What we handle for your channel

Channel monetization

We work with your channel as a partner: monetization set-up, policy guidance and revenue collected and reported in one dashboard.

Content ID for your music

Register your audio so you earn whenever it appears in someone else's video — dance clips, covers, reactions and Shorts.

Rights protection

Re-uploads and stolen content are claimed or taken down, and false claims against your channel are disputed on your behalf.

Analytics that matter

Views, watch time, RPM trends and top territories so you can see which uploads actually grow revenue.

Growth support

Guidance on packaging, upload cadence, Shorts strategy and brand-ready presentation for your niche.

Bank wire payouts

Withdraw to a local bank account, choosing your bank and account type, with a status update at every step.

Revenue

One balance, paid to your bank

Channel revenue and Content ID claims land in the same balance as any music you distribute with us. Request a withdrawal by bank wire, choose a savings or current account, and follow it from pending to paid. When your earnings are steady you can apply for an advance against future revenue, from $100 up to $1,000,000.
