The Pen Game Portfolio: How to Monetize Your Music as an Independent Artist
The Pen Game Portfolio is a handbook made specifically for independent musicians ready to learn the business of music and earn more money from your talent. From music publishing, royalty collection, the world of sync licensing in TV & Film, to offering valuable services to other artists - you'll be equipped to turn your talent into a full scale business. There are a lot of music marketing ads misleading artists to believe that streaming and social media promotion are the best ways to make money from music, and that’s just not true. After 10 years+ of pushing records digitally, having independent label deals, and landing major sync placements on Netflix, ABC, Hulu, MTV, VH1, etc. I felt it was about time I offered some valuable insight that can truly change lives.
