What is publishing and what does it have to do with my music?

In short, everything! Publishing, or the composition, is the part of the song that pertains to the actual writing of the record. From those melodies you hummed into your Voice Notes app to the actual chord structure of the song, these are all elements of the composition and they play a major role in getting you paid!

In the latest episode of Artist 101 Essentials, we break down the ins and outs of music publishing, how to make money from it, the importance of a Performance Rights Organization, and more.

Congratulations! You’ve made the song, developed a marketing strategy, squared away the business side, and now you’re collecting royalties for your music. Now what? Now it’s time to soak in your progress and appreciate how far you’ve come.
