How can a songwriter write songs that would sell?

These are some guide on how to write songs that sell well. 1. If you are a songwriter you should understand how the industry works and what is your new role within it.

2. You should realize that music is now written, deployed and embarked upon from a market driven perspective. A volume of music is being created from a very shallow writing and production style but there are still space left for songs and music that is yearned by a large part of the population especially the baby boomers.

Always remember the fact that if you will keep this in the back of your mind while composing songs, you will be one step close to success. And don't forget that baby boomers are not the prime music purchasing age group anymore. 3) Continue writing songs from within and from who you are.

Don't let yourself get caught up in the music fads. If you stick to writing with substance, style and from who you are and where "life" has carried your writing style, you will be driven by the craft of the song and not the latest music industry craze. 4) Be sure that you know how to market yourself.

In today's music industry you should write your "hit" song and be able to sell and market your next "big" hit as well. The song will not sell itself, this is the truth in a lot of cases. 5) Build your production strength for many great songs nowadays don't make it because the production does not yield enough emotional tone, upbeat or not, that the song implores.

Before you can get away with "fairly" good sounding tracks but now they have to sound like a record cut. 6) Always keep your focus on your gift and believe in your writing. At the same time, be honest and demand the highest quality of your song demos and learn from other who have the ability to sell factor in marketing their songs or products.

This is the new day and new ways of music industry. But success can be reached if you will hold to your writing values and not the latest music whim.

I believe a songwriter can write songs that sell if he or she follows a few simple rules. First is to sell your songs to people that can really sing. Barbra Streisand can sing any words and it will sound beautiful.

On the other hand you can be a songwriter and write beautiful words and it can fall into the hands of someone who can not carry a tune and they song will not live up to it's potential. The other key is the manager of the singer. If they are a good manager and promote the songs like crazy, have them played on radio stations across the world, the songs will sell better.

If the manager sits back and waits for the world to find him and the song, well the the song may be beautifully written but will not sell. In general, the key to writing good songs is tow rite from the heart. Nowadays we love honesty and real feeling.

I think that confidence is a very huge part and factor when it comes to writing songs, and writing songs that will sell and become well known. It is a point of believing in your music, and making the extra effort to have it heard by the right people. I also think that if you are talented enough, the rest will come with it.

Maybe do some research on the most popular bands or artists and listen to what the song is about and how the music is played and take notes mentally and express YOURSELF with these tips in mind. I hope this helps, and tell your friend not to be discouraged, many song writers go many years being turned away and everything until they finally get the one that matters! Good luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
