Nothing I couldn't learn by just going to Audiojungle site. We'll see if the other modules make this worthwhile.

Take this course if you want to know the basics of creating your own music portfolio and promoting your music. This is a fantastic introduction to what you need to do to get your music into stock music sites like Audio Jungle, Pond5, and others.

I was reluctant to take this course because I bought a much more detailed course a couple years back from an independent online instructor. This Udemy course was exactly what I needed to fill in the gaps. Glad I took it. Many thanks to Mr. Hiebner for creating it!
