## Prompt

```text
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].
