How do you make money with Spotify and Apple Music
If you are a musician, composer or beatmaker, it is normal to be paid when they use your music, including streaming.
Streaming is a way to deliver video or sound, without requiring you to download files from the Internet.
The most popular music streaming platforms are: Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Soundcloud, YouTube Music and TIDAL.
The musician who registers his work needs to know that there are certain types of rights that guarantee royalties.
Below we will understand the rights that usually give more profit to musicians.
In the past, record companies paid songwriters a percentage of the net value of each CD unit sold.
Nowadays with streaming, royalties are paid differently.
You guarantee royalties for mechanical rights every time you play your music on services like Spotify and Apple Music, among others.
Each one has its value / reproduction.
How do you make money with Spotify and Apple Music
Spotify pays around $0.00318 per play.
Apple Music pays around $0.008 per play.
To simplify, imagine that someone has chosen to play your music on Apple Music.
Every time someone chooses your music, Apple Music plays it and you, the owner of the work, will be entitled to mechanical royalties for each reproduction of it.
It's the famous "play count".
So when you do the math, for you to earn $1 on Apple Music, you need about 125 plays.
$10 on Apple Music, needs about 1250 plays.
$100 on Apple Music, needs about 12,500 plays.
$1,000,000 on Apple Music, needs about 125,000,000 plays.
Any media outlet that benefits from your music owes you royalties from the rights to perform the music.
But for that, your music needs to be registered.
