How to Start a Song Writing Business

There are many big names in the music industry that we have all heard that gave us the most popular and memorable songs. Usually you would think that they are the ones composing those songs. Think again.

If you have the gift of writing songs then this is the best way to start you song writing business.

How Will You Start?

It is already a given fact that song writers are also musicians. It does not mean that they do not play instruments or they do not really sing that well, they are not musicians. Remember that they are the ones who give off the words in a song. But think about this, if you are really serious about this song writing business, it is best for you to learn how to play at least a piano, guitar or the drums. This will definitely help you not just to write the lyrics of the song but also put some melody into it. This is as if you are hitting two birds with one stone. Your clients would be very pleased if you supply them with a composition which already has a melody. This would be your biggest asset against other song writers. You do not need to write songs for the big stars only. Most of the time, those artists who are just starting in the music scene are the ones who needs your talent to bring them to the limelight of the music industry. You can also compose songs for movies or television series. Be able to select a niche and start your song writing business.

Costs

There is a need for you to invest on this type of business before you can even feel that it is already earning. In order for you to attract potential clients, you should make demo CD’s that you will distribute to different music, television and movie companies. You can also make your outsource. The good thing about creating your own outsource is that you will mark your own style and image. All you have to do is to have a state of the art computer that has a high speed internet access. The average amount you need to have is $10,000 as a capital in this type of business.

The Skills

You have to be musically inclined to be successful in this business. Having an ear for music will make you be lined with the noted and known song writers across the globe. To be able to sell you songs, you need to sell yourself. With enough confidence and a little bit more of creativity to get yourself in the door and get the right listeners to listen to you. You have to be passionate and dedicated to be able to focus on this type of business.

Having inspiration is also good since this will help you make good compositions. Just make sure that you won’t get to a point that this inspiration you are talking about would not distract you. Market your works by advertising in music trade magazines and other local newspaper. You may also showcase your composition in a website. This would really attract clients in no time.
