As a song writer myself, I like ASCAP and the song writers fund.

I doubt too many people on here ever got a payout from either, so you might be asking in the wrong place.
Seems like everyone thinks they need to sign up for one or the other to act like they "really" do this, lol

Unless your work is being released by a major and in rotation, you probably won't see too much of anything. The stuff I've done for t.v. gets tracked by ascap and AFM but my checks come from some places i've never heard of.

Personally SESAC is way better about their business with smaller/lesser known names. They give their artists more attention than the other two.

its good to sign up with both, you cant send a song to both but its good to work with the two

So how exactly do you get money from writing a song then?
