So I thought I would ask around. Where is the best place (in your humble opinion) to sell finish products? For either "Ghost Production" or full end user licensing with all Rights forfeited, or licensed with Royalties/Credits.

I need to really get going here. I have a pretty good catalog I've built. Time to try and get some cash. I really thought of contacting Professional sound houses, music directors of shows. I was invited by a couple of Industry 'insiders' to do work because they were impressed, but they want favors and deals, as if I'm an intern. And they want Rights to songs that are worth a LOT of money IMO.

I don't have time to to be someone's "in house" Producer/Writer/Player...or for cheaply purchased Rights. So I'm convinced I have to go for it on my own.
Any suggestions would be great.

Step one: Marketing
Step two: Distribution a great write up on that here -> (https://www.reasontalk.com/2016/11/dist ... f-options/)
Step three: Stop fucking with people who want your work for free or to retain rights without paying you for it.

I've had better luck selling production work (building tracks/SFX for clients) than track sales, but I'm awful at marketing, like terrible at it. I've only been successful enough to pay for my habits (which was the goal).
How was I supposed to know "don't touch" meant to not push the big...red...button?

Thanks. I suck balls at marketing too. I think I want to do both, Production/Engineering...and selling my own stuff.

Personally I've been looking into the idea of doing stock music and sound, you'd be surprised how much you can make and it also .
Here are a few places you can upload stuff.

I have bought tracks from edmghostproducer several times. And I have always been satisfied with my purchase. Maybe you should use this service to sell your songs?
