YouTube's Hidden Goldmine: Micro-Sync Royalties

Cole

People are using your song in YouTube vlogs and TikToks, and you are not seeing a dime of the publishing.

Every time your composition is used in a video, it can generate a micro-sync royalty: a tiny publishing payment stacked across millions of user-generated clips. Standard distributors might catch the master side with Content ID. They miss the publishing side completely. That money slips through every time a fan uploads your track under their footage.

Claim the publishing half of UGC

RightsTune registers and claims mechanical and performance royalties from user-generated content on platforms like YouTube, so you get paid for the composition, not just whatever Content ID happens to catch on the recording.

Get paid when fans use your music.
