How to Put Your Music in Movies – The Hidden Riches of Licensing

Most of those within the music industry limit their transactions to physical and digital sales only. A few more people may even think about selling merchandise and only the smallest percentage ever think of anything trying something else – very exclusive and smart group!

What are the sync and build offers? How do you get one and what can you expect to gain from them?

First of all, sync agreements are contracts made between the owner of the music and the company/business that uses the content with images. As the name suggests, it is the idea of ​​using music with movies, games, or advertising.

According to AIM (Association of Independent Music), there has recently been a shift towards this area of ​​the music business in an effort to generate money lost from the drop in physical sales.

The good news is that not all music used is from great artists! Independents can also find a foothold in this area. And the fees can be quite substantial too, anywhere from £1000 – £50,000 for a major use of the film!

The best news is that you don’t have to recreate the content. Rather you are enjoying content maximization!

Compilation offers are a contract between the content/music owner and the record company(s) who want to use their track(s) on a compilation. Almost every music genre, from pop to classical music, produces compilations. In fact, one of the reasons people enjoy digital downloads is that they no longer need to buy an entire album (especially some albums that only have one good song). Rather, they can buy tracks from different albums. It’s that same idea that record labels have used for many years.

One of the most popular compilations in the UK is the “Now That’s What I Call Music” series, which is rumored to sell for 100,000. The Ministry of Sound has also added many pounds to their earnings by releasing numerous dance compilations!

Even better is the fact that many companies around the world release compilations of different genres and are always on the lookout for tracks.

Let me whet your appetite even more. For a compilation license deal you can earn between £100 and £5000 per track for a non-exclusive license deal.

Can you imagine that after you’ve released your songs on your label, you embark on an aggressive policy of securing compilation deals worldwide, and through your efforts, you secure 30 compilation deals averaging £600 each? ? That will add a £18,000 contribution to your bottom line, all for the cost of shipping a few CDs.

If you’re lucky enough to land at least 3 sync deals for £5,000 each, that’s another £15,000! In total, he has earned £32,000 from one or 2 tracks.

It’s possible? Yes!

It is easy? Not! Otherwise everyone would be doing it!
