Everything You Need To Know About Publishing... In 12 Minutes! | Producergrind Clips 

Dude dropped some real gems here. 💯 To address the interviewer who was asking why you would give up the 30% for $250k. In addition to maybe being in a situation where you might need the money, another reason may be that when a REAL publisher has a piece of a hit song they aren’t just sitting on it. They are working it. Licensing it for sync in movies, tv shows, commercials etc. As a producer or writer, you might not be inclined to do all of the legwork that’s required for licensing a hit song or you just may not have the knowledge or resources to do it. A real publisher does. And anybody that’s offering you $5M is a REAL publisher lol. So they can add value to your song. So let’s say you have one hit and over the life of your career, your song will generate $1M that you keep all to yourself. And that’s if you never do any working of the song. Not pursuing licenses etc but just taking whatever falls in your lap from your song. Now put a publisher in the picture that’s working the song. Even if the lifetime earnings only increases to $1.5M (that you now have to pay the publisher 30% of- which is $450k) it was still a good deal for you to take $250k upfront to give the publisher 30%. Because they added value. In the scenario where you did nothing after making the song you put $1,000,000 in your pocket. In the scenario where you still nothing, but the publisher came in and worked it, you earned $1,050,000 in your pocket. And this is using small numbers. If you’re being offered numbers like $5M for ownership and $250k for a piece, the real backend numbers are going to be way higher and everybody is going to be eating well- especially YOU because you’re making 70 cents of every dollar coming in!! ✊🏽✊🏽🙌🏽

Playing the long game

I really appreciate "The Producer Grind" I learn a lot from watching this Podcast. I'm never signing to any label for any amount of money. I'm in it for the long haul. I'll make a lot more money over the course of my career, by staying Independent. Thank you!

Damn this was everything I needed to know about publishing in 12 minutes 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

This had me thinking about Kreayshawn, who told her fans to stop streaming "Gucci Gucci" cause she gets $0 from the streams, but she gets roughly $100 every 3 months from ASCAP... I'm guessing that's an example of an artist who gave up all their publishing (Edit: God damn! That song's still getting 26M streams on Spotify, even 10 years later)

What he was saying about the 30% for 250k is that it's a lease. For 5 years they own 70% of the publishing. Instead of selling it for 5 mil 9:40

Favorite episode yet. Keep that 1% style thinking going. Good stuff fellas.

Man this channel inspired me to get back in the kitchen.

Producers are considered writers therefore the rates are the same for producers stop misinforming producers, by law there is nothing that separates producers from writers
