Six short lessons on the four separate places one released song earns money, and on the free registrations that decide which of the four ever reach the person who wrote it.
Six lessons. Four accounts. One of them on a three-year clock.
A distributor collects the money the shops send back for your recording. That is one pot of four, and the other three open only when the writer goes and opens them. Nobody writes to say they are waiting.
This course takes one release apart into the four pots it fills, names the organisation behind each one, and walks the registrations in the order they have to happen in. Every figure on the page comes from a published source or from a panel you move yourself.
Self-releasing artists who write their own songs: releasing through a distributor and collecting from one place.
Bands and duos who split their writing: who need one agreed set of splits before anything gets registered.
Managers and venue teams who handle an artist's admin: keeping the paperwork straight while somebody else is on tour.
