The early stages of your songwriting career can be both exciting and frustrating: you're sitting on dozens of songs with lots of promise, but you have no idea what the next steps are to actually start earning money with those songs.

In this webinar hosted by SongwriterLink founder Lisa Occhino, sync licensing expert Brad Hatfield will share tried-and-true tips, advice, and action steps to start licensing your music and turn your passion into your career.

By the end of this webinar, you will:

• Understand what truly goes into the process of getting a sync placement, from start to finish

• Know the specific qualities of songs that get licensed vs. those that don't

• Understand what music supervisors are looking for — and how to get taken seriously when you pitch them

• Have an action plan to get your very first song licensed

• Have your music licensing questions answered by Brad Hatfield in a live Q&A session
