Hey thanks for all the info. So my question is how you find the supervisors or people who work on that positions… I mean How to “appear on their radar”?

3- Getting YouTubers to License Your Tracks Through a Music Library
hey Joyce, i recently read your article about getting youtubers to license tracks through a music library. however, that got my gears turning. 1) i’ve been rejected from every music library i’ve ever applied to. BUT that’s kind of my music career in a nutshell.
which makes me wonder…
if i’m doing the outreach and building these relationships with content creators already, what’s your take on having my own music library that i license through? thinking of doing a subscription model where creators can license the tunes from me directly. rather than driving traffic to an epidemic sounds, jingle punks, etc they just go to my personal website.
feel like as independent creators themselves they would value the idea of working with one. maybe i’m being romantic.
thoughts?
Hey Kia,
To get started, I would advise working with libraries and driving traffic there because you don’t have to worry too much about stuff like pricing and contracts. You know, the stuff that gets in the way of making music and promoting it 😉
Having said that, you could absolutely build your own music library if you wanted to. You might want to look at <
