“Just wondering if the RF sites provide a good regular income”
Back end PRO income, for me, is way better than RF income.
Generally no but I have one cue, in particular, that gets purchased over and over again off of a RF site and is used constantly on NBC and CBS sports shows. I can only imagine that the same client re-purchases for each show.
Initially I found it being used via my Tunesat account. When it showed up on my PRO statement they had the composers listed correctly but the wrong publisher info. I contacted BMI and they straightened that out. I title my RF cues differently so I had a pretty good idea where it was purchased.
To those folks trying to post their company’s “solution” to those wanting set up their own library: Please see – https://musiclibraryreport.com/advertising-on-music-library-report/ and help support MLR!
“Before any of you spend another dime, check out Source Audio.”
I did and thought they were pricey. Nice site though.
“Art why are you blocking my posts. I’m not saying any thing crazy?”
Sorry bigg rome, I’m trying to figure out why you are being blocked. There’s no indication on the back end but I am working on it. Please bear with me.
“I think my last post must be awaiting moderation. ?”
Posts with links will automatically get sent to moderation.
“Oh, I totally understand the need for them. It just that it takes 4-5 tries before I can get one to go through!”
Oh, that’s a bummer, I hadn’t heard that before. I’ll look around for another Captcha plug in.
“also, these captcha codes are ridiculous…”
You wouldn’t think so if you had to clean up from the spam bots every day! As it is they still get some through.
No, I didn’t file anything so they were picked up off a cue sheet(?). Interestingly they were on the USA Network which according to the BMI site they don’t collect on. I think that info must not be up to date.
“Almost all my jp placements are on cable shows that have lots of reruns over months of airing.”
It’s been said here before. It’s a numbers game!
“JP does do much more than just MTV placements, I have placements with them on quite a few cable and network shows”
Very true. In fact last BMI statement I had over $1500 in just PAs (Promotional Announcements) JP was responsible for.
Wish I could get the ^@%#$ “Quote” thing to work!
Okay here goes.
Great post as usual MichaelL. I agree that generally AS and other RF libraries have a different client base than a JP type library. I do tend to throw everything at a library though.
“When I get an assignment from a library, 9 times out of 10 its not “give us a rock track, or a hip hop track. etc” It’s give us a sports track, a news track, a nostalgic track.”
The above is the thing that took a long time to get through my head. I do find by changing the description to point to a “use” instead of a genre it seems to be helping sales on RF sites. In fact AS seems to be adding those “use” type of “genres” more and more.
Hi Cari, Have you checked out
https://musiclibraryreport.com/e-to-g/gamecues/?
Don’t know if they are still active.“Thanks lots left to do on it”
There is no end. Every time I get something figured out something else breaks! LOL!
I’m still in the non-exclusive camp as my PRO money is almost all non-exclusive and grows each quarter. A good chunk of that is from Jingle Punks (and yes I see stuff on Scripps every day, sigh…).
