FAQs About The 365 Day Music Licensing Challenge
Who is the ideal candidate for this program?
Anyone who is looking to learn how to license their music in tv, films and ads. Whether you've already been licensing your music for several years, or you are new to licensing and just getting started, the 365 Day Music Licensing Challenge will be applicable to your goals.
Our training and program really covers all aspects of sync licensing, from the very basics of sync licensing and how to get started, to really advanced concepts like how to write music for very specific facets of sync, like advertising or writing music specifically for TV, our material covers everything you need to know to move forward in the world of sync licensing.
How much time do I need each day to do the program? A year sounds intense!
All of the material and training in the program can be done at your convenience throughout the 365 Days you have access to the program. We will be posting sync licensing leads and sync licensing tutorials on a daily basis, but if you miss a day or two you can go back at any point and catch up. Like anything, the more time you invest in our material and putting the concepts you learn into action, the better results you'll have.
Why a year?
It takes time to achieve success in sync licensing. It's simply the nature of the business. It takes time to make connections, submit your music, follow up and eventually start seeing results. Which is why we have chosen to give you access to all of our training material included in the program for an entire year.
What specifically will I learn by taking the 365 Day Music Licensing Challenge?
Again, we cover pretty much every imaginable topic related to licensing your music in tv, films and ads that you can imagine. We cover a very wide range of topics, so it's hard to address them all, but to give you an idea, here are some of the topics you'll learn about in the program:
-How to pitch music to supervisors
-How to write music specifically for television
-How to create your own music library
-How to mix and master music for Sync
-How to reach out to music libraries
-How contracts in sync licensing work
-How metadata works
-How to make sure you get paid for all your syncs
-How to network and cultivate relationships
-How to write instrumental cues for television
-How to get paid upfront for your tracks
-How to write tracks for television on a deadline
-and much more!
What kind of leads do you provide?
We post a wide variety of leads, including leads to supervisors, music libraries, publishers and sync licensing agencies. The leads we post are dependent upon who is looking for music throughout the 365 day long program, which obviously fluctuates. But we will post at least one new lead every single day throughout the program to places that are actively looking for new music.
If I take your program am I guaranteed to license my music?
We cannot provide any guarantees of this sort. Your success will be dependent upon a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. The kind of music you make, the quality of your music and the actions you do or don't take are all beyond our control. However, we do guarantee that we will provide all the tools and training necessary for you to succeed in sync licensing, if you take the requisite action, which we outline in the 365 Day Challenge. We also have a 15-year history of helping artists get started licensing their music and have helped thousands of artists get started in the music licensing business. (See our credits below)
Any other questions? If there's anything we didn't cover, feel free to reach out to Aaron Davison via email, here.
