TV/Film Placement

In addition to 99 cent downloads, more than ever we are looking to film and TV for a song placement. If we are successful there, it means instant recognition for our song and for ourself as an artist, not to mention the money paid for the license and the back end performance royalties generated. Here are three internet sources:
Taxi: Billed as the world’s leading A&R company, Taxi works to pair its members with music industry professionals, hopefully resulting in label deals or song placements. It costs about $300/year to join and they charge a fee every time you want to submit one of your songs for an industry event or media placement.
Broadjam: Networking site dedicated to indie music. Song of the month/lyric of the month contests with cash prizes. Can sell downloads on site. Broadjam charges $.19 per $.99 download (20%). There are opportunities listed to place your music with film/TV projects on a reasonable flat fee per song basis.
Rumblefish: Music licensing site that acts as broker for music supervisors seeking music for film and TV. You retain all rights and performance royalties. Rumblefish gets 50% of the net licensing fees. It’s non-exclusive with a one-year term and no submission fees.
