You missed your chance. In order to provide the best opportunities for our members, KR Tip Sheet takes only a limited number of subscribers. And right now, we're all filled up. Right now, musicians just like you are inside, taking advantage of our listings and getting their music directly in the hands of major labels, film/TV companies, and others who are looking for it. And right now, you're losing money...with a great song that isn't being heard by the right people. But there is hope... Get on our waiting list. If something opens up, we'll let you know.
Hi. My name is David Hooper. You may know me from my music and promotion company, Kathode Ray Music, or my nationally syndicated talk radio show, Music Business Radio. Let me ask you a question: If I could give you a way that would allow you to get directly connected with people who are looking for new music now -- would you be willing to spend a few minutes each month to go through the information, send out a few press kits, and do followup work? Of course you would! Especially if the contacts were top notch people with good paying offers that you wanted to get involved with. And that's what KR Tip Sheet gives you... Monthly listings which will let you connect directly with people who are looking for new music... your music. Now, before you get too excited, I must warn you, KR Tip Sheet is not for everybody. If you don't have good songs (or what people are looking for), all the contacts in the world won't help you. If you do have good material though, KR Tip Sheet will be the catalyst for your music licensing career. I'm talking about film/TV music supervisors, record labels, publishing companies, and managers. If you've ever used Taxi, you know what I'm talking about. However, there is a big difference between KR Tip Sheet and Taxi though... I supply you with direct contact information. That means you're going to get listings from me...and then I'm out of the equation. You'll be able to get directly in touch with the people who are looking to use your music without a screening committee. Now don't get me wrong, I think that filters in the music industry are good and there's NOTHING wrong with something like that. Plenty of people have been served well by Taxi. I just believe that if you're a customer of mine, you know enough about the music business that you can filter yourself. If your music isn't a match, it would be a waste of your time and money to send it in, right? Now let me take a minute and tell you... "Why I Started KR Tip Sheet..." When I first got started in the music business, I had almost no connections in the industry. I was just another kid in college, working at internships and trying to make things happen for myself. Somebody once told me that the real money in the music business is in publishing, but that only happens when your songs are cut, used in film, put on television, or otherwise made use of. So I started my own publishing company and put out compilation CDs featuring the songs that I owned "publishing" on. I knew I wouldn't be able to fill up an entire CD with great music on my own. I also knew that pressing a CD was going to be the same cost to me regardless if it had 30 minutes of just my music on there or 74 minutes of my music combined with other people's music. So I started letting other people on my compilations if they'd share the cost of pressing with me. I'd then send the music out to my slowly growing list of music industry connections including radio stations, record labels, film/TV music supervisors, managers, booking agents, and others. And to my amazement, people actually started listening to those CDs. Remember that song called "Sex and Candy" by a band called Marcy Playground? We had it on one of our discs over a year before it took off. "And then a funny thing happened..." I started getting calls from people at television networks and major film studios wanting to license the music on my CDs...but a lot of it wasn't really "my" music; it was from the other people that helped me split the cost of the promotion. Most of the guys I put on the CDs with were just like me in that we didn't know a lot about the music business. But I was better off than the majority in that I actually have a degree in commercial music, so people started asking me, "Hey, David, would you mind brokering this deal for us?" So I did... And my connections in the business of music placement grew. Within a few years, I had friends at all the major cable networks and was dealing with dozens of independent film makers and others who needed music on a regular basis. When they needed something, they'd call me, and I'd get them hooked up. And that leads me to... "Where I am today." At the beginning of this letter, I talked to you a bit about my talk radio show, Music Business Radio, and also my music consulting company, Kathode Ray Music. What I didn't mention is the other projects that have kept me busy such as writing several books on the music business, my schedule of speaking engagements, and music promotion consulting for clients ranging from small garage groups to multi-platinum superstars. But even with that success, I still love the feeling of licensing a song to a major television show and knowing that millions of people are listening to it. I never take that for granted. And I love the feeling of getting a big royalty check for a job well done. That's why I started KR Tip Sheet. "I wanted to..."
And guess what…IT'S WORKING! "The music industry loves KR Tip Sheet..."
"And Take a Look at What Some of My Subscribers Say
"Understand that these people are just like you..." The folks we work with are all ordinary people who want what you want... they want to get their songs heard, they want to sell records, they want to get their music published, and they want to make money in the music business. I've been there. It wasn't that long ago that I was right there with them. I was sitting in my small apartment, working with my girlfriend to pack, sort, and mail hundreds of my compilation CDs, and hoping that I'd somehow get just one of those CDs into the hands of the right person. It wasn't that long ago when I wasn't making a living in the music business and was working odd jobs such as delivering packages for UPS and telling fortunes on Miss Cleo's Psychic Line. I know how bad you want this. And I want to give you as much control over your career as possible. That's why KR Tip Sheet has all the information you need to place your songs. Now, a word of warning... "KR Tip Sheet is not for everybody. In fact, it may not be for you." Here's what I mean... I've had success placing music in film, television, and other projects because I have the songs music supervisors (and others) are looking for and I deal with writers and producers who are flexible and non ego-driven. In other words, they're not married to their songs. If the person looking to license the song wants something changed, my guys will change it so that it fits. Think of it this way... If I'm vegetarian, I'm not going to eat at your restaurant if all you can make is a steak. If I'm looking for a salad, you better be able to provide me with a salad if you want my business. So my question for you is... "Are you ready for this?" What I mean is, are you ready to get direct contact information of people who are interested in licensing new music? Is your music ready? Are your songwriting skills ready? Are your lyric writing skills sharp enough? My point is, there are no "filters" and it'll be up to you to filter yourself. Just because you can send to every listing I give you doesn't mean you should. I'm going to leave it up to you to be wise and use your best judgement to decide whether your material is ready for prime time. After all, I'm not the one who makes the call whether to use your stuff... so why should I have anything to do with the process? Just promise me this... Promise you won't come complaining to me in the event that nobody buys what you're selling. It's not my job to get your stuff sold, placed, or licensed. My job is to get you connected with people who are looking for good quality songs, good quality recordings, and good quality acts. I can't promise they're going to like or even want what you've got; I can only promise to get you connected to the right people... the people who are looking for new music. "And that's what I'll do..." I’ve shown you unequivocally that I can deliver on that promise. And I've also shown you the first-rate credentials and the rave reviews that KR Tip Sheet has received -- now it’s time for you to... "Ask yourself if you're ready..." If you've got quality material and you're ready to take your music career to the next level, I'm ready to get you connected. You may have used similar services like New on the Charts, RowFax, and Songlink in the past. But those guys are for publishing companies and writers who have already had success. These things aren't put out for the new guys, upcoming songwriters and musicians who are looking to get their stuff licensed or published. That's the unique advantage you get with KR Tip Sheet. You get opportunities for placement that you really can get. And those guys cost a fortune to subscribe to. Heck. cruise over to their web sites and you'll see what I mean. You can't subscribe to a good tip sheet for under $250.00/year. Some tip sheets I have seen are as high as $140.00 per issue! And until KR Tip Sheet, if you were a struggling musician and didn't have that kind of money... you were flat out of luck. KR Tip Sheet has broken the price barrier and made this information available at a reasonable price that an independent musician can afford for the first time ever. The KR Tip Sheet Could Be the Spark that Ignites Your Music Business Career...But You'll Never Know Unless You Try it TODAY! So now you must be thinking, "How much is this going to cost me?" Well that's the great news... Normally, a tip sheet subscription would run you at least $250.00/year and you'd get your listings via postal mail each month. Forget that though. If you're anything like I was, you probably don't have even that kind of money. And if you're anything like I was, you're looking for a break. So let me give you that break. Right now , I'm going to get you hooked up on KR Tip Sheet for only $ If you like it, great. I'll get you a new edition each month for the same low price. Don't like it? Not a problem. It's not for everybody and you can cancel at any time. And I'm going to get you the information delivered instantly via the Web, so you can hit these listings while they're hot rather than waiting up to two weeks for for mail to be delivered. By the time you get listings that way, everybody else and their dog has already submitted and you won't have a chance! In other words, you'll have instant access to the most updated listings of people looking for new music 24 hours per day, 7 days a week and that begins within seconds of your order. That's right...for just a few bucks a month, you get fresh, newly updated listings of companies looking for film music, labels looking for artists, management companies looking for new acts, and more... Look, you probably spend $15/month at McDonald's, or blow that much on pizza and beer. That kind of money is nothing for the kind of contacts, the kind of insider information you'll be getting from me. These are all people who are looking, right now. They're actively looking for music to use. And it might was well be your music. Now if you're not ready, that's fine. If you don't have demos recorded or lyrics written, that's fine. If you're just not there, that's fine. Don't sign up because this isn't for you right now. Just bookmark this page and come back when you're ready. I'll be here... I can't promise the price will be the same, but I've been around since 1995 and I'm not going anywhere. My point is this. For fifteen lousy bucks a month, you're going to get a treasure trove of inside industry contacts who are foaming at the mouth to find the right music for their projects...and it could be your music. If you have an ounce of talent and an ounce of energy to spend putting a package together to send to these people, this could be your chance to make some money with your music. What more do you want? How bad do you want it? Do you really, honest-to-goodness ache to make money with your music? If so, this is your chance. There is nothing that will bring more joy to your life than to actually license your song, get royalties from it, and have your song heard by millions of people. It's an amazing feeling. Lots of people have the talent, but have never been given the opportunity. Well, I'm giving you that opportunity...and it's just pennies per day. "If somebody bites, you could easily make 1000x your investment..." Don't you owe it to yourself to to give KR Tip Sheet a try? If you've got music ready, give it a try for a couple of months. New requests come in all the time, you'll be out just a few bucks, and at least you'll know if people are interested in what you have to offer. If you don't try it, you'll never know.
The indies needed something for music licensing...
PS- Just give KR Tip Sheet a try. It won't cost you a dime and could be the catalyst for you to earn a lot of money with your music.
