Why Publishing Matters: Securing Your Music's Future

As a music creator, your passion for making music drives everything you do, but have you considered how to transform that passion into a sustainable career?

One crucial aspect that every creator should focus on from the start is music publishing.

What is Music Publishing?

Music publishing is the process of managing a song's rights to ensure songwriters, including producers, get paid when their music is used. Understanding and leveraging music publishing is essential for any serious music creator.

Long-Term Revenue

Every time your music is played, whether on the radio, in a club, on a streaming platform, or in a commercial, you earn royalties. These payments can continue to flow in for years, providing a steady income stream long after the initial release. By securing your publishing rights, you ensure that you're properly compensated for your work's ongoing use.

Ownership and Control

Owning your publishing rights means maintaining control over how your music is used. You decide where and how it's played, ensuring it aligns with your artistic vision. Own your publishing to keep a larger share of the revenue and steer your career in the direction you want.

Value Appreciation

Just like real estate, the value of your music can appreciate over time. As your career progresses and your music gains popularity, your catalog becomes more valuable. Music publishing is an investment in your future. By building a catalog of published works, you're creating a portfolio that can generate income for decades to come. 

Legacy Building

Music publishing can be a source of generational wealth. Retain ownership of your publishing rights, and your family can continue to benefit from royalties and licensing deals. Secure your publishing to invest in your own future and the future of your loved ones.

Take Control of Your Music's Future

As a music creator in today's industry, it's essential to understand and prioritize music publishing. By securing your publishing rights, you're ensuring long-term revenue, maintaining control over your music's use, building a valuable portfolio, and creating a lasting legacy. Don't let this crucial aspect of your career fall by the wayside.
