MARKETING
YOUR SONGS:
Songwriters
Resource Network provides educational tools to help motivated songwriters
find success in the music business.
The
actual work of promoting your music and marketing your songs, however,
is up to you! No one is likely to undertake the demanding job of
marketing songs for songwriters who lack avbasic understanding of
how the music business works.
Songwriters
must be willing to market their own songs to be successful.
THE
BOTTOM LINE:
Talent
and developed songwriting skills are necessary to achieve success
as a songwriter, a lyricist or a music composer. In addition,
educating yourself on the music business, building a support
network, and learning ways to market your songs are equally important.
Take
time to look around this website. Study articles that relate to
your specific interests in songwriting. Learn about song publishing
and the music business. Take advantage of the many opportunities
to network with other songwriters, musicians,
lyricists and music composers.
Then
reach out to people who can help you. Find opportunities to show
your songs. Let people know your songwriting goals. Listen to suggestions.
Learn from feedback you receive.
If
you want to be a professional songwriter, invest as much time and
energy to songwriting as you would to any other profession. After
all, it's no easier to become a songwriter than it is to become
a teacher, mechanic, dental hygienist or pilot. Each requires applied
study, aptitude and commitment.
Finally,
whether you write songs for your own personal enjoyment or for professional
ambitions, your musical
voice and your songs are uniquely your own. Only you
can give them life.
"If
music be the food of love, play on." William Shakespeare
