I've been a member of Broadjam for about a year and a half. When I first joined, the deals offered for each placement included pretty impressive sync fees, and I could communicate with a human if I had questions. I paid for my membership and saw no ads on the site. Now, the deals aren't as impressive across the board. Did every single provider suddenly decide music wasn't worth as much? I can't get ahold of any humans and there are ads for a bank popping up on the site.

I've had about 10 songs placed in various "music libraries" but have no idea who holds these libraries or what film companies or TV networks are in question. Just that my songs have been downloaded. Honestly, they could be placed across the globe somewhere, earning tons of money for the providers, and what's to actually make them pay me? I would never know if my song is being played across the world, and I heard BMI doesn't recognize Broadjam. I haven't seen ANY payments and my first song was placed almost a year ago.

I want to believe this is a great place to share my music. Does anyone with more experience than me have any encouragement or advice?

This may be speculation and an educated guess but here is my experience with Broadjam. After posting featured tunes for six or seven weeks I noticed a pattern. The ratio of the views and actual plays were nearly always the same. Perhaps there is some software inflating the numbers mixed in with the real plays to keep the customers coming back for more. I've been around the block a number of times and after seven weeks I would expect maybe, if I am lucking, to get a dozen plays. But here I got over 1200. Perhaps my music sucks big time so the inflated numbers does jump out at me. Given that it would be hard to believe anything they do is legit. Perhaps Broadjam needs to be correctly audited.
Just wanted to add another thought on this issue. This is regarding the number of plays. It reminds me of Youtube when one purchases fake views. Not many or no comments (unless of course you buy them). I found the number of plays on Broadjam disproportionate with the comments and ratings. Granted I did get a precious few of those from real plays.
