Module 1.1: Why Every Artist Needs a Well-Organized Catalogue
A well-organized music catalogue is essential for artists who want to maximize their opportunities in the music industry, particularly in licensing and royalty collection.
Without proper organization, valuable tracks can get lost in the shuffle, making it difficult for you to present your work to industry professionals or quickly find specific songs when opportunities arise.
Key Points:
- Monetization: Makes it easier for music supervisors and sync agencies to find and license your work.
- Royalties: Ensures your music is registered properly with your P.R.O. for royalty collection.

Key Points:
- Sync Opportunities: Organized catalogs increase the chances of sync placements in TV, film, and ads.
- Efficiency: Streamlines the process of submitting your tracks for opportunities or sending them to collaborators.
