Advertising Agencies Need Your Music
Posted by in income from music licensing, music licensing on August 31, 2011
Yes it’s very true! Advertising agency producers are all on the cutting edge and they want the latest and greatest musical sounds as the soundtrack to their commercials and web films. Advertising agencies are tired of using the same music over and over again and they want fresh and unique sounds. The ad agency producers are tired of using the music from the big music production libraries and want to license your indie music for their ad campaigns. They want to license music from indie bands and indie labels with cool, cutting edge sounds!
Before you get really excited about the advertising agency opportunity you must think of a couple of things. As I mentioned before advertising agencies are all on the cutting edge so they want the music to be the freshest, most excellently produced, most original and latest sounds so if your music is not all of those things then start thinking about producing some! Or else advertising agencies are not going to listen to your music at all. They won’t even consider it unless it has some unique edge to it. Advertising agency producers usually license cutting edge, unique and quirky off the wall type recordings so if you producer music like this then you are already ahead!
If you end up connecting with an advertising agency then you can make anywhere from the low hundreds of dollars to over 75,000 thousand dollars and this usually depends on the type of usage and how many times it’s played, how long of a term all of that good stuff.
So get your music prepped and start submitting your music to be licensed by agency producers producing TV commercials and internet videos. It’s never too late to license your music to ad agencies and you can make a lot of money if your music is quality and fits with a projects requirements for music. And once that happens it can be your lucky day! It’s never too late to start making money licensing your music into commercials!

When It Comes To Music Licensing The Little Details Matter!
When It Comes To Music Licensing The Little Details Matter? What this means is that you have to completely live the life of the musician. Be a real musician, act like a real musician. I can’t tell you how many times over and over again bands make contact and send us music from crazy email addresses that you can’t get a response from. Email addresses that bounce because the musician was careless about including a legit email address. If you are a real musician or are from a real legit band use your bands or artist name domain url band email address. Make it legit. Don’t use some crazy email address that has nothing to do with your real musician identity.
To the person receiving your music it looks like it’s coming from someone that’s not a musician. First impressions totally matter and if you come off like a real musician that’s interested in music licensing and the person on the receiving end will act like a real serious person interested in your music and you might get a real actual reply about your music.
Having an actual real website is very important. Ok having a page on Myspace, Facebook or some other music social networking site but having your real domain name registered and having a website present online is very important. This makes it look like you are a serious musician and are very serious about licensing your music and making money from music licensing. Don’t get me wrong Myspace, Facebook and other social networking presence are all very important to have but it’s definitely not a real website. And not having your real website looks like you are not a serious musician. And it’s not too difficult to have a website either. It’s so easy to put something together on your own domain name. And some are so easy to put together if you know how to put a Myspace and Facebook page together then you know how to put together a quick website with existing templates from hosting companies.
Use your domain’s email address versus a yahoo or gmail email address. Most of those services like yahoo and gmail allow you to run your personal domain email address through yahoo and gmail and you will be able to send and receive emails from your personal domain but using a service like yahoo and gmail so it looks a lot more official.
