Hope this helps delineate the differences between Stock Music Licensing and Sync Licensing. They are both great ways to license your music. Let me know your thoughts and questions.

Going through all your podcast episodes, just wanted to say thanks! I’m making dozens of notes, as your content sounds almost illegal to know 😅

Hi , Thanks, great explaination, however, what about if I write a demo song, but would like to sell the melody only, it is Sync Licensing?

[@MakeMusicIncome]

No, Sync Libraries want finished masters. The competition and quality is fierce in this business. They have no time to develop demos.

great video, thanks!

Thank you for watching!

[@ehsawnjafari]

Hi thanks for the information you share in this channel, it helps a lot, I wonder for someone who doesn't have a PRO, which library is the best to work with and make income?

[@MakeMusicIncome]

Well, I do not advocating NOT being with a PRO. But if you are not and have a good catalog, someplace like Epidemic Sound may be looking for you.

[@TonyThomas10000]

What kind of libraries are used for temp music for films?

[@MakeMusicIncome]

Usually well known songs that are too expensive to really use, so they then they go find other songs to use instead.

[@atksounds]

I just finished an instrumental that was meant for my stock music catalogue but it ended up sounding like something I'd pitch to sync libraries (non-exclusive); almost like a hybrid, lol. Can I do both? Sell it as stock music AND pitch it to non-exclusive sync libraries? Love your content, btw. Thank you!

[@MakeMusicIncome]

Absolutely You can also sell any non-exclusive things you make at Spotify, iTunes, etc. Good luck with it!

[@atksounds]

@@MakeMusicIncome Yay, thanks so much for the advice! 🙌

[@MakeMusicIncome]

Thanks for watching!

[@TikToktemptress]

Do you still copyright the song for stock music licensing?

[@MakeMusicIncome]

I usually don’t copyright all songs but I do register them with my PRO.

[@TikToktemptress]

@@MakeMusicIncome do you have a system checklist for this process? preparing to release stock music?

[@MakeMusicIncome]

Not specifically for stock, but it’s a great idea. I’ll think on it!
