Maximize Your Earnings – The Importance of Royalty Collection
You’ve released your music. It’s streaming. It’s gaining traction. But here’s the big question “Are you collecting all the royalties you’re owed?
Thousands of independent artists miss out on money every year simply because they don’t understand how music royalties work or how to collect them effectively.
In this blog, we break down the types of royalties, why many artists leave money on the table, and how our platform helps you track and collect every cent your music earns.
Understanding Music Royalties
Royalties are the payments you earn when your music is played, sold, or used. These include:
1. Mechanical Royalties:
Generated from the reproduction of your music (downloads, CDs, streams).
2. Performance Royalties:
Earned when your music is played publicly, on radio, at venues, or streamed online.
3. Sync Royalties:
Paid when your music is used in film, TV, ads, games, or YouTube videos.
4. Neighboring Rights Royalties:
For the performance of sound recordings (separate from the composition).
Why Most Indie Artists Miss Out
- Unregistered Music: If you haven’t registered with a Performance Rights Organization (PRO), you can’t collect performance royalties.
- No Publishing Admin: Without a publisher, you might miss out on international royalties.
- Lack of Metadata: Incomplete or inaccurate song data means your royalties don’t get tracked correctly.
- Multiple Platforms, No Oversight: Many artists use different services and lose track of what’s owed.
