My first royalty was $14! Took another 4 years to hit $1000. Now I wonder how long until I hit 5 figures!!
Best quarter for me yet… by just a little. I wonder how long royalties would keep coming in after we die.
Same here. But what does all this mean in simple to understand terms??
Studio Fontana in Czech Republic had me do some solo piano albums and they have placed well.
Down 15% from last quarter but still a good quarter for me.
My last statement was an all time high! International earnings are now more than US.
MY first PRO payout was a HUGE $14 back in 2014! It took about 5 years to start seeing at least $1000 per quarter but I would do things differently now. I started out in the RF field but have since totally abandoned it. I now average $2500 to $3000 per quarter… not rich by any means, but it helps to nicely supplement my other income.
I’d say my 2021 looked a lot like yours. Mostly backend royalties from reality TV placements. I did get a few up front work-for-hire payments and also some from streaming non-exclusive music. I almost hit $20k total music revenue which is a big deal for me. 🙂 I have other sources of income so don’t totally rely on it. I’ve been doing production music seriously for about 6 years.
Mine dropped a little. Saw increase in foreign placements and on demand.
I’ve had hearing loss for probably 20 years but finally got behind the ear hearing aids 2 years ago when I got tested again and was categorized with “profound” hearing loss about 2000Hz. But I just can’t use them when mixing. I use headphones exclusively because I would miss too much without them. So far I have not had any negative feedback about my mixes so I guess I’m doing okay. I do know that I rarely use high frequency instruments such as cymbals, shakers, bells, etc etc, because I can’t hear them in the mix anyway.
