Hi y’all. I’m a noob on sw101 as of today.
Originally I joined this page to read up on publishing. I’m a self-proclaimed and educated-- for the most part; I was a “band geek"-- songwriter/composer/producer/editor/videographer, blah, blah, blah.
I create music as the “backdrop for your exciting life.” Film, advertising, ambiance, video, whatever. I’m looking now to set up a publishing company for myself as well as affiliate myself with a performance rights org like SESAC or something. I’m open for suggestions.

Welcome to the campus of Songwriter101. You may want to check out www.taxi.com for the market for the kind of music you’re creating.

Thanks Gary. I’m actually considering robbing a seven eleven or two so I can afford to “join” the taxi service family. (JK LOL!)

Setting up your own music publishing company is not difficult.  (Marketing your product is)

Here’s a link to an article that might help:

Sesac charges upfront fees to the artist for PRO services.  BMI takes a cut when they collect royalties on your behalf.

Hey, nice Tele in your Soundclick pic!!

Thanks, dave, for the four-one-one and the compliment on my Blondie.
She’s ‘77 (FugiGen) Greco “Spacey Sounds” replica of the ’72 Thinline.
I’ve heard that SESAC is pretty good by a friend of mine when he used to publish his Gospel music. Any way I slice this cake, I’ll hafta get affiliated with somebody. Sounds like a Bob Dylan song, don’t it? ;p
