Music Business Movie Money

Are you making music business movie money yet? You should be!
Have you attended any independent film festivals yet? You could
Have you contacted independent film makers on myspace and youtube? You could!

There are a number of revenue streams with music being associated with a film. Some of the potential royalties come from music being used in the film (film scoring) -the amount of money paid depends on the commercial success of the artist prior to the song being used, how much of the song will be used, if the song was previously released and if so what type of commercial success did the song garner, where in the movie will the song be used, will the song be an original composition or that of which was previously released.

Other considerations include if the music is being used in the movie trailer or will the song be a song with lyrics or is it an instrumental.

The PRO's -performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC) typically don't pay these royalties unless the music is being publicly, broadcast in the case of the movie trailer being played on tv, aired on radio and/or being shown in movie theaters. The good thing is because there are so many ways to get paid that the recording artist, musicians, composers and music publishing companies have a great opportunity to participate in various revenue streams.

For further details I'd suggest contacting Allen Johnston or JaWar for one-on-one consulting/coaching. You'll also want to download the Music Industry Connection Book Series for additional ways to get paid in the music business.

How Do I Sell My Stuff?

Below is my response to a forum posted on Word on the Streets Magazine called How do I sell My Stuff?

Know that there's a difference between stuff, beats and music production.

Stuff -could be anything that nobody wants.
Beats -don't require a great deal of work and development on your part.
Music Production -Is when you help to develop a sound for an artist & bring the project to life.
