Songtradr offers many ways to monetize and sell music.
For example, the Songtradr Monetization Portal contains opportunities that Songtradr has negotiated to benefit as many music creators as possible. Opportunities vary from those that promote creators and their music to blanket licensing deals that earn income over time.
For example, the Songtradr Monetization Portal contains opportunities that Songtradr has negotiated to benefit as many music creators as possible. Opportunities vary from those that promote creators and their music to blanket licensing deals that earn income over time.
Typically a blanket license will involve a number of tracks, let's say 1000, and our licensee partner will pay Songtradr each quarter of a fiscal year, as the music is used, attracting royalties and other income.
It's important to note that blanket licenses can take some time for income to start flowing because any licensee partner must deploy the music before it can begin earning revenue. Most blanket licenses will not start earning any revenue for at least 6 months, however, they can continue for many years delivering quarterly revenue once initiated.
An example of payment timing may look like this:
May 2020: Opportunity promoted in Songtradr Monetization Portal
July 2020: Music delivered to Licensee partner
August - September 2020: Licensee partner packages/deploys/distributes/delivers music
October 2020 - Music starts being consumed/streamed/sold/downloaded/used
February 2021 - Licensee partner pays Songtradr for last quarter revenue (Oct-Dec)
February - March 2021 - Songtradr accounts to Songtradr music creators
Another important point to remember is that our Opportunities are negotiated based on actual usage only.
For example, a TV Network wants a selection of music to use for TV shows at an agreed per use rate. In this instance, if your music is successful in getting used, you will only receive income if and when your song is used by the network. In this instance, it may take a long time for the music to be used and it may not be used at all, however your song is in a great position to be heard and used by being a part of the opportunity.
Songtradr is working hard to bring our music creators as many opportunities and services as possible so that over time you are collecting income from multiple buyers. The more you are in, the more likely you are to earn!
