MARKETING
YOUR SONGS:
Songwriters
Resource Network provides educational tools to help talented, motivated
songwriters find success in the music business.
The
actual work of promoting your music and marketing your songs, however,
is up to you.
Nobody
is likely to undertake the demanding job of marketing songs for
songwriters who lack basic understanding of how the music business
works. Songwriters must be willing to market their own songs to
be successful.
THE
BOTTOM LINE:
Talent
and skills are necessary to achieve success as a songwriter, a lyricist
or a music composer. However, educating yourself
about the music business, building a support network and
learning to market your songs are equally important.
Look
around this website. Study articles that relate to your specific
interests in song writing. Learn about music publishing and the
music business. Find opportunities to network with other songwriters,
musicians, lyricists and music composers.
Reach
out to people who can help you. Create opportunities to show your
work. Let people know your song writing goals. Listen to suggestions
and learn from feedback you receive.
To
become a professional songwriter, devote 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,
car mechanic, dental hygienist or pilot. Each requires applied study,
aptitude and commitment.
Finally,
whether you write songs for personal enjoyment or professional ambition,
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
