🚨 The Top 3 Reasons People Struggle to Make a Living in the Sync World 🚨
1️⃣ Good Music Isn’t Always Enough
Your track might sound great, but does it have the standout potential to be placed in a soundtrack, editorial playlist, or radio chart? Many companies sign songs that are “good” but not “great,” leading to a false sense of success. Just because a song lands in a music library doesn’t mean it’ll get placed on TV or film — it could sit untouched for years. If you don’t continuously evolve your sound and skillset, you’ll struggle to stay relevant and profitable.
2️⃣ Not Networking with the Right People
I learned this the hard way: working with talented people who weren’t as committed to the business side. They loved creating but weren’t serious about deadlines, contracts, or investing in their craft. If you’re not networking with dedicated executives, collaborators, and professionals, you’re stuck in a waiting pool while others ride the current. Surround yourself with people who are serious about growth and results.
3️⃣ Blindly Trusting Course Sellers Without Proof
Many course creators boast about placements like “5 songs on Netflix,” but the reality might be far from glamorous. They could have earned only $1,000 per song and are making more money from selling courses than from sync itself. If they can’t show you real placement credits, payment breakdowns, and backend royalties, beware. Real success stories should come with receipts, not just promises.
💡 Takeaway:
Make sure your music stands out, build connections with serious professionals, and always ask for proof before trusting anyone who sells you “the dream.”
