While not commonly categorized as a music service, YouTube does in fact beat out some of the main music streaming services when it comes to the amount of music being consumed.

With a global footprint of being available in almost every country on the planet this also has it’s advantages when compared to services like Spotify or Apple Music, which are in 65 and 115 countries, respectively. [/cs_text][x_custom_headline level=”h3″ looks_like=”h5″ accent=”true” class=”cs-ta-center”]How it works[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]When it comes to Monetizing Your Music on YouTube there are two two types of music rights that are monetized, the two right types are the ‘sound recording’, which is usually the record label, and the ‘composition’, which is the publisher, which is something we have outlined in one of our earlier articles here at Noizefield.

As some might already know, when a rights holder music is used on YouTube, YouTube’s Content ID system automatically fingerprints the music file and matches the music with the videos used, which is how they then track and process royalties for rights holders.

Whether a song is used on your own artist or label YouTube channel, a music promotional channel, or even used as background music in a video game tutorial, you can monetize and collect royalties from this usage as long as you own either the sound recording or composition rights to your music.

At Rightsify, we have just rolled out our YouTube Monetization Service for rights holders to collect both sound recording and composition royalties directly from YouTube so you can start monetizing your music all over the world.[/cs_text][x_image type=”thumbnail” src=”https://www.noizefield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Monetize-Your-Music-on-YouTube-e1464083785163.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h3″ looks_like=”h5″ accent=”true” class=”cs-ta-center”]Get Started[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]1.
