JaWar Answers Music Business Questions

Many of you have asked similar music business questions so I'd thought it would be great to post my response from a reader of the Music Industry Connection Book Series.

CLIENT:
Hey, Maybe you can answer my questions online... I just wanted to know about how long is the norm for a request to be received from a [music] publishing company? Meaning to use the melody or sample...

JAWAR'S RESPONSE:
There is no norm. The factors to the turn around time are many. Who you are, who you know, who knows you, the size of the [music] publishing company, how much money you've made them, how much money they think you're going to make them. They are dealing with businesses everyday that they make money with, that they have a relationship with. Your questions and you come after a long list of businesses and people that have a long-standing inroad with the [music] publisher.

When you are ready to start with consulting sessions I will share detailed information with you on how to position yourself to make money in the music business without having to have a major label placement.

CLIENT:
I have been waiting almost three months now, but they told me that it would be no longer or at least thirty days. (publishing co.) Whenever I call the company they continue to tell me, "Well we haven't received anything yet." "But the good thing is that they haven't said no."

JAWAR'S RESPONSE:
The richest man in the world asked a college student with very little money if he would like to work for him for the next 20 years FOR FREE? The Rich Man was/is Andre Carnegie the college student was/is Napoleon Hill the author of Think and Grow Rich. Think and Grow Rich is the modern blueprint for the Personal Achievement/Self-Motivation Movement.

I guess that the best thing to do is to continue to be patient huh?

JAWAR'S RESPONSE:
THINK, PLAN, EXECUTE!
