Once your tracks have been approved they will show up on your 'SoundCloud Management' page. Paste the track URLs onto this page to clear them for monetisation.

Once you’ve added your tracks for monetisation, we’ll send them to SoundCloud so you can earn money from every play on your track. Once your track has been cleared for monetisation you’ll see the blue dollar symbol on it as confirmation.

With your tracks all set up to start earning from SoundCloud, we’ll collect the stats and revenue from SoundCloud each month 45 days after the end of the month.
