STRINGer APPLICATION

How The Process WORKS

The media world may be new to you; so you may be wondering how the media sale process works. It starts with you recording, editing, and then uploading your media package to our Content Distribution Network (CDN). Once uploaded, an LSM representative will review and price your package accordingly. This process typically takes less than 30 minutes, but can sometimes take longer during the overnight hours. Media entities are then able to view, and potentially buy, your package. If a package is bought, you’ll then be paid out your cut of the sale (your cut will be outlined in your Agency Agreement). Sales are usually paid out quarterly since the media entities tend to pay us quarterly. You’ll get your check in the mail at that point. Overall, it is a simple process. Let us know if you have any questions!
