The prompt

Help me build a plan to get more of my music licensed for film, TV, ads, games, and online video. What I make: [genres, instrumental or vocal, typical track length] Current catalog: [number of finished tracks; with libraries or not; exclusive or non-exclusive] Results so far: [placements, income, rejections] Time available per week: [hours] Gear and skills: [e.g. "home studio, I mix my own tracks", "no stems yet"] Goal for the next 12 months: [e.g. "20 placements", "$500/month in royalties"] Give me: 1. Catalog audit: what music supervisors and libraries typically need (clean edits, stems, alternate mixes, 15/30/60-second cutdowns, clear metadata) and which gaps to fill first. 2. Weekly production routine with targets, mixing in brief-driven tracks and catalog building. 3. Submission system: a tracker (Track | Version | Where pitched | Date | Exclusive? | Status | Follow-up), metadata standards, and file naming conventions. 4. Opportunity pipeline: types of outlets (exclusive and non-exclusive libraries, sync agents, brief services, direct relationships with editors and supervisors), how to research which ones fit, and red flags such as large upfront fees or rights grabs. 5. Rights and money basics: exclusive vs. non-exclusive, registering with a performing rights organization, cue sheets, and keeping publishing records. General information only; have contracts reviewed by a music attorney. 6. Income build-up: how upfront fees and back-end royalties compound over time, with realistic expectations. Do not invent specific companies' terms; mark anything I should verify [CONFIRM].
