Channel Management & Monetisation

After partnering your channel with our music network on YouTube (SRAV), your channel gains the ability to monetise content as music-video assets. This results in significantly higher monetisation rates and allows the backend of YouTube to properly recognise your content as an official music upload. YouTube pays out higher rates across YouTube Premium when content is monetised as a music video, which is a feature that can only be enabled by joining a music network. Most commonly, this alone results in a double digit percentage growth in revenue

How does my content make money?

Every platform has a different methodology for paying out and calculating revenue

YouTube monetises content through running advertising alongside your content. Revenue is paid out based on the amount of ad revenue generated alongside your content.

Rates for YouTube monetisation can often fluctuate, depending on a number of factors such as;

  • What country your music is being viewed in. For instance, if a view is coming from the United States or Australia, this will yield a higher rate than if your content was viewed in a lower paying territory like India.
  • Ad suitability and advertiser friendliness of your content. YouTube prioritises ad serving across brand-safe and clean content
  • If someone watching your content has subscribed to YouTube Premium, revenue is calculated based on the amount of

    amount of minutes watched

  • The time of year your content is watched in. During December and Q4 for instance, advertisers typically pay a lot more for advertising as there is more competition.

 

  • Facebook – royalties paid out based on production events and weighted per territory. A production event is when your music is used in Facebook or Instagram’s audio library. Regardless of how many views the video has, the same royalty is paid out. 
  • TikTok – royalties paid out based on production events. Similarly, a production event is when someone creates a TikTok video using your song.
