Why publishing royalties matter to you
Publishing royalties are what you earn as a songwriter or producer when your music is used. They matter because it’s your money and without help, a lot of it goes uncollected.
Sounds easy?
Well here's the issue
These royalties are collected by over 200 organizations worldwide. Some, like Performing Rights Organizations (PROs), track public performances but they don’t
collect everything.
If you don’t have a PRO
→ Monetunes can still collect your publishing royalties for you, globally.
→ You’re not missing out.
How PROs fit into this?
If you have a PRO
→ Keep getting paid by your PRO like you always have.
→ Connect your PRO account to Monetunes when you sign up.
→ Monetunes will collect everything your PROs might miss, especially from digital and international sources.
TLDR
✅ You earn publishing royalties when your music’s played, streamed, or used.
✅ PROs collect some of those royalties — but not all.
✅ Monetunes collects what your PRO and others might miss, worldwide.
✅ We work with your PRO if you have one, or collect everything for you if you don’t have one
✅ Important: We never touch the money you already get from labels, distributors, or PROs.
