I'm mainly into Christian songs which I send to CCLI with just me singing with the guitar. If churches like my songs, they will use them with the music choir performing them, all they need is the lyrics and rough tune so they know how it should be sung. I'm pleased at how many songs get used, I get a royalty each time the songs get picked up in the sampling, much the same as radio, If it gets picked up in one sample, it might be used in 100 other churches that are not being sampled that week, you get nothing from them, like I said, just like radio. Not getting rich by any means, averaging about a thousand dollars a month.


The old fashioned way still being done to pitch to publishers . They're still adamant that I know of on not taking AI songs . Everyone paid a fair share , studio session players , demo singers recording studios .
Not bad man royalties of 1k a month .

Different roads, but the same means.
