First 2 Placements

Post by mteezykeys » Thu Nov 16, 2023 7:27 pm

Woke up to a surprise $18.70 in royalties (still better than my spotify royalties). Apparently two of my tracks were placed in radio commercials during the 2nd quarter of 2023. One of the tracks placed was something I wrote for a TAXI listing that was returned. I'm excited that after feeding the pipeline with compositions, there is finally something coming out of the other side.

Thanks to all of you who have critiqued my instrumentals over the past two years.

Congrats! :D :D It shows that one of the advantages of writing for Taxi listings is even if you don't get the forward, you often still have a very marketable piece.

Congratulations on your success! I also woke up to 2 sales from my photography agent this morning, it's always nice to have unexpected returns for your efforts.

As a newbie to TAXI (but a 45 year freelancing veteran in another field), I'm slightly concerned to hear that your sale was on something that was passed over by the TAXI supervisors. It makes me a bit nervous for my first 10 pending submissions, as they might be returned and yet still be good enough for the marketplace - but i don't have any contacts outside of TAXI.

IMHO you're worrying about the wrong things.
No, I was actually worried about a specific thing...namely the right music not being passed to the client. But, what I'd overlooked (or not realised) was that the subsequent placement was with a different client. So, your point is well made and well delivered and makes me feel less worried. Thanks.
