46:37 - How NOT to Make Music Income...

In this week's "wicked" podcast, I speak with Randy McGravey, and we dig into what we have both found to be the absolute best way to find sync libraries to pitch music to and partner with.

So one of the things that fascinates so much that I take time to keep doing videos…is the numbers.

There has been a lot of hullaboo about the changes in the way Pond5, Motion Array, and Identifyy are paying the people who license their music through these places.

Change is inevitable, and this is especially true in the music business. In this video I talk about the changes in licensing and trends that I see that are changing my focus to make music income in 2025.

So it’s been a very interesting year in music licensing, but things have definitely changed for me. Most for the better and I’m going to share the numbers with you today.

It’s that time again! Time for Make Music Income’s Annual (or Semi-Annual) Fireside Chat! And Time for FREE Info and Software Tips!

It was quite a week last week, but I ended up with 15 amazing songs for my partners in licensing and artists I work for.
