Details/Description:
MAKING MUSIC MAKE MONEY: An Insider's Guide to Becoming Your Own Music Publisher by Sony Music Publishing executive Eric
Beall will educate songwriters, as well as aspiring music business entrepreneurs in the basics of becoming a successful
independent music publisher. Topics include a discussion of the various roles a publisher plays in the music business: collection,
administration, protection, exploitation and evaluation. A major emphasis is placed on the exploitation process, and the
importance of creating a sound business model for a new publishing venture.
Successful songwriters know that to really make it in today's music business, you have to get your music published. Eric Beall,
Vice President, Creative at Sony/ATV Music, helps songwriters traverse the intricate maze, pitfalls, and obstacles surrounding
music publishing in MAKING MUSIC MAKE MONEY: An Insider's Guide to Becoming Your Own Music Publisher.
"First, most songwriters need to realize that they already have a music publisher: themselves," writes Beall. "The problem is that
most writers either don't realize that they are already music publishers, or don't understand how to effectively act as their own
publisher."
MAKING MUSIC MAKE MONEY will empower songwriters to take charge of their own careers. It provides an insider's view of the music
publishing business, and offers some practical and up-to-the-minute tips to help writers make a living doing what they do best:
writing songs.
Beall covers everything you need to know to get published, including:
* The role of the music publisher
* Understanding the copyright: how to get one, use one, and make money from one
* Building a business plan and setting up shop
* Identifying which songs to sell, who to sell them to, and then how to ensure that you get paid
* Protecting yourself from copyright infringement
* and much much more!
