And you come off as you don’t know anything but production music?.People receive benefits proportional to the effort they invest, similar to any other job.
I still think that you don't really know what sync is and how it works.
What's your alternative? Self-publish on Spotify, have family and friends maybe listen to your track once and make... ...nothing? I'm far from having explored all alternatives and understand how they work, so if you could maybe enlighten us with a concrete step-by-step strategy, that would be awesome.
People certainly do not always recieve benefit in proportion to the efforts they make. What kind of polyanna bs is that? You can work 24/7 without ever making any progress, many people do. When a super picks out tracks in a music library, she/ he / they chooses from thousands of tracks, and a lineup is maybe 5-10 - and often several libraries compete with their own lineup - and from those only one track from all the lineups gets the sync - you do the math of percentages of success. That’s a very common scenario, the market is oversaturated and oversold. I suggest publishing your stuff on streaming and build your fanbase, not because you neccesarily will make more money there (allthough, you might, again.. that is my experience), but because your artist brand increasingly matters for the supervisors who is selecting the lineups. Not for the average background tv sync (which is soon taken over by AI), but for the featured syncs in commercials, scores ect. that pays more than pennies.
I don’t have your recipe, you seem to have all the luck already. I’m not the one who gets passive-aggressive for trying to describe reality as it is.
So, again, roast me if it makes you happy. I think it’s important to counter all the current overselling of sync and the opportunities you can find there (especially music libraries), because many don’t find much pleasure in that pursuit. Thank you, but I’m not continuing this.
