Everett,
The ones who charge a percentage or a bonus structure are the ones to get, they don't produce anything, they don't get anything. Like we've both said , the ones who want fees up front probably make their living off of those fees, who the heck needs cuts when there's a bunch of people giving you $250 up front. Let's see if I can find just 1 person a day to give me $250 that's 30x$250...that's $7500 a month $90K a year...and since I'm not actually doing much of anything,I can work somewhere else and draw a paycheck there too!
I am starting to do some research myself about independant song pluggers, but I'm not ready to say I know squat about squat other than fee up front means No thanks...MJ
