So the challenge last time was to contact someone at BMI to find out what they have in regards to a Film and TV department and what that department can do for me in helping get my music on tv shows and into films. Update: I sent an email early yesterday morning to the one and only contact I have at BMI and am waiting for a response. We'll see if they're blowing me off. All right, one item checked off
Another challenge was to draft an email that I can send to Music Supervisors, asking them to add me to their email list when searching for music for their projects. Update: I have an email drafted. Now comes the hard part (for me anyway): sending the emails out. I think it's a pretty good email, but I don't know for sure, you know? Is it professional enough and will it do what it's intended to do? What I plan on doing is sending the emails, then following up with phone calls a few days or a week later.
The last challenge was to research local ad agencies about using my music in their projects. I procrastinated on this, but I did a quick Google search this morning on agencies in my own town only. I came up with four and put their contact information in a spreadsheet. I think that's a good amount to start with and perhaps get some feedback from them. To be honest, I don't know if this will bear any fruit or not, but it's something I thought of for Making Money with your Music so I'll let you know if it's worthwhile.
