Why I Use Songtrust For Claiming Royalties
Hello Friends,
Navigating the world of music publishing can be confusing, but it's crucial for maximizing your income as an artist. Today, I want to share a tool that has been genuinely helpful for me: Songtrust.
If you're like me, you might have tracks that have gained significant traction on streaming platforms. Some of my songs racked up seven-digit play counts, but I realized I hadn't claimed the mechanical royalties for those tracks. These royalties are paid out to the publisher's share of the publishing and can be an essential part of your income.
Even though my tracks were signed with a label, they were not signed with a publisher, which meant that the publisher was/is me. Without a proper claim, I was missing out on money. That's when I turned to Songtrust.
Songtrust makes it easy to claim your publishing income. After registering my songs with Songtrust, I started seeing some checks trickle in. It was a relief to know that I was finally getting paid for all the hard work I had put into my music.
If you have tracks streaming but haven't claimed your mechanical royalties yet, Songtrust might be worth checking out. It's been a valuable tool for me, and to help you get started, use my link for $10 off the sign-up fee.
Until next time,
-Nathan
P.s. I know all of the different types of royalties can be confusing so I’ll go in more detail in the future as to how to cover all of your bases.
