EP. 31 How To Collect Backend Money From TV Placements
Monday Feb 14, 2022
Monday Feb 14, 2022
On this episode of the music is my business podcast I hosted a live Q and A about:
Is song trader a good look if I want to get into sync?
How do you go about dealing with backends?
Do your collabs work on a 50-50 split? And is that distributed fairly through royalty companies or is it easier to just pay an artist a one-off fee for say a vocal feature or a sax player for example?
Is it a smart move to find space for a recording studio if you don't have clients?
Should I take down my submissions from other music libraries if they get licensed through one?
