The advertising, radio and television industries are always on the look out for original music to use on their shows. This is an interesting and sometimes lucrative end of the music field which can be well worth looking into for musicians.

You would need to write, compose and record music which could be used for documentaries, commercials and video presentations. You might even have material written and recorded already which would be a big plus. There are possibilities to go further in this field and even write for the film industry, but the competition is tough be warned.

Here is a link to a new site which has just been "released", and the webmaster is looking for music from musicians around the world to promote. This website sells royalty-free music to the advertising, radio and television community. If you upload your music to this site (ranging from 30 second to three minute pieces), you can sell it and split the profits with the host. It's a good place to get started with it and will give you a good idea of what's possible. Here's the link to have a look www.royaltyfreemusicfactory.com

I'll keep an eye out for more openings online in this field and add them as we go. Let's know how you get on with it and best of luck!
