FINDING OPPORTUNITIES I got a call yesterday from someone who wanted to license two of my instrumental tracks for a video project he was working on. OK, that’s not really true. He actually called me LAST WEEK!…and I didn’t bother to check my messages until yesterday when I called him back. I’m TERRIBLE! Sure, I was traveling, very busy, etc., but is that really an excuse?? Anyway…so the guy is working with a film editor in Wilmington, NC and wants to use 8 seconds of one of my tracks and 6 seconds or so of another. I thought I’d describe how I did this in case it helps any of you musicians out there. Apparently, those discs are still hanging around the editor’s studio…and when one of his friends came in to put together a video project for the company he worked for, he took a listen and liked a couple of the instrumental tracks for the project. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Another thing you should put together is a basic sync and master use contract template. 7. That’s all for now…email me if you have any questions.

Freelance Jobs > Writing & Translation Jobs > Song Writing Jobs How should you approach a record label or manager? What’s the best way to get the attention of a music industry executive when sending in a demo? Just picture their usual response – a cursory glance at a web page or a CD tossed in the bin without being listened to. I can’t begin to tell you how many thousands of demos I’ve not listened to – and I’m confident that I have never missed a great demo in doing so. If you’ve sent us a demo or a MySpace link in the last few months, you may well be reading this post. It was only when I started writing the blog posts for here that I realised that one of the things that we get asked all the time is whether it’s OK to send us a demo, how should we send it in, who to, is a web link OK, and all possible variations on that theme. So, not only does that question need answering, but unique amongst Internet Music Marketing folk, I can answer it from the perspective of the submitter and the receiver of the demo! Is it OK to send a demo? Secondly, it’s always too soon.
How to promote music on Spotify I’ve been looking at how to promote music on Spotify. There’s a couple of things that I needed to sort out for artists that I work with relating to their presence on Spotify. That led me to start to make some decisions about the basics of using Spotify for promotion as a musician – so this is what I have uncovered so far as it applied to the issues I was having. This is just about getting the basics right to start with – I think I’m right, but it’s a work in progress, so let me know what else you know! The obvious issue is that with Spotify getting serious traction in the UK and the US, any artist would be a fool not to use it, have their music on there and work out how to maximise that exposure. I know some people think the royalties are too low and you’re better off not being on Spotify – that might work for Coldplay looking to maximise their ‘week one’ sales, but I see no justification for a DIY or indie artist not being on there.
