! The music industry consists of companies and individuals who work with artists to help them turn what they do into money.
! Most music companies specialise in one music revenue stream.
! This means the wider industry can be split up, commonly…
! Those which work in music rights v those that work in live.
! Those which exploit recording rights v those which exploit song rights.
! Artists usually have relationships with multiple companies, doing a different deal for each of their revenue streams.

! An artist (via management) will look to do deals with a number of business partners, each based around a different revenue stream.
! With new artists, key business partners will have to work for free, on the promise of a cut of future revenue.
! Labels and publishers will also ask for copyright ownership.
! But even when partners work for free, the artist still needs someone to invest upfront cash: to cover their living costs and pay for a big launch marketing campaign.
! Traditionally the label provides this investment, in return for ownership of sound recordings (at least) and some control over strategy.

STARTING YOUR CONTENT BUSINESS
! Make recordings of some of your songs – quality over quantity.
! Easier when you are recording your own songs rather than covers (for covers you need to license the song rights, usually via PRS/MCPS).
Use Music Glue, Bandcamp etc to sell downloads direct.
Use a distributor to get your content to iTunes, Spotify etc.
Maybe look into a short run of CDs to sell online and, mainly, at gigs?
Join PRS and PPL and log songs and recordings (or for PRS, use Sentric Music).

STARTING YOUR LIVE BUSINESS
! Getting gigs can be tricky.
! Look for open mic opportunities, maybe stage your own nights.
! Approach gig nights and smaller venues that have staged similar acts, send personalised emails linking to Soundcloud/YouTube.
! Upload music to BBC Introducing, and apply for new band stages at genre relevant festivals.
When asked to play, get into the habit of always asking if there is a fee or expenses.
Make sure you are in PRS and log your gigs to get your song royalties (Sentric can help).

STARTING YOUR FAN BUSINESS
! Gigging will not be especially profitable at first.
! It’s an opportunity to build fanbase, make sure you encourage your audience to sign up (offer a free track for email address).
! Then get fans to connect by Facebook, Twitter etc.
! But also set up a website (Wordpress is good for this) and email list (Mailchimp is the best) – this is really important.
Use Music Glue, Bandcamp etc to have a commercial side to your site – sell some tracks, look into print on demand merch.
Once you have a small engaged fanbase, maybe look into PledgeMusic to enable bigger projects via pre-orders.
