Selling your music as soundtracks for film and Television



Have you considered selling your material as a soundtrack for film or television?
There are companies out there that will purchase good quality royalty free music for use in advertisements, film, documentaries etc.

I discovered Production Trax and thought it looked interesting and a possible outlet.
There is a setup fee (one time) of $9.95 to cover hosting.
Here's some of the blurb I copied from the site:

Sell Your Digital Content Online
Royalty Free Music, Sound Effects, Stock Footage, & Photos

Productiontrax.com is the online home for some of the world's leading composers of production music and sound effects, as well as video and film producers, and photographers. Create a contributor account and sell your production music, stock footage, sound effects, or photos for royalty free use in film, television, video games, live performances, and other multimedia projects.

Might be worth taking a closer look.

Promote your music with your own virtual TV station.


Want some powerful online tools for DIY promotion?
I have been experimenting with the Helloworld suite of products after opening an account last year and I have come to the conclusion that this is an amazing toolbox for any musician serious about promoting their music with streaming video.
I have recently posted material on their online TV station which is already generating a flow of good traffic and puts me in the running to win prizes and a spot on national TV.
Some musicians are also opting for broadcasting their live shows.
You can also podcast, videoblog and send streaming video via email which is guaranteed to get attention (and you can easily add video to your website - All the coding is done for you).
What I really love is the creativity I have with these tools and their ease of use.
While YouTube and Myspace have their place (I have used both) I think the old saying "You get what you pay for" is true.
For less than the price of a movie and burger per month I can have the same tools available to the big players which levels the playing field.
Move over commercial TV, the indies are coming....
