First Deal after 3 years

Post by andyjs » Tue Jun 07, 2016 6:53 pm

Thrilled to get my first deal a few weeks back for a chill wave cue (https://soundcloud.com/amberbay/limitless-space).
I’ve been a member for 3 years and until this came through I’d pretty much decided not to renew, concluding that I wasn’t good enough to ever get a deal. However, when I look back I realised I’d been really underusing my membership and only submitted about 25 times in total and from that had 10 forwards.
So I’ve renewed for another two years and will try to make better use of my membership this time. The shift to instrumentals works much better for me and I can get in a submission on average once a week now, so fingers crossed another deal comes along soon.

That's actually not bad. You are plenty good enough in my opinion.

Hey Andy,

Great track and good mix - congrats on the forwards and the deal.

If you are getting approximately 50% forward rate, and you are submitting frequently enough (as you say once a week) the deals will keep coming.

Happy writing!
