What generates a Music Publishing Royalty?
You can earn different Publishing Royalties in many ways and we’re going to take you through what your composition can earn you!
Performance Royalties: Whether a composition is a performance on TV, broadcast on the radio, a background playlist streamed at a restaurant, a jukebox in a waiting room or a live performance. If you hear music when you’re out and about, it’s generating royalties to collect.
Mechanical Royalties: When a composition is reproduced in any form, a Mechanical Royalty is generated. This means you can earn more whenever your composition is purchased from stores like Amazon or Apple Music, as well as every time someone chooses to stream your composition.
Neighbouring Rights: Generated from the original recording or a public performance of the sound recording. Whilst they are similar to a sound recording and performance royalty, they are a different set of royalties to be earned. They also make sure the performers and recording owners get paid as well as the composer.
YouTube Micro Synchronisations: When your composition is added to any YouTube Video and advertising is activated, YouTube begins to collect these Royalties. This will also add your composition to YouTube Shorts. These are a United States based royalty only, however if it is left uncollected it is simply kept by YouTube.
