The Ins and Outs of Music Licensing
This week Liz Lottmann shares a link to sent to her by Bree Noble (bree@femusician.com), as part of Bree's Female Musicians Network (though it applies to ALL musicians.)

But for those who want to get a quick head's up, Bree shares the following:
 
 "Mark Twain said, 'The secret to getting ahead is getting started.'
How easy is that, right?
Well, for some, just getting started can be a hurdle. It’s easy to dream, but not as easy to take action… especially when you’re not sure what to do.
That’s where the 4 Steps to Licensing Success come in. These 4 steps, created by my friend Michael Elsner who's landed over 2,200 licensing placements, lay out the path that will allow you to 
This is a proven system… it’s not only allowed Michael to generate over 2,200 placements of his own music, but he's seen many other artists and musicians just like you apply these 4 Steps with incredible results.
If you’ve been wanting to get your music on TV Shows, Films and Commercials, but haven’t been sure of HOW to walk down this road, you NEED to check out this video.
This is the 2nd video in a free 3-part series. If you missed the 1st video, be sure to watch that first (click on video 1 on the page once you get access).
The 1st video addresses burning questions I get all the time like 'how does publishing work' and 'what is the best way to connect with supervisors and licensing decision-makers'.
You know I hate fluff...
There's NOTHING fluffy about this training. You'll get real knowledge, light bulb moments and tangible steps you can start applying right away.
Michael isn't some flashy Nashville persona...he's genuine and authentic and his greatest desire is to help YOU with this training series.
Michael has a refreshingly different & honest take on this subject (I've attended a LOT of licensing training over the years so that's a ringing endorsement).
