…and you are lazy like me (no touring, no self-promotion, etc) then then best way to generate some easy cash is have your tunes played on a nationally syndicated tv show.

Of course, my example happened without anything more than registering cds with BMI, making them available digitally and coming up with unique song titles. The Regis and Kelly Show had the famed “America’s Got Talent” ventriloquist Terry Fator on as a guest and someone wanted some return music for the segment. Not too many songs with the word ventriloquist in them, but I have one! So :20 seconds were played and a few month later a nicely sized check arrived in the mail from BMI!

I can only imagine the vast fortunes the Rembrandts amassed with their theme song for Friends!

I never thought I’d say it, but thanks so much to the Regis and Kelly Show!
