How You Get Paid
You’ll get paid from two places:
1. That Pitch "Money" Dashboard
- For non-exclusive tracks.
- Includes upfront license fees and Content ID revenue.
- Paid quarterly on a quarterly delay:
- January–March → Paid by July 31st
- April–June → Paid by October 31st
- July–September → Paid by January 31st
- October–December → Paid by April 30th
2. Your PRO (Performing Rights Organization)
- For both non-exclusive and exclusive tracks.
- Includes performance royalties from TV, movies, streaming platforms, social media, etc.
- Paid on your PRO’s schedule, usually quarterly.
Why Are PRO Payments Delayed?
- Usage Reporting: Platforms and broadcasters report earnings to PROs, which takes time.
- International Transfers: If your music is used in another country, their PRO sends the royalties to your home PRO, adding a delay.
It’s not immediate, but you’ll get paid once all the steps are complete.
