WHAT'S INSIDE
Everything the industry doesn't tell you
Most composers find out how production music works through trial and error - wrong deals, missed royalties, rejection with no explanation. This guide cuts straight to how it actually works.
01
How music gets licensed
Sync fees, royalties, and the difference between a one-time payment and long-term income.
02
Exclusive vs non-exclusive
What each deal type means for your rights, your income, and your freedom to submit elsewhere.
03
How to find the right libraries
What to look for, what to avoid, and how to research before you submit.
04
What music libraries actually want
The brief, the brief, the brief. How to write music that solves a problem.
05
PRO registration explained
Writer's share, publisher's share, and exactly who registers what - for every deal type.
06
Why tracks get rejected
The most common reasons - and how to stop making the same mistakes.
