Gosh, It looks like a vicious circle. You have to have a big hit to join SESAC. You probably won't have a big hit more likely no hit if you aren't signed with a major publisher who has access to the major record labels/artists. So a major publisher, who it is next to impossible to send material to, doesn't sign songs by SESAC writers because they are scarce to begin with, because of SESAC'S policys, has BMI and ASCAP afiliations. So a BMI writer, for instance is signed and the song is a big hit. Are they now going to leave BMI and join SESAC? I don't think so. Self Publishing, such as it is, and a artist being his own record label won't have a big hit in the best of cirmstances. The best I heve ever heard is some artists selling 10 to 30,000 albums. Most a fraction of that. Unless you have a hit song out there no PRO will be better than another. YOU STILL HAVE TO WRITE THE HIT SONG. SOMEONE HAS TO RECORD THAT SONG. IT HAS TO BIG A BIG SELLER. ONLY YOU CAN DO THAT.
