Music Licensing Money

What do I mean by the little details? It means you have to fully take on the role of musician. Act like one, be one! Over and over again we had bands contact us with oddball email addresses. We wondered about how legit the person contacting us were? Are these guys really in a band, is this a scam a joke? The email was not from an email address with a bands website domain but just some oddball email address that has nothing to do with the band at aol.com or something like that. Maybe hotmail or yahoo.

That comes off like it’s coming from a person not too serious about their music. It feels like it’s coming from a person who doesn’t really care about first impressions. This person is not too serious about their music and that’s why they haven’t paid the ten dollars a year which is only what it would cost for a domain name for their band.

I think having a bands domain name address is very, very important. Much more important than having a myspace page which most bands have these days. Yes Myspace is important for networking and such but a personalized domain name is much more information. Pay the 10 dollars a year and get 5 dollar a month hosting plan and get your bands website set up. It’s really easy. A lot of hosting companies offer free web templates or do it yourself. I think WordPress is even an awesome tool (which is what I’m using to write this blog) and you can put together your own website that will look very professional with WordPress and their free templates.

Use your domain email address versus some generic name you came up with at gmail or yahoo dot com. The more professional you come off to your clients the more chances you will be noticed and the more music licensing opportunities you will have at licensing your music and making money!

Makes sense right?

It’s the truth but it happens over and over again. From past experience many musicians tend to be too scattered and all over the place and not very responsible with emails or calls. So if you want to make money from your music and you are very serious about it then be responsible and follow up with your clients.

If you list your tracks with music licensing companies make sure all your information is sent over to the clients. Any specific track information like writer info, publishing info, any moods, themes all of that good stuff include it along. For one reason it will make it easier on the licensing company to actually license your tracks and also if they have licenses for you but are missing certain information then they don’t have to follow up with you to obtain the additional necessary information. If that happens you might lose out on the licenses and I’m sure you don’t want to lose out on the chance of making money do you?

I can’t tell you how many times in the past we’ve had to obtain certain unprovided information from bands we had listed for licensing and many times we were unable to get in touch with them or were too late to reply back to us. Sometimes the email addresses or phone numbers would get disconnected and we would not be updated with current information from the band and oh well they lost out.

So I can’t stress how important it is when you are working with clients. It’s important to provide all information and keep updating the clients with all your current info. Because you never know when a music license opportunity might come up and you are missing in action and lose out on a 15 thousand dollar license.
