how to make six figures a year (or more) Licensing music with Cathy Heller

3/4/2016

Yesterday I interviewed LA based singer/songwriter Cathy Heller. Cathy has had incredible success licensing her music in television and commercials. She’s a true DIY, Indie artist whose music has been heard on One Tree Hill, Pretty Little Liars, Switched At Birth and many more. She's had her music placed in commercials for Wal Mart, McDonalds, Special K and Hasboro, just to name a few.

She makes a full time living from licensing and has been featured in Variety, Billboard, LA Times, USA Today and more.

Cathy shares some amazing insights about how to license more of your tracks, in particular as it relates to the world of advertising and commercials.

Great job - thank you Aaron and Cathy. I can relate a lot to what cathy has shared. I wish i was further along with my song licensing success, as Cathy - but i love it too much to give up. So, I push on in hope that one or more of my songs finds a good home! Just need to find the key under the mat or above the door…to get that extra help! Ha. It's all good - it's music! Thx, Mark

I've written many many songs, and I never tried getting placement in ads or tv. "Why?" Just didn't know how to. This was informative and interesting, and will try to still get more info...

where do you look for a listing of agents to work your songs. Legitimate of course.
