    It’s funny that music is the one thing in the universe that our society seems to think should be free (at least for independent artists/producers). People will spend money on ugly sweaters, dog clothing, locks of celebrity’s hair, and other useless things, but music that effects and benefits everybody, somehow should be free??! Spotify and other streaming services already attempt to devalue independent music to the point where artist make less than people busking on the streets. But thank God, guys like you exist! You are showing us indie producers that our time and talent isn’t a worthless commodity, and that we can actually make a decent living off of this stuff!
    Thanks for all your videos man, you’re providing a awesome service!

    I actually can’t believe you’ve been compelled to have to explain and justify earning money in exchange for the HUGE value you give to your fellow creatives!! Reading the comments, I know I am not alone in feeling great gratitude and appreciation for your help & advice. Hopefully those who prompted you to make this video will watch it and begin to understand how life and business works! Bless you! 😊

    Man, you don't have to explain what is so easy for someone with some brains to understand!
    If there are people out there that thinks that you HAVE to give your expertise FOR FREE, which meansYOUR TIME-MONEY-A LOOOOT OF WORK, than ...we are talking about arrogant, ungrateful and stupid people!
    We can only thank you for providing all these info and that's not even enough!
    Go ahead and do your thing! We are right beside you!

    I for one am glad this is on here! Thank you Jesse. I have been on this journey for a little while now. Here is some of what I have run into. There are many people saying that Sync Licensing of music is the holy grail. However, I found many people spending alot of time teaching it and trying to get everyone to buy their teaching. Before you tell me that's exactly what's going on here, let me just say that even though I don't have any placements yet, I know that this is hard work. This is what Jesse, is always saying - this work is hard but, here are some tools - the videos have examples and valuable information both business and practice. It's on me to do what I need to do to be successful. People come to me and say Man you have been at this awhile - what have you accomplished? My biggest problem is I have music ready but, it wasn't ready for sync yet. So, I am getting it ready (reformatting, recreating and creating) and putting in the work. I have been looking at some libraries (googling). Many want to charge you just to listen to your song $ 5 or $ 75 to $ 300 & $ 500 (not even a submission). If I went that route, I'd really be broke and no further successful. At least with Sync My Music, I am getting valuable content that I can use right now - and you are too via RUclips.

    Realest dude in the game. No sugar coating, just hard and fast facts and advice. I found your channel in March of this year, had zero experience with sync licensing, I watch all of your videos with all this priceless advice which, may I remind everyone outside of the Sync Academy, is free to us who can't so much afford the extra financial effort to join. Since March, I've learned crazy valuable advice and info from you, just a regular guy, standing in his bedroom studio with no fancy cameras or lights or weird angles / obnoxious fast paced all over the place dialogue, and let me tell you, Jesse is the real deal. Ive learned tips on how to contact people, which by the way is alone in itself a super important part of the game, how to be a better producer and use my DAW to make my tracks pop more etc and the list goes on. I currently have over 10 tracks "being used in projects", with a non-exclusive library, and I signed a contract with an EXCLUSIVE library who actually CALLED me on the phone, who I talk to every day now, who I send music to constantly throughout the week, they critique my tracks, ask me to make a couple minor adjustments on edits, and then they find a place for them in their library. The momentum is gaining for me and I've only been doing this since March of this year. None of it would have happened if I hadn't seen Jesse's FREE video that led to a whole other gold mine of advice on his FREE youtube channel. The people that complain or comment with negativity here are probably the people that don't wanna hustle and put in the work. For those that do, this RUclips channel is a PRICELESS vault of information for producers who want to make a living with music. THANK YOU JESSE YOU ARE THE BEST!!

    Good stuff as always.
    I have a relatively good musical background. And I've been on this path, learning about producing and sync licensing for 2 years now. Hey, I'm grateful for all the knowledge, techniques, and experience that Jesse and his colleagues have provided in these videos, and through Sync Academy and Sync Edge. I'm very aware of my deficiencies, and grateful for them too because they show me exactly where I need to focus my efforts.
    I also know that if what I produce is wack, I could know everything else but no library will want my wack music.
    So if you think you're missing something or want something you don't have, just focus on it and learn from anywhere you can. You'll get it when you're ready.

    And another thing: Sometimes, when your not "getting it", when you just you know you're ready and something pops up that seems to block your progress, it means that there's still something you need to learn, or that you're overlooking, or dismissing as an unnecessary step when it's really crucial. Nobody gets a black belt in karate without getting the previous belts first. Don't even try it.

    I completely agree with your response. If you're providing value to someone (whether its from your music, your list of researched Sync libraries, knowledge about approaching the sync industry, ...) it's worth something and should be paid for. If people expect to get valuable industry information, guidance, advice, ... for free then I have to turn that question around and ask why they're not willing to invest in their own music career. Do they expect their doctor, accountant, career counselor to also provide their knowledge and guidance for free in the same way? Probably not.

    Another reason paying for value is important is so people seriously consider what they are getting and take action on it. It's true that getting things for free can be treated like it's garbage and the real value never manifests itself because there was no sacrifice.

    I appreciate all of your videos and even though I haven’t paid for your classes YET, I find your content extremely valuable and agree with you 100% that what you provide has value and you should get compensated for the work and products you provide.
    I would never expect anything that you provide to be given away for free. I think you’re amazing, giving people as much information as you give for free.
    Everyone loves the idea of a shortcut, or a lucrative career handed to them on a silver platter. That’s just not the way “value” works.
    I’ll continue to watch and like and share your content, because what you already give away for free is extremely valuable (expensive) insight.
    Everything else that you are providing is figuratively GOLD (not fools gold), and shouldn’t be given away for free.
    Basically, you’re providing (through your services) LEADS for people who won’t spend years obtaining or building their own leads, and that is extremely generous!
    If they can’t see that, hard to say, they have no business working for themselves because they don’t have the right business mentality.

    Interesting. I just getting back into music after a long break. I've sold a lot of paintings and people always ask me, "how do you sell your art?" and there is no one simple answer. each artist will find a different audience. But I have a question and hopefully this is not annoying. Will music libraries even be interested in music if it was already put out on RUclips, Soundcloud, Spotify ect? Are you better off holding that music private before submitting to libraries?

    • @SyncMyMusic

    I just want to ask. Is all your recommended libraries exclusive? Because non exclusive ones are not really promoting you! Also how many out of the 300 are for indie rock? And most importantly out of that how many of them are for film & tv?

    • @SyncMyMusic
      @SyncMyMusic  5 лет назад

      My directory contains exclusive & non-exclusive companies, but some non-exclusive libraries WILL push your music (I've personally done well with a few NE's in my career). And most Libraries will have a need for Indie Rock (it's a very licensable style), but you just need to make sure that your tracks are on par with what they currently have in their catalogue.

    • @katerinapanopoulou
      @katerinapanopoulou 5 лет назад

      Thanks for replying so quickly! I have an album and an Ep to start with and I am mostly interested in getting placements for film and tv. So I was thinking to find 2 libraries, one for each and when I get a placement -meaning make some money- record more content. I prefer to work on a exclusive deal because if I upload songs on many different non exclusive ones then the supervisors end up having different prices for same song and sometimes with different names for each song and that does not make them happy.

Those people are not fans of yours and nor do they seek knowledge. Thats their problem. Nothing will ever be good enough for people with that mentality. Its not 1990 anymore. Everyone has access to the music industry now. Even big named artists will seek out the underdog so dont use that as an excuse. You can be a millionaire and give someone like that a million dollars and it'll never be enough for them people because they expect the world to take care of them and do stuff for them. I do not like that kind of energy at all! Besides you can lie to them about whatever library you use. This is what happens when you put you're "fate" in someone else's hand.
