How to learn specifics on business side of music?

[Sound Asleep]

- Pick a PRO
- Finish a song? Copyright it and publish it
- Find artists to record your songs.
You said you already joined SOCAN...they are moving towards the european model...they bought Medianet and Audiam, so they have started collecting performance royalties and mechanical royalties...so done
Depending on the location of the artist and their fans and as you save up money, you can consider whether to join other PROs or rely on SOCAN's ability to navigate the constantly evolving landscape of inter-PRO agreements, monitoring services, and publishing databases.
You want to share publishing with an artist?.. download a publishing contract template off the internet, customize it, pay an entertainment lawyer an hour to look it over.
You need artists?....verse-chorus.com, vocalizr.com, soundbetter.com, tribeofnoise.com, sonicbids.com, find-a-musician.com, fiverr.com,....and dozens more

never been easier...never had information more accessible

Sweet. That's amazing news about SOCAN. How did you come to know that? I'll check those sites out. Thanks.
