    To monetize your YT videos, you need 1000 subscribers and 80000 hours of views during the past 12 months.

    You're a fucking treasure. Anybody who says that you can't learn music or make money as an artist online hasn't tried hard enough. With people like you it's impossible not to. You're basically schooling all these people on business and music at the same time. For free. Crazy. Most questions I've had lately have been answered by your videos.

    Yo. Number 6 sounds like my cup o tea. I love bringing people together round my city to hear the sounds we have, and rappers love to know about producers, especially local ones. That’s an excellent method of not only getting money out of your product, but you also feel you’ve just contributed to the rap culture within your city by linking people up! You never cease to amaze me.

      @@immyilla I actually still use distrokid but I also like cd baby. Distrokid is worth the money you invest if you're willing to take it serious and possibly don't upload all of them within a three months time frame. Put the pr hours into marketing each specific beat and you'll be alright.

    This is Dope! I made my first UA-cam covering the same topic there is no excuse to be broke or not follow your dreams in 2018. A great way to make money is to think about something you know others hate doing but you are good at and turn that into a service. A buddy and used to organize(not clean) rooms to increase a person's work flow.

    *Attention* and luv to u Curtiss- With streaming services, I'd like to let all artists know that you will need multiple sources to administer you royalties etc. This is internet now. Your music could be streamed in 'sweden, britain etc' you won't get money from that. I'll just paste this from Audiam company. As far as publishing outside of the US, foreign collection societies would track and collect these royalties from UA-cam. In order to collect for publishing worldwide, you'd need to affiliate and register your music with these societies.
    For example:
    - PRS/MCPS in the UK
    - GEMA in Germany
    - SACEM in France
    - SIAE in Italy
    A publishing admin would often handle the task for you.
    Then you also have things like distrokid, etc. THey all have various prices etc. I'm sure Curtiss maybe getting affiliate from his links and cool. But look into all varieties and how many publishing/etc you need to link up to. Copyright blah blah. It's a fuckin headache but it's YOUR BUSINESS now. take 6 months even to study cause some like ascap/BMI want you to log into a 2 yr contract and can take 30% for tax etc etc. THIS IS WHY ARTISTS GET FUKD OVER. Look into who you do and don't need. Me personally, I don't need to copyright.gov my shit yet cause I don't care if someone re-uses my music as long as I get some cash. If I was Beiber and someones claiming outright then yeh I'll use lawyer$, go to court$, trying to get dollar$ $ueing people. Theres soo so so much to this, its a fuckin headache but its your life. Dont sign up to shit you dont need or find different.
    Heres some info from Audiam, As far as Amuse.io (my preferred distributor) this should not cause any conflict with Audiam collecting mechanicals.
    (mechanical royalties)
    For UA-cam, I'd ask you to also make sure that you have not opted into any UA-cam monetization services before submitting sound recordings to Audiam. Now also you dont need to use adsense as there others you can use who will get you more money. Nobody starts a small business just to be small. Dont fuck urself over from the start. Learn all this shit. Business sucks but the music industry is the worst. Find how to get ur gems before you go digging. These fucks will bleed you dry and even put you in debt. Im still learning so I dont have all the answers. (I just woke up so im sure theres mistakes here)
    also www.huffingtonpost.com/jamie-purpora/10-things-you-need-to-ask_b_3876434.html You may not need these as YOU ARE NOT A PERFORMING ARTIST just distribute online. People say you need them to be paid. Yeah if your gigging. DOnt listen to fools, save money. Learn this for yourself.
    Also also, whos paying most. Funnily enough youtube pays lowest, BUT they have mass gain to your channel if you learn how. Tidal was the highest paying (microsoft Groove was paying awesome but now sold to spotify), you get to them via places like Distrokid etc. Don't thing 'yeehharrr im on spotify. Spotify sux' If you get there, promote your songs/links from the highest payer of the streaming service. Deezer, spotify etc pay shit.
    A good idea is to use your product 'NON EXCLUSIVE' if someone wants to buy your music outright, yeh you make some coin and its no longer your song,, being non exclusive you take less, they may use it at some football matches, you get royalties from it you could be earning soooo much more. Don't sell yourself short.
