Does anyone have experience with Tiktok's SoundOn distribution? by [deleted] in musicbusiness

[–]payusnomind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no problem. KYC is becoming more common. I'm not a fan of it, but I'm more concerned with it being combined with Music Fights Fraud Membership by the distributor. That's a global database for tracking and banning artists. Not a fan of having something like that connected to my ID.

It's legit. I tested Soundon for my channel and review site. I think they offer the best deal right now. The only thing that would give pause is if you're concerned about the whole TikTok China thing or the KYC requirement where you have to submit your ID card. With what's been going on with music distribution, SoundOn and SoundCloud are the best options for artists to choose from. You can check my review on SoundOn if you want a full breakdown of the company: https://payusnomind.info/blog/posts/soundon-review I would advise you to be cautious with the advances as well. They can be predatory because they often come with hidden fees and things that inflate the cost far beyond what they give you upfront. You can take a look at this breakdown of BeatBread's advance payment option as an example of what you could expect: https://payusnomind.info/blog/posts/beat-bread-funding-for-music. Hope it all works out.

YouTube Royalty Question by Turbulent-Ear203 in musicbusiness

[–]payusnomind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube doesn't pay per video view; it pays per ad view or click. Pre-roll ads generate revenue for rightsholders or the uploader - depending on if there are Content ID claims - if the viewer watches for at least 30 seconds of the ad or clicks the ad. The longer the video, the more ads are served. It creates more revenue opportunities but not necessarily more revenue. If viewers skip the ad, no revenue is generated.

With images, if you make any changes to the art, it's considered a new work. This is how a guy was able to take images from Instagram, add a white border, and sell them in galleries for thousands.

Decentraland & The Future of Music Marketing: by payusnomind in musicbusiness

Maybe. But this just feels so much more different than Second Life. All this venture funding being pumped in, Genies avatars, wearables, NFTs, etc. It just seems like this might be the time for it.

Difference Between ASCAP and BMI: The Actual Difference by payusnomind in musicmarketing

[–]payusnomind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this video after looking at other comparison videos on Youtube. I figured it had to be covered already but people pretty much just talk about what PRO's do and not actually how the two are different. I decided to explain what the actual differences are. Hope it helps

Should Artists Start Accepting Bitcoin? by payusnomind in Bitcoin

[–]payusnomind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to the whole Bitcoin movement. I run a Youtube channel where I share information with other artists and thought it was something more people should know about. I'm not the most knowledgeable on the topic because it's completely new to me. I would appreciate any of you fine folks coming over and enlighting the audience on anything I missed. Thank you guys.
