Tips & Tricks to Make Music Pay You - Part 3

Finally registered? Have you put your name in the hat so it can be called? Can we tell who you are through a sound proof window?. Not trying to be a smart alec, but honestly its almost hilarious the amount of people just wonder why they haven't seen their checks yet. How is anybody gonna pay anybody they can not identify?
So now whats next? Use your number you now have to be your calling card as a linked in affiliate to CNS. You now have access to all the tools Music That Pays provides for you. Also now eveything will be thrown in your back office. Logon to MUSICTHATPAYS.com name, password the whole nine and hit the steets.
Ideas to use these tools will be thrown in the next post. In this post I would like to smooth out being a affiliate a little more. What is a affiliate? Person or entity that acts as a legal representative for a 3rd party company, or something close to that I hope. Well even if its not its sounds pretty intelligent, right? Permissions are given from this company to legally market, negotiate, design, explain, and offer the services in lack of their concrete presence. This is so common among business that I guarantee you have seen a affiliation somewhere before. The goal of this in the business world was always to spread business out easier with less hassle through trusted capable partnerships. As a affiliate, you act as if this business is your own even though its not your direct product or service.
A example? Some of the most known are TV Stations. Have you ever noticed that the major networks sometimes will say ABC-4 rather than just ABC? Or sometimes? on a toss they will say "Now out to our Network affiliate...."? Thats because this is not the network ABC, its a actual total seperate entity that broadcasts ABC shows. You would never know because it has a almost same logo, its broadcasting ABC shows, and talks of ABC events. However, you will definately also see local shows pretty often. This station is a local partner that is owned by a completely different entity. They come to a agreement that allows the local station to have popular content that ABC broadcasts. They benefit because they now have a quality product to expose and do not have to build up on so much. They now have automatic local viewers that will view these national programs. As it also widely benefits the national network, like ABC, because they have added more audience to their viewership that they did not have to spend a huge budget to get. Its a much more loose franchise investment due to the fact their usually isn't a huge "Buy - In". The affiliate exposes this product through his circle and gets PAID a good piece of whatever business they bring.
When you are a independant affiliate of Crazy N Sane/Music Distro, you want to use your channels and skills to broadcast it to your following or surroundings. If you are a beautician, throw up a stand alone panel with your favorite Music That Pays artist on it. Or if you are a walking billboard, throw a small spot for your Music That Pays url. How about being a place that wraps cars? Throw a section on your personal wrap with your favorite artist on their along with the Music That Pays logo and say "Get this hot Music that Pays from .....". Your vouching or endorsing it, so your circle will at least check it out.
There are tons of stuff you can do, but remember its still using your regular channels to endorse a concept that you believe in. I've seen music in the post office, a blood donation in Wendy's of all places, and even a metal ad on a MC's webpage. Its all affiliations!! The affiliation flourishes much better the more you endorse it, but the key is to endorse it someway. Believe you me, your going to always find people that have some interest that is within your normal business and personal circles. Drop one of your tools (card, disc, electronic press kits, gift cards, etc) and tell them of Music That will Pay them for life. They have to be pretty silly to just not try a couple discs. Who wouldn't want to be PAID to listen to music? Your probably listening to some just reading this entry ;)
