Project Freelance

Learn everything an artist or copyright owner should know about digital royalties, learn how to make money in music, and hear the secrets to songwriting success from this week's episode of Project Freelance, with my special guest Nicholas Mishko, creator of 10and8Management. This week's topic is money; specifically, where is the money in music? Is there a way to actually make a living at making music? Yes. Yes, there is. This episode is the perfect introduction to the business side of the industry and I feel that it contains vital information for success as a musician. With knowledge gained from working for years in the industry before creating 10 and 8 management, Mishko shares some of the secret tips he's learned. Where do you get your royalties from? How do you get paid for streams? What are ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC? Did you know that you have royalties just waiting for you to learn about them? Well, Mishko answers all of these questions. We talk about brand partnerships and how to approach brands and build relationships with them, the way Mishko has done with companies like Spirit Airlines, Vans, various wineries, and even a candy company or two.Check out Sound Exchange who collects and distributes digital performance royalties on your behalf at http://soundexchange.com Estimate your song's publishing royalties at http://Songtrust.com Enjoy this episode of Project Freelance and let me know what you think of the podcast by leaving a review and (5 star) rating.  Get Socialistic with Mishko: http://10and8management.com/ http://instagram.com/10and8management For classes/booking: http://justtheletterk.com/booking Read on to support the podcast!Get Socialistic with me: PUBLIC FACEBOOK GROUP:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/213571199185683/learning_content/ http://Twitter.com/projectfreelnce 

Jared has been designing and creating rings for several years now. It all started out as a romantic gift idea for Valentines day and unexpectedly became a majority of Jared's income. He comes from a construction family so working with the necessary machinery to produce his rings wasn't difficult for him to master. Because Jared spends so much time on the road, working remotely with his construction crew, he had to find a way to make his rings in hotel rooms without leaving a massive mess or disturbing other guests. He has trimmed down his gear to what he can easily carry on the road, which also minimises his space at home, which is also his office.

Jared's primary passion lies with wood rings, specifically bentwood rings. He has developed his own steam bending, inlaying, and finishing techniques to produce the sturdiest rings with intricate and unique designs.

"I love what I do and truly believe each and every ring that leaves my shop clearly expresses my dedication to the craft!"

In July 2018 I made a post on Instagram saying that I wanted to teach one-on-one classes with my listeners and readers, and I asked if anyone would be interested. On this week's episode of Project Freelance, I have a young photographer joining me. Her name is Nicole, and her user tag is @Kaoruphotography2019, and she reached out to me over Instagram about a photography project she had for a class in school. And since I have a lot of high schoolers that reach out to me about needing advice for their project, I figured that I might as well start with Nicole. I knew that I had to jump on board with this immediately, because I wish I had somebody there for me when I was stuck and had questions. In this episode we discussed Nicole’s project, what her goals are for that project, and how she can take her ideas and turn them into visual works of art. In order for me to help her I had her send me a set of photos she had taken so I could critique them, and I was absolutely tickled pink when I saw how talented this young photographer is. Click this link to see those photos: www.justtheletterk.com/single-post/advice-for-photography-students If you have a school project that you need help with, or would just like to pick another creator's brain, I highly recommend you reach out to me so we can set up a class of our own, and get you started on the right path to your dream job!! Follow Nicole on Instagram to keep up with her photography journey at http://Instagram.com/Kaoruphotography2019 For classes/booking: http://justtheletterk.com/booking Read on to support the podcast!Get Socialistic with me: PUBLIC FACEBOOK GROUP:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/213571199185683/learning_content/ http://Twitter.com/projectfreelnce

Lesson 1: Getting Your Music Discovered Worldwide

Check this out! My guest this week is Angelo, a fan from Paris! Angelo booked a skype lesson with me and it ended up turning into an amazing conversation about live music from the perspective of two people from across the world.

I wanted to ask Angelo how the music scene in Paris was and he wanted to get a better idea of what Warped Tour was all about.

Angelo and I discuss the end of Warped Tour and what that means for America.

This week on Project Freelance, I have Rian Cunningham, a Toronto native who produces and writes music. Rian actually flew down to California to meet up with me so we could work on a musical endeavour together. Rian has been playing and producing music since he was in high school, which allowed him to make plenty of mistakes and learn from them. His first show was with his high school band and that show went so well that they were invited to play a festival shortly after. Rian has always jumped at every musical opportunity, whether it be behind the screen producing or jumping around on stage.

Rian touches on some of his favorite software, plugins, presets, and favorite producers at the moment, so for those of you ABOUT TO ROCK Logic, you should definitely check this episode out.

Let’s talk about the law of attraction. You see, when you figure out the secrets to success you will be unstoppable. Our problem, as humans, is that we get so in our heads about the possibility of rejection that we talk ourselves out of taking risks. Instead of convincing yourself not to step outside of your comfort zone, embrace the discomfort, love it, and conquer it, because once you do become comfortable being uncomfortable, your confidence will skyrocket, which will help you grow your business, and personal, relationships. This is only one of the many "secrets" to success that I will be discussing in this episode with my incredibly talented guest, and friend, Nic Bradly, a life-coach, photographer, graphic designer, musician, and host of the Youtube show Welcome To The Good Life!
