I have several songs placed in two of the Popular Music libraries mentioned in the article plus another library loved by Taxi but no sales yet. It would be interesting if the work of running your own library would be more productive than writing songs.

John Houlihan's simple steps to getting placed: http://wecreatemusic.ascap.com/post/201 ... lihan.aspx

I have heard this advice several times in other articles besides John Houlihan's

" It’s hard to find a female singer/songwriter with songs that are not too specific, like Sheryl Crow’ and “Every Day Is A Winding Road,” which got lots of placements. Typical female singer/songwriter material is often heart-on-sleeve, and difficult to place. On this same point, music supervisor Andrea von Foerster commented in an earlier session that she would love to find a female vocal singer/songwriter with a song about “nothing.” Harder than it seems!"

Interesting bits and pieces you come up with Mojo!
