A lot of artists make the mistake of thinking that their music only makes money when people buy it or stream it on digital platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, etc and this money is paid to them through their distributor. While this is a big source of income for many musicians and artists, it is just one piece of a really big pie.
Anytime you put music out, you’re actually putting two separate things out: a master recording and a composition. Both of these things make money in different ways.
Your distributor only pays you for royalties generated on the master recording. Which is your sales, downloads and streaming money. Now when your music is played in any commercial setting like a pub, restaurant, TV radio, or even a concert, your composition begins to make money. And your distributor is not responsible for collecting those royalties to pay you!
In order to get paid for your composition, you need to be registered with an organization that pays out publishing royalties. We can help with that! Click here to start the registration process today so you can earn more from your music.
