Monetize Your Music

42 readers
1 users here now

Lately, I've been focusing on how to promote my music and reach/build an audience and on making sure that I'm collecting all the royalties that belong to me.

However, I notice that a lot of musicians (including myself) know very little about it, the information is sparse and confusing, there is no checklist about where to register, what's needed to be claimed and so on.

So I thought it might be helpful for all musicians to gather, share information and experiences and learn from each other.

The purpose of this community (as of now) is to post about the following:

1) Music royalties collection

  • Research
  • Which company collects which royalties
  • How to register, collect
  • Anything else related to royalties
2) Music promotion (not here, intended as how to)
  • Research
  • Testing, experiences
  • What works and what doesn't
  • What tools, companies or methods and how to use them
  • Anything else related to music promotion
  • Well, I guess you got the point :) Anyone who can give or get value from here is more than welcome!

    Dear fellow musicians, in case you didn't know there is a 100% fediverse-sourced online radio called Radio Free Fedi (@radiofreefedi@musician.social).

    About radio free fedi, from their website/***********************************************/
    Our friend Gabe from @owncast@fosstodon.org really wanted a 24/7 feed of fedi artists, video, audio, anything. Given various attempts by Gabe and ourselves at both video and podcast formats with sustainability of content and buy-in issues, RFF is an invitation to a community driven pivot.

    radio free fedi is consent, agency and artist celebrating community radio from the fediverse. We actively and openly present contributing artists' information with the hopes that you will drop-in, discover, and then LEAVE? That's right, RFF has no interest to be an end-point for hyper focused consumption. We also do not have the resource to provide infinite custom streams and we love the community to not do souless algorithms. We want to foster organic discovery and discourse. We want to generate support for fedi artists on the platforms and methods of their choice, no judgement. Support independent and fedi artists!
    /***********************************************/

    You can easily submit your music which will be then in rotation on the radio!
    You'll have the chance to be discovered and discover other fedi musicians!

    In the submission, you can indicate your fedi account and your favourite support method which the listeners can easily click when your track is playing :)

    From their website again:
    *** Keep submitting music, voice reads, written pieces! Keep listening and discovering. Every day is a great day to discover and support independent artists! ***
