The Pen Game Portfolio: Volume 2 (E-Book)
The Pen Game Portfolio was created for independent artists, songwriters, and producers to learn how to make money with their music without the assistance of a record label. Volume 2 of the series picks up where the first book left off while giving a more surgical breakdown of all the moving parts that make the music business flow. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your music in TV shows, movies, and advertisements, this is the book for you. I’ve even included the names of companies that I’ve worked with, so music creators can send demos out to them.
To take things even further, this edition of The Pen Game Portfolio goes in-depth about what artists should expect from potential managers, gives an overview of the various record deals that you might be faced with in the industry, offers the pros and cons of some of your favorite distribution platforms, and includes a comprehensive list of companies that are funding independent artists with upfront advances - without signing over your master ownership.
If you’re an artist that wants fame more than financial freedom - this is NOT the book for you. If you expect to make maximum profits while putting forth minimal effort - I’d suggest that you send this link to someone else. But if you’re self-motivated, tired of waiting on the industry to validate your work, and ready to take your destiny into your own hands - welcome to the party. Now let’s diversify your Pen Game Portfolio!
