Where is your music distributed?
All over the world. We get your music into Spotify, iTunes, Deezer… and all other major digital music services. Starting immediately, you will be able to distribute your catalog on very important music services that other platforms do not deal with, such as YouTube Audio Content ID, YouTube Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, Deezer, Facebook, iTunes, Tik Tok, Tidal and many others. The number of our partner outlets continues to grow and so you will always earn money whenever and wherever your music is heard or downloaded. Should you not want a worldwide distribution, you can opt to select only certain, circumscribed areas.
How does Monetize Your Creations work?
It’s very simple! Once you upload your tracks or albums onto our platform, we will deliver them to digital music stores and YouTube. Your royalties will be automatically calculated and you will be able to trace them on your dashboard, located on our site.
Once every three months we will send you a payment (at a minimum threshold of €50) via bank transfer, PayPal or Stripe, as you prefer. Our contract is available online: See our Terms of Use for further details.
How can I obtain maximum earnings from YouTube through Monetize Your Creations?
Ideally, you will also open your own official Artist channel to access two big advantages: Your music will then appear at the top of specific internet searches and you will have an enhanced professional presentation. However, having an official Artist Channel on YouTube is not imperative. In fact, it would be sufficient to just upload your music to our platform.
With YouTube Audio Content ID, we protect your copyrights so that the profits from your music will always go to you, no matter who may have uploaded your content, without your knowledge or permission. Unfortunately, this can be an all too common occurrence.
The more views you get, the more you earn. You should be aware that other distributors will not let you monetize on YouTube. Or, they will do so only if and when you first pay them commissions to get your works into digital music stores. With us you retain your options to decide exactly where to distribute your music. If you are interested only in YouTube, that’s perfectly OK with Monetize Your Creations!
