    My guess is that this demand for well produced RF music will only keep on growing for as long as I can see into the future

    I totally agree with this, more and more video are being uploaded everywhere. The numbers are crazy when it comes to the hours of video being uploaded every minute. Many of these video producers will need good RF background music.

    More and more people are also getting access to the Internet, this again means this is a gowning market. Apps, small games and podcasts with the need for music is also on the rise.

    Sure you can’t just upload some random music in a few places and expect to sell a lot, but you cant do that in any business. You have to fight to become successful

    I only have 11 tracks online and have so far made $390 since February. This money I made from a few libraries like pond5, revostock and productiontrax.

    I have not done much since June so you can definitely make some money from the RF libraries. With 100 tracks and no more promotion done on my part, not adding music to new libraries, no other positive factors included (like returning customers) a 100 tracks would make around $4700 a year.

    I don’t think the RF libraries should be underestimated…

    I’m also new to the RF libraries (started January 2012) and a lot of my time have therefore been spent on research, but now I’m back into composing music and think the future is looking quite bright. Here a few of my tips:

    – Compose music that producers can actually use in their productions like corporate music, commercial, trailer etc.
    – Make sure you optimize your track titles, tags and descriptions
    – Make every track in 30 sec, 60 sec and a full version
    – Promote your music using YouTube, Twitter, Soundcloud, Facebook, blogs etc.
    – Quality over quantity
    – You can find more tips and strategies on my blog

    You can sign with  BMI if you’re not living in US. You just can’t do it via the online form but have to fill out some papers and send it back to them due to some taxation issues.

    I will primarily be targeting the U.S. market and therefore BMI seems like a logical choice, but then again with most library music it could be broadcast anywhere in the world.

    From what I’m been able to figure out (from different forums), getting something from BMI or ASCAP can also take a couple of years.
