well, could be that you are good at writting music but here are few things.
as someone pointed out, music or jingle houses dont buy your music.
what you looking for is for your music to be in music catalogs or stock music. like "xtreme music" etc. which will have your song as well as a pool of composers in one cd for video editors, music supervisors etc. to be place in film and video and comercials.
its usually a publishing company you share 50%/50 if your lucky or a derivation of publiching company.
as for jingles and jingles houses , you have to prepare a demo to work in one.
not only does your music has to sound profesional quality but it has to be done in
less than 5-8 hours.
i worked in NYC and call for a comercial where at 11am and for the next day we needed to have 10 demos for one comercial. it was about 5 composers in total, one studio with a SSL and a kickass engineer.
studio stays with 60% and the rest was shared among the composers who one the gig.
the demos, are about as profesional quality as u can get. its the type of demos you will want to pitch sony to get to produce a cristina agulera almbum or simething.
that one gig was for budwieser and they pay 60 grand for the winner and 5000 for the demos.
