Don’t really want to turn this thread into an exclusive vs. nonexclusive debate though.
Let’s not, it’s been talked to death and those comments will be deleted! Anyone that wants to weed through that debate please go to:
I just removed content in the last post from “More advice” as it was not appropriate to the thread. Please keep on topic.
Really guys. These long multi paragraph rants are getting tiring. We all have our own lives to live and our own paths to follow. This topic has been talked to death and now closed.
Deleted Tbone’s post. A current subscriber can e-mail me and I will answer any of those types of questions.
some saying they have only signed a couple ‘to test the water’
I have no problem with testing the waters.
I’ve always believed that keeping ones copyright is sacred. The two exclusive deals that I’m talking about have reversion clauses. There’s an old saying: “No risk, no reward” so I’m willing to take this very small risk.
Only if there is time to write something new…
I don’t have a lot of experience in the music library world compared to many but I have learned that a lot of “what ifs” have very seldom, if ever, materialized, at least for me. I have always followed my gut instinct and I can’t say it’s ever let me down. So, I party on. 🙂
But…Art and DI, what if a colleague approaches you and says “Hey, I am onto this opportunity…send me a track that has “blank” sound and I’ll split the fee with you if they buy it.”
I’m with DI. First I don’t plan to have many in exclusives to begin with. More of a test run to see if it actually makes a difference in dollars. And, I would never send a colleague a track that was exclusive to someone else. What would be the point? Just easier to write something new.
Not going ahead.

http://www.artmunsonmusic.comI did spend some money on custom programing the playlist function and grouping of alt mixes (about $2k) but you could get away without it. Without it there is the shopping cart software (eStore – about $50), a bunch of free plugins and what ever your hosting cost (about $10 per month for me). And, a lot of time learning and building it!
Only had one sale so far but haven’t had much time to go out and promote it yet.
