Hi, Anya

Pro services do not add additional cost to collect money due to you. Their money is made from yearly memberships. All outlets are or, should be reporting a cue sheet(s) to a PRO service so they can track where your placement(s) are being used and then collect all your earnings. Take for instances;

PRO services (Performing Rights Organizations) handle different aspects.

e.g. BMI – collects royalties for intellectual and live performances and MLC (Mechanical License Collective) would collect those fees associated across media and streaming…

If you are US bound, check out BMI, ASCAP or SESAC. Find the one that is right for you. For mechanicals check out the MLC and you can always keep up where your tracks are drawing attention at TUNESAT.

Hi, Candy,

Five and Six figure upfront sync fees are typical for great tracks made for multimedia outlets and others. But, the question relies on whether or not you are registered with PRO services and as a publisher as well to maintain the collection of royalties across the board so you are not missing out on money due to you.
Ask yourself these questions:
•Should it be a non exclusive (meaning you can have the same opportunities for other licensing deals)?
• will I be able to collect mechanical royalties without being or having a publisher?
. Who will be the administrator(s) for a one stop shop?
• Is your works registered and copyrighted?
There are several ways to collect and the most important, is to make sure you are setting yourself up to collect all earnings.

Don’t just second guess your talent because if they are offering that kind of money, that means you have what it takes to make your music career a success.

Just make sure you are able to collect from all avenues and you will do great!

Wishing you all the best,

Cheer’s
