Eight Year Update

[edmondredd]

Love to read your yearly recaps Marc!
Everyone's jouerney is quite different in its own, insightful and interesting, but the basic premises are constantly the same: hard work always pays off!
Here's to another succesful 2024 and looking forward to read more of your successes in 2025

Congratulations on all your success Mark! Thanks for sharing this. I'm starting year four, and I find it really enlightening to read about your experience in this industry.

Thanks, best of luck with your year four - Everyone's path is unique and no two journey's are the same but hopefully it demonstrates that a long term mind set is what's required in this game.

Wow, congrats Mark, what an amazing journey. I'm UK based too, thanks for the inspiration to help us all continue in the business.

Thanks Richie , nice to hear from a fellow Brit - best of luck for this year

Mark-
All the best for 2024! In the limited time I have been on here, you have been very helpful, and I appreciate it!

You too Brad thanks for stopping by

Congrats on the success and upward trajectory!

Cheers Paulie, you too. Enjoyed your video with Dave Kropf recently and learned some stuff I didn't know- Great interview

Great update. Thanks for posting. BIG congrats on your growth in earnings and placements. Double it again this year .. or maybe Triple it!

Haha - I think doubling it may be a stretch but I am hoping for double figure income, that was my original goal

Thanks for sharing all of this info and Congratulations!

Cheers Brent , tune in this time next year for an update !

Super interesting read there, and all exemplary documented. Thank you for sharing it!

I was wondering if you have ever made any 'crosschecks' regarding roughly what percentage of data from Tunesat finds its way into the PRO statement, and what percentage from the PRO statement was never picked up by Tunesat?

Big congrats on your success!

Hey Anders

Thanks for checking out my thread, yes I have tried to keep a crosscheck of things but it's not that simple. I would say that 90%+ of stuff that appears on my PRO statement is something I was previously aware of because of Tunesat.

However it doesn't cover all terriotories, so for example a couple of statements back I had a large chunk of change for something in Japan that I knew nothing about, and a similar thing happened for a track that was on BBC radio in Ireland so I was not aware as Tunesat only picks up TV.

Then there is also the time lag, so the gap between me seeing a Tunesat detection in Germany for example and the receiving the royalties in the UK can be up to 2yrs due the way GEMA only pay them once per year.

There are also things that air that are "Non-PRO"..i.e. it's been on TV but doesn't necessarily mean you get anything for it. Things like Promos ( Ads for other TV shows on the network ) can often be unpaid for example esepecially on cable channels.
