Up to 30% Forward Rate

Post by jefflaplante » Wed Mar 30, 2022 11:51 am

I know that a 30% forward rate is nothing to brag about, but it is way up from last year's 15% and 2020"s 12%. Still nowhere near my goal of 50%, but steadily climbing. Here is my most recent forward, for an EDM listing.

I think anything above 30% is decent going.

If you get to the point where you mostly end up getting returns for stylistic reasons then it's a good way of building up a stash of tracks that you can later sign directly with your library partners.

All of my returns are signed to libraries , and plenty of them have TV placements.

You 2x'd 2021 so I say you are on the right track for sure! That is also my goal for this year - more forwards. Heard some of your stuff in the forwards blog and I really like your sound man. Celebrate the small victories and keep up the good work :) cheers!
