It was too late to market “Our Girl” to parents of graduating seniors and college grads in June of 2009. David put the song up on his Myspace and was flooded with people asking if they could get a copy for their daughter’s graduation video. This year was a different story and David & Sam went straight to Youtube in April 2010. Here’s how two savvy songwriters turned a specialty song about a girl’s graduation into $$

Example Video: 1 Evening of Hard Work collecting pictures, syncing the audio

Meta Tag Research: 1 Evening of Hard Work, a bit of tweaking

Website Hosting:     10.00 and you can probably do this for FREE

URL Domain:             9.00 this is important, you want to keep it year to year

Total cost:                  2 evenings and $19

It’s been less than a month and the song Our Girl already shows up on Google’s page 1 if you type graduation songs 2010. That’s progress. They sell the song directly to end users and bypass Itunes and all the other slow and bulky distribution points.

And every year, Our Girl will be the gift that keeps on giving. It says exactly what most parents want to say to their kids at graduation time.

Thank you Sam & David for sharing your story.

This trio wrote a song called “Unlikely Angel” which was recently released as the debut single for Warner Bros. artist Jason Jones.

Have you heard it yet? It’s blowing up the airwaves!

Just let me know when you are ready to come to Nashville and write with our network of hit songwriters. We can make it happen.

Congrats to Jason Jones and writers Constance, Anita, and Corey!

One of our clients, Cassidy Lynn, was recently featured on CMT Music City Madness 3 for her hit new single and video “Down by the Bonfire.”

Artist Development Network was not a part of the video production, however, the co-writing and actual song production were done through our services.
