If you’re a beginner to intermediate independent recording artist, this ebook guide offers you the essential foundations for successfully releasing your recordings. You’ll learn how to distribute and promote your releases then bring home the maximum royalty-per-stream. I’ve also included my Sync Licensing Blueprint, a highly requested topic that I’ve taught at workshops and through social media content.
Some of the subject matter covered:
Referencing to help determine when your record is release-ready
Essential audio and visual final files for release
Receive royalties via split sheets and work registrations
Overlooked sources of royalties
Planning and uploading your release
Promoting your release
Post-release positive mindset
BONUS: How to write music for sync licensing, get signed by a sync publisher and continue growing once signed
If only I had all of this info in one concise guide earlier in my career! The answers existed when I started nearly 20 years ago but were scattered and often felt too bogged down in technical jargon to be helpful. I’ve been producing and mixing indie music releases since 2008, some of which have found substantial fanbases and launched successful careers. Over the years I’ve noted the lessons from the successful releases and the questions from my clients I hoped to one day have better answers for. Now armed with over 15 years of experience behind-the-scenes, I’m here to answer those questions in an easy to follow format with Our Own Way.
