YouTube has become the most popular music-discovery tool in the world and the most popular listening platform for people under the age of 18. Now the video streaming giant is also one of the best ways for independent artists to earn money from their music.
That’s right: with our Sync Licensing Program (FREE for all CD Baby artists), you can get paid for the usage of your music in ANY video across the YouTube universe that uses your songs.
CD Baby has already paid out over $1,000,000 to independent artists for their music on YouTube, and that figure is growing fast.
So, how does monetizing music on YouTube work?
YouTube’s content ID system
Once you’ve opted in for CD Baby’s Sync Licensing Program, your music will be delivered to YouTube’s content ID system. This means that YouTube will scan your tracks with their magical high-tech machinery and register an exact sonic “fingerprint” for each and every one of your songs in their database.
From that point on, any time someone out there in the YouTube universe uploads a video which uses one of your songs, YouTube will place an ad on that video and you will earn a share of any ad revenue generated. Remember: this includes placing ads on the videos you have already uploaded to your own YouTube channel — but more on that later!
