    EP120. A Bewitching Sync Licensing Talk with Sonnet Simmons of 2Indie | Exclusivity, Sync Agents

    Sell Your Music Direct to Non-Exclusive Libraries: https://payhip.com/b/pvsfL Get Your Music to TV, Film, Ads, and Gaming: https://payhip.com/b/KtoqH For this episode airing on Halloween, we have some very scaaaary sync licensing stories that may or may not have been told by a witch. Ok, so that’s not exactly true. They aren’t scary stories and aren’t told by a witch…or are they? I’ve told you many times many times about when I first heard about this thing Sync Licensing on a podcast. A lady named Cathy Heller was talking about how artists and songwriters could make music income by getting their songs into TV, film, advertising, and videos games. Hearing that podcast was basically a "turn that car around" moment for me professionally and changed the path of both my music business and my personal music focus. I went from producer back to composer, eventually getting both my first sync deal with a BMG library AND a master’s degree in music composition. Scary twist? Not really. Well, today I’m going to speak with Sonnet Simmons of  @2indieofficial  who was part of that journey with Cathy Heller and their company Catch the Moon, and now works in, and teaches others, about sync licensing through her podcast 2Indie.

    Upload Your Music Direct to Non-Exclusive Libraries: https://payhip.com/b/pvsfL Get Your Music to TV, Film, Ads, and Gaming: https://payhip.com/b/KtoqH I’m not going to bury the lead here: yesterday myself and likely hundreds if not thousands of music creators checked our Pond5 accounts and saw a HUGE deposit called Dataset Earnings. The Make Music Income Discord blew up with people reporting hundreds, or thousands of dollars deposited into their Pond5 accounts. How was this possible?

    EP114. Sync & Stock: It's All Music Licensing | Why You Should Do Both in 2024/2025

    So there’s lots of ways you can license your music. On this channel we talk a lot about sync licensing to TV, film, advertising, and gaming, and micro-sync or stock (micro-sync is the cool word for it now wink) for YouTube, presentations and other uses. Now, many people think of being on TV and Film and Ads as more prestigious and bigger money, and I would say it is. It’s where I focus my time with music these days. But I also still make MONTHLY income from web sites like Pond5, Motion Array, and others. No waiting 9 months for BMI or for “upfronts”. No losing my publishing. I do not pass Go, but I still collect $200! I believe in both. In fact I kind of think they go together. Brought to you by The Getting in Sync and Stock Market Courses. You can now get them BOTH at 25% off because I believe in doing both! So do both! Introducing "The Music Licensing Course Bundle!"
