The Ultimate Royalties Checklist for Independent Artists

Stop leaving royalties on the table.

When you release music, there are multiple types of royalties to collect and different organizations that collect them. Missing even one registration could mean missing out on hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars over time. This checklist gives you a simple guide to make sure you collect everything your music earns.

Inside, you'll discover:

• A “Before You Release” roadmap: Know exactly which registrations to complete so your royalties start tracking from day one.
• The “Optional but Highly Recommended” setups: Learn how tools like YouTube Content ID, neighboring rights, and fingerprinting services unlock extra revenue and protection.
• Post-release maintenance: What to check after release—credits, artist profiles, statements, and updates—so nothing slips through the cracks over time.
