Eric Beall's "Making Music Make Money" -- A Must Read
Publishing is a facet of the music industry that is often hard to understand. Eric Beall's book, "Making Music Make Money" is a great guide to help one understand music publishing, how to become your own publisher, and more importantly, how to make money.
If you are serious about entering the music business buy this book
This book has it all. It is easy to follow but full of detail. I bought the book after reading the author's blog. Funny coincidence that it ended up being compulsory reading for Music Publishing 101 at Berklee Music. If you are a songwriter or composer starting out in the business or already in it, but needing to step up, I strongly recommend buying this book.
 Covers the basics very well
This book covered all the basics and clearly explained the business of publishing your own work. Although he gave estimates of the percentages expected for the various sources of income I would have liked to have seen more specific examples such as sample contracts highlighting the critical terms and conditions.
All in all I learned a lot about the business and feel prepared to ask the right questions when the time comes to publish my own songs.
Excellent guide to successfully publishing your own music!
If you're a songwriter or composer with a growing collection of marketable songs, you'll want to read this book and learn the best way to get AND stay in the music business. You'll learn that the best way to get "signed" with a great publisher is simply to become one. This important point is covered in the first chapter so you won't miss anything.
Read it carefully, take good notes and apply the basic principles. You'll be glad you did and you'll be on the way to becoming your own "best" music publisher! If you have quality material you'll be in a strong position to negotiate licensing deals for your songs while keeping full control of your own publishing. This is especially important if you're producing "hit" material whose value will increase over time.
As a self-published music composer and producer I can tell you that this book, "Making Music Make Money", has really helped me apply and understand the things I've been doing with my own music publishing and licensing ventures. Don't sell yourself short, learn how to copyright, publish and license your own music. This book will show you how and save you years of trouble and wasted time. Publish your own music and join the new Music Biz 2.0!
Great ideas for self-promoting musicians
Great ideas for starting your own publishing company, but the book is more focused on the song plugger. A better book for publishing company start-up is "Start & Run Your Own Record Label," by Daylle Schwartz.
