If you’ve ever felt like the money side of music is confusing, fragmented, or harder to understand than it should be, you’re not imagining it.
Most musicians have a general idea how their music generates income, but very few really understand how the system actually works and how all the pieces fit together. They release songs, upload
through a distributor, sign up with a PRO, and assume the rest is being handled somewhere behind the scenes. They figure the platforms must be communicating with each other, the registrations must somehow be connected, and if the music is getting used, the money will eventually find its way back to them.
Usually, it doesn’t work that way.
The truth is that the music industry
is made up of multiple separate systems that don’t automatically connect. Streaming income, performance royalties, mechanical royalties, digital performance royalties, sync fees, backend royalties, publishing administration, neighboring rights, metadata registration, and copyright ownership all operate through different structures, different organizations, and different rules. If one part of that structure is missing, incomplete, or set up incorrectly, the money your song generates may never
reach you.
That’s exactly why I created The Complete Musician’s Guide To Getting Paid.
This is a new in-depth video course and guide for musicians who want to understand how the money side of the business
actually works and how to set it up properly.
