Work for hire
You are paid a fee and the client owns the result.
Common for ghost production, library music and some remix commissions. No royalties afterwards, so price the fee as if it is the only money you will ever see.
Use this in your own career
audioglyph.io keeps your press kit, artist page, smart links, contacts, contracts and analytics together, so terms like work for hire turn into decisions you can actually track.
