🎹 Artists! STOP Leaving Money on the Table! 💸

Are you only registered with a PRO like ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC? If so, you’re likely missing out on 50% of your digital royalties. 

Many artists think their PRO collects everything, but they only handle Performance Royalties. To get your Mechanical Royalties (from every single stream on Spotify or Apple Music), you need a publishing administrator.

Songtrust vs. DIY: What's the Move?

• SongTrust: They do the heavy lifting! For a fee and 15% commission, they register your songs with hundreds of global societies. Perfect if you have international streams and want a "set it and forget it" solution.
  

• The DIY Route: Want to keep that 15%? You can register directly with The MLC (The Mechanical Licensing Collective) in the U.S. for free! This captures your domestic streaming mechanicals without the commission.
  

The Bottom Line: Don’t let your royalties sit in a "black box" until they expire. Whether you go with an admin or do the paperwork yourself, make sure your publishing is secured!
