Any more no-audition music library sites?
Hi all,
I am making money selling my music on ProductionTrax.com and have recently uploaded everything to TuneSociety and Pond5 too, and wondered if anyone knows of any other no-audition type music library sites? Pond5 does have an approval process, but they've approved everything of mine so far! I tried contacting about 20 of the sites which require an audition, and in a month have only heard back from 1 of them, and they have a 50-track limit so might not do me much good. Any info on other places where I can freely upload good quality production-music (library music) to sell, would be appreciated! I have about 450 tracks (including edits) so far and intend to keep creating them! thanks Chris |

I can't imagine that being profitable but then again, I haven't tried it. My sister used royalty free all the time on her productions of continuing education video but she tells me she hardly pays anything for it. How does it work for you? |

I am making about $1 per year per track so far at ProductionTrax, no idea what the other two will earn . . . someone on another forum commented that Pond5 is the best of the bunch, so I am hoping sales will be better there. I work fast (8 new tracks (including edits) a day, part-time,), and enjoy the word so it's worthwhile for me. My tracks vary between $30 and $70, of which I get somewhere between 50% and 75%. I am getting consistant sales on ProductionTrax, and hope the other two sites will work for me too. If I could find more similar sites to upload to, I'd be doing even better! Chris |

Chris Thanks for the accounting on those. I've wondered for a long time. It is not something I really care to do but I do have an idea of what you might do to find more of it. I googled royalty free music and got 3000+ hits. Each one of those companies sell the discs so I'd bet you could go to each of them to solicit. Licensing direct is not that hard. If you find yourself in the mood, look up your local advertising companies in the area you are in and give them a call. There are always a bunch of people that need music and if you can really crank it out, you'll do great. The money is next to nothing compared to 25 years ago but there is still enough to put beer in the frig of your boat if you do it right. Good luck to you and thanks again. |

I have worked for a government agency which, every twenty years or so, hires a bunch of musicians to come down and do a session and record a bunch of production music for them. It's all "original music" but it's also effectively free for them to use indefinitely with no needle-drop fees. I'm surprised more production folks don't do this since it seems to avoid the stigma of having the same background theme that the customer just heard on a Viagra commercial, while not actually costing that much in the long run. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I've seen places that are pulling in seriously big bucks that are on the brink of bankruptcy. There is something universal about it that seems to make spending on bling bling easy and spending on the future not even a thought. |
