Can anyone out there that’s making a living off of PRO payments tell me if their quarterly payments increased gradually or was there a point when they jumped suddenly to larger amounts?
That would really depend on the kinds of placements you are getting in a particular quarter. I think generally speaking it slowly builds. That’s been the case for me.
I think it would be dangerous to assume that PRO royalties will always increase over time. A lot of music has a “shelf-life,” especially if your music is trend based, rather than covering many genres. Then, there are cues that an ad agency friend of mine calls “evergreen.” They make money for years.
Art has a lot of depth in his catalog, which is a good long term strategy.

If you’re:
1) regularly delivering music to a library / libraries, and..
2) they get their catalog used on 1st tier cable and network shows, and…
3) your tracks are appropriate for those shows,
then you should definitely see a steady increase in royalties checks.
Spikes in the upward curve will happen when you get a nice chunk of music used on a network show, or you get a track used as a theme.+1 for what MichaelL said about “evergreen” tracks.
