If you are still interested in applying to become a member of a PRO or CMO, you will need to proceed with this step independently of Songtrust and apply directly on the collection society’s website. Please note that you must be a member of a PRO or CMO to work with Songtrust. To help make this process as seamless as possible, we have created a Collection Society Database that includes the PROs or CMOs in each country and territory with their corresponding information. https://songtr.st/447SpUX ✓ 0:00 Webinar intro and overview ✓ 2:46 Getting started in the industry ✓ 11:33 The role of a manager ✓ 14:35 Day to day responsibilities of a manager ✓ 17:40 What are the first steps of a new client? ✓ 22:00 Approach when working with an independent act vs. established act ✓ 24:30 Royalties explained ✓ 26:22 Entertainment Attorneys ✓ 28:56 Deals: When & what to consider ✓ 46:25 How managers can help producers collect master royalties ✓ 57:34 Pros & cons signing with a label and independent ✓ 1:01:43 Creative Services ✓ 1:19:07 Questions & Answers #MusicBusiness #MusicPublishing #MusicManager
