Here are some real life success stories of starting a licensing specialist business:
1. Easy Song ($3.78M/year)
Aaron Green and his childhood friend Mark Meikle started EasySongLicensing.com as a side project while running their mobile recording business, Legacy Productions. Sensing that the mobile recording industry had limited growth potential, Mark built a website to organize music licensing and saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between indie artists and large music publishers. They invested in the domain name EasySongLicensing.com and ultimately transitioned their focus to building the licensing agent business, which now boasts a user base of over 60,000 clients and brought in $2.5M in 2018 alone.
