EP 169.Sync Partners Triggered My 2nd Biggest BMI Payday! Q4 BMI Statement Numbers and Trends
About this episode
Eric Copeland discusses his recent BMI payment and the dynamics of music royalties and partnerships.
I just received my 2nd highest BMI check ever. But here’s the twist: Barely one single song payment made up more than 10% of it, and I didn't even own 100% of many of the songs I was paid. So today I want to share some things about * How I am getting paid from my PRO (BMI) * What kinds of things are paying me, and how much (spoiler alert: it’s not Netflix!) * All the royalties I am only receiving a piece of because of all the composers, artists, and songwriters I work with in my Positive Spin Partners program * …and why that’s actually a good thing! * And the math of scaling by not trying to do everything myself WORK WITH ERIC ON YOUR SYNC CAREER: Work directly with composer and producer Eric Copeland and his sync production company Positive Spin Songs to develop albums of music for pitching to sync licensing for TV, Film, Ads, and Gaming.
