Sync & Placement Income
Income from licensing your songs to films, TV shows, advertisements, video games and other audio-visual productions.
Print & Sheet Music
Royalties from printed sheet music, songbooks, lyrics distribution and educational use of your compositions.
Cover & Interpolation
Income when other artists record cover versions, samples, or interpolate elements of your composition into their work.

How It Works
From submission to global registration
From submission to global registration
in five steps.
A practical process focused on data quality: accurate metadata, reliable splits, and clean updates when credits change.
01
Create Profile
Add songwriter/publisher details, PRO/CMO membership info, and preferred payout method.
02
Submit Works
Add titles, writers, percentage shares, credits, supporting docs and ISWC where available.
03
Quality Check
Pre-submission audits flag missing data, name inconsistencies and split mismatches.
04
Routing & Registration
Works are prepared for PRO/CMO registration and routed through global collection pathways.
05
Track & Update
Monitor earnings, request credit updates, and keep your catalog aligned over time.
Submission Quality
Get it right the first time.
Submitting complete and consistent information improves matching quality and reduces duplicate records.
Submission Checklist
Use this list before submitting works so registrations and updates stay consistent.
-
Accurate writer shares Each writer's share should total 100% across the work.
-
Consistent writer names Use the same spelling across submissions to avoid duplicate or fragmented records.
-
Publisher info (if any) If a publisher exists, include name and share details.
-
Identifiers (if available) Include ISWC / writer IDs / PRO references if you already have them.
-
Split references Upload split sheets or agreements when possible to support dispute resolution.
-
Clean metadata habits Standardized titles, versions, and contributor roles reduce mismatch risk.
Common Reasons for Delays
Fixing these early helps keep the catalog clean and reduces back-and-forth corrections later.
-
Splits don't total 100% Missing shares can pause processing until corrected.
-
Inconsistent writer names Different spellings create duplicate or fragmented records across systems.
-
Unclear versions Remix/live/alternate titles need clear labeling to avoid conflicts.
-
Missing contributor roles Roles help systems interpret credits correctly across PRO and CMO partners.
Two Sides
Distribution vs Publishing.
A complete strategy often includes both the master side (distribution) and the composition side (publishing).
Music Distribution
Relates to the sound recording (master).
- Store delivery and release-level reporting
- Master-side monetization where eligible
- Catalog management for recordings
- Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube delivery
VS
Music Publishing
Relates to the composition (songwriting).
- Performance royalties (broadcast / venue)
- Mechanical royalties (composition-side)
- Sync licensing readiness
- Cleaner splits and consistent credits

FAQ
Publishing questions answered.
Quick answers about ownership, splits, PRO membership, sync licensing and payouts.
Publishing administration focuses on the composition side: registering works, managing writer splits, keeping metadata accurate, and supporting collection pathways for performance, mechanical, sync and digital royalties.
Yes. Distribution relates to the sound recording (master). Publishing relates to the composition (songwriting). Many catalogs use both to cover more revenue sources.
Yes. Multi-writer splits are fully supported with our Split Sheet Builder. All co-writers can confirm their share before submission to prevent disputes later.
Song title, writers, percentage shares, publishers (if any), territories, and identifiers (ISWC, PRO) if available. Accurate credits and splits improve registration quality.
Initial submissions are reviewed within 24 hours. Full registration timing depends on data completeness and PRO/CMO verification. Clear splits and consistent metadata speed up processing.
Yes — 100% ownership stays with you. Administration helps manage registrations and collection pathways without transferring your rights or royalty percentages.
Updates are possible. Keeping documentation (signed split sheets, agreements) helps support corrections when collaborator credits change.
Not required to start. If you already have PRO/CMO membership (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, PRS, etc.), include it. Otherwise, you can submit accurate splits and we help guide PRO setup.
Payouts are processed based on reported earnings, availability, threshold settings, and your selected payout method (bank, PayPal, etc.).
Sync readiness is part of the workflow. Clean metadata, ownership clarity and searchable credits help your catalog be considered for film, TV, ad and game placements.
