10 forwards 2 placements.

Post by pveniot » Sat Nov 24, 2018 3:49 am

Hi all,
Don't like to brag, put it helps my puny EGO!!!
Member since May 2018.
Submitted 36 times, 10 forwards, 2 publishing contracts on my desk...

Batting average: .277 not bad for a rookie but was swinging too much on curve balls!
Screener coach told me to swing less, wait for your pitch...

It is a great feeling when you know that your work is playing in the traffic now...

Submitting 2-3 songs a week now... just can't stop, it's a great job.

Success to all

That's really good stats Pierre. Expect you'll be quitting your day job pretty soon.

Congrats on the two deals, some good numbers there you must be doing something right. Keep going.

A placement is when it shows up in a TV or Movie though, not gets accepted into Library so there's a few more hoops for those tracks to jump thorugh before you hit paydirt.

It's a good idea to open a free Tunesat Account if you don't have one yet, and drop those signed tracks into it so you can monitor if any of them do get placed, it could be a while though..stuff that we got accepted into a Library this time last year has only recently landed a placement.

The best thing is to build a relationship now with those two Libraries and feed them direct with whatver else they need that you can supply.

Mark
