Sell Your Songs on Song Writer 101

For those of you that produce music, write lyrics or compose songs �?? Song Writer 101 is the one website online that can connect you will all of the information that you need regarding songs and song writing. Artists, lyricists and composers are all paid through song royalties and residual income. If you have the talent and creativity, you too might be able to get your music into the right hands.

The Song Writer 101 website provides visitors with articles, news, media and books that you can purchase about the music industry. But the most important section of the Song Writer 101 website is the forum. In this forum you will find endless opportunities to collaborate discuss and post your lyrics and get valuable feedback from Song Writer 101 members.

If you do post your lyrics for feedback �?? be sure they are registered with a free service like BMI or other song copyrighting agency. This forum is a place where lyricists find composers and composers make connections with producers �?? it is an great networking tool for the music industry.

I wrote some country songs a while back and I got some amazing feedback, I was even able to find some musicians in Nashville who were interested in composing my songs. (Don�??t laugh at me liking country music �?? I did live in the South for 9 years!)

If you write lyrics and someone else composes them �?? typically a 50/50 split is posted on the website where your register your song. (such as BMI) In other words, if a song begins to earn royalties the lyricist and the composer would split the royalties.

Everyone that I talked to on SongWriter101 has told me that it is much easier to get a song sold that is complete with lyrics and music. Selling lyrics by themselves is a tough thing to try and do, unless they were very strong lyrics.

I believe the current rate for royalty payments is 9.1 cents for each purchase or download of the song �?? I am not sure if royalties are paid for radio play. Does anyone reading this post know the answer to this? All in all, selling your songs and music is an excellent way to earn residual income if you have the talent.

Sorry – wish I knew someone in the music industry. I have two songs that I have written – I’ve had no luck finding someone to produce them!

You may be able to find artists looking for lyrics on Craigslist. When I wanted to get my songs produced, I put an ad on Craigslist in Nashville. (Since they were country songs.) Good luck!

Most song writers will write the lyrics and then produce the music to go along with it. This is the easy part. Getting your song in the right hands is the tough part. But nowadays, many artists have gained a following on YouTube. Why not produce a video of you singing your song and see what kind of feedback you get? Songwriters get a percentage of the sale of the song – I think it amounts to about .8 cents on the dollar. Good luck!

I have written about eight songs and each song comes with its own tune. A few of my friends have heard me singing them and asked who had sung them or where i heard the song. They actually thought that they were professional songs!! When i told them i wrote them myself they seemed amazed. So the point is i feel these songs could be great if i could get them out there but im broke and do not know any one in the music buisness. =( I have no way of getting to a record studio and have no means of producing a video to put on youtube or any other sites.
