A Resource for helping you

become an Indie Publisher!

 

 

 

 

 

 

TLC HOME     TLC OASIS

The TLC Publishers Group is available to Indies that want to

publish their sheet music catalogue online.

 

 

BENEFITS

 

Impact & Longevity

One of the most powerful ways to impact the world is through the printed page.

Though the revenues from the printed page are smaller than that of recorded music,

the potential of placing the music in the hands of people is greater.

In addition, sheet music has longevity, allowing God to use it on a continual basis,

to build His Kingdom.

 

CCLI Royalty

TLC recommends all publishers consider affiliation with CCLI.

This has proven to be another source of revenue for songwriters and publishers.

Though revenues for sheet music may be initially small, CCLI royalties can grow to a substantial

residual income, as more and more church sing from your printed page.

TLC recommends considering "give-aways" periodically,

as an incentive for growth in the CCLI royalties.

It is important to include CCLI numbers on all sheet music.

If you need help with CCLI, TLC can be contracted to complete the CCLI Administrator affiliation for you.

 

Distribution, Set Up & Maintenance

The Lanier Company is sharing music with

over half the countries in the world!

TLC will set up and maintain all web pages.

Publishers web pages will include sheet music for review through PDF files,

MP3s for listening, and links for online sales.

 

TLC Special Pages

In addition, each publisher will have the option to be included in the

TLC NEWS, TLC FREE STUFF!, and TLC TOP 10!

 

 

Special Discounts

Members of the TLC Publishers Group will be given a 15% discount

on all TLC Oasis services, which include Artist & Ministry Development,

Demo Recording, Commission Music, and Music Typeset.

Discount does not apply to TLC Publishers Group set up and monthly costs.

 

 Inclusion in the TLC Indie Group

All TLC Publishers Group members will automatically be included in the

TLC Indie Group, FREE! SET UP FEES ARE WAIVED!

Web pages include a home page, ministry page,

and links to Sheet Music Catalogue.

 

Online Sales

TLC will set up your publishing catalogue in an online shopping cart.

We fill and ship all orders. Monthly accounting records will be kept,

and a check will be sent to you, within 10 days of the end of the previous month.

TLC will charge you only 10% of the net sales, deducted from your monthly sales.

Publishers are responsible to keep TLC supplied with sheet music, for all online sales.
