6 Music Industry Topics Every Musician Should Know
Collective Management Societies
You'll want to make sure you're registered with a collecting society like ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC. This is very important because these are the entities that make sure you get paid every time your indian mobile number song is played… but don't stop there. You'll also want to look into mechanical royalties (the money you make when something is downloaded or sold on, say, iTunes, which ASCAP, SESAC, and BMI don't cover).
If your own research or searching isn't enough, always consult a professional. Don't worry if this seems like too much, there are people whose job it is to help you with this kind of thing… (That person is a music publisher and this post will tell you more about their job.)
Editorial Rights
If you're writing your own songs, there's money being generated that you're entitled to collect internationally, and you'll need help raising it. When many labels and artists start releasing music on Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, and more, the publishing rights part is often forgotten. Luckily for you, we've put together a comprehensive and complete guide to the publishing world.
