* Free Opportunity: Users will not be charged to submit music and are limited to one song per user. Users will be required to agree in advance to your terms and conditions and you can use the Gigband standard license agreement or your own custom contract. You will not be obligated to select a song.

* Premium Opportunity: Users will be charged to submit songs. You can define the price of submission and Gigband will share with you the money generated by submissions. Please note: we only approve high end licensing opportunities that are fair and that our users might not have access to otherwise. If you would like to use Gigband to post a premium opportunity, please email naama@gigband.com

* Audition Opportunity: This opportunity gives you the chance to find the right music by listing your project on the “Opportunities” page, giving a brief of the music that you’re looking for and allowing users to submit songs directly to you. The main difference is that there is no agreement involved at this stage and if you are interested in licensing a song, you will then have to contact the seller directly and make an offer.

* Remember to explain what the project is and more specifically the type of music you are looking for. Choose the day you would like the opportunity to end or keep it ongoing if you would like to keep building your list of song submissions.

* Additional information can be added in the next step including an opportunity logo or image, company information and website. This all helps in putting across the information our users need in order to submit the right songs.

* You can choose the genres and moods that are suitable to your project.

Once you complete the process, click “Save” and your opportunity will be sent directly to the gigband team for approval. The gigband team can help to give you guidance throughout this process and make sure that your opportunity is presented in the best possible way.

Helen Austin, a Gigband artist, contacted us to let us know about her new album being released in Korea thanks to a contact she made on Gigband.com!

Here is her email:

Hi Gigband Team,
Thought I would let you know that a Korean company found me
through Gigband and they are going to release an album of my songs in
Korea in a few months.

Thanks!!!

A few months ago Helen was contacted via her Gigband store by Limelight Music Consulting, a company that holds a 35 per cent market share in the Korean commercial music production industry.

They approached her about releasing a CD with 12 of her songs and she has signed a contract with them to do this. It should be out in Korea in a few months.

Here’s the email:

Hi Maor,
I received a very cool email the other day from an old friend of mine
from Edinburgh, Scotland…

"Just a quick e-mail to say that you are a truly global star! Heard one of your tunes last week on the piped radio in Argos Edinburgh Blackhall!
Chris."

just to elucidate….
– ‘Argos’ is an Elecrtical goods retailer with stores all over the U.K.
– ‘Blackhall’ is a small suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland – where I went to elementary school.
– Chris is a childhood friend of mine from Edinburgh…

I have to say – quite a cathartic moment…
thanks Maor,
cheers,

Jamie
