I know many of you have had experience in this area so I wanted to check in for you advice on which Publishing company to select. I know there is CDBaby and Tunecore as the two most branded but there are also others. I did put in an application with BMI as well, compared to ASCAP, and still waiting on their response.

As I get more serious about developing lyrics and music I figured I would start out right. So far the advice on the internet seems to be:
1. Copyright your material (I did that for the song Love You More)
2. Sign up with one of the PROs (BMI, ASCAP)
3. Pick a publishing company (Tunecore, CDBaby, others)
4. Sign up with soundexchange.com

Let me know your thoughts and if I am forgetting anything. I will most likely never be the vocalist if that makes any difference.
