🎵 DAY 6 — YOUR MUSIC IS A BUSINESS, NOT JUST A HOBBY! Ladies, can we have a little music business talk today? 👀💜 You've been creating songs, writing lyrics, choosing instrumentals, and building your sound. But here's something I want every woman in this academy to understand: CREATING MUSIC IS ONE THING. LEARNING HOW TO EARN FROM YOUR MUSIC IS ANOTHER! 💰🎶 Some of you have already released songs, but have you checked whether you're properly set up to collect the royalties you may be entitled to? And here's another question: Do you actually know where your music royalties come from? Let's talk about it! 🎧 STREAMING ROYALTIES: When your music is streamed, different types of royalties may be generated. Your distributor typically handles the recording revenue from platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. ✍🏾 SONGWRITING ROYALTIES: If you qualify as a songwriter or publisher, you may also be entitled to publishing royalties. These can involve performance rights organizations and other royalty collection services. 🎼 MUSIC REGISTRATION: Depending on your rights and eligibility, registering your songs with the appropriate organizations can help ensure royalties are tracked and collected. ⚠️ IMPORTANT FOR AI MUSIC CREATORS: AI-generated music can have different ownership, copyright, and monetization rules. Check your music generator's commercial-use terms, your distributor's AI policies, and whether your contributions qualify for copyright protection before claiming or registering rights. Ladies, don't assume that uploading a song automatically means every royalty you qualify for will find its way to you! And don't forget what we discussed yesterday.
