Many songwriters have ambitions to have signed a music publishing contract, but many do not know exactly what it means and what it means. Publishing is a crucial aspect of your career and remains the heart of today`s ever-changing musical activity, since it all starts with the song. And editing can be quite lucrative, so it`s worth asking yourself. Of course, you could do all this administrative and creative work yourself, but most songwriters don`t have the knowledge or propensity to take care of their catalog around the world. You want as much time as possible to write more songs! It should be noted that some administrative cases may come with an advance if you have “pipeline revenues” or if you are threatened with significant activity (. B for example, a big output record). In this case, you do not receive any income until the advance is recovered (as part of the co-publication agreement). But sometimes the percentage the administrator takes when he gives you an advance — so it`s always a good idea to run the numbers. Speaking of numbers, suppose you have a song that you wrote yourself on a record that sells a million times in the United States.
This generates $91,000 in mechanical royalties (1,000,000 copies x 9.1 cents as the current mechanical rate in the United States). Under a co-publication agreement, you would see $68,250 of that income as your 75%. With a 10% administration agreement for domestic income, you would see $81,900 of that income. The difference is $13,650. That`s a big difference. So choose your offers carefully, but the most important thing is that you take care of a company that you think is your partner. Nothing can surpass the strength of an excellent working relationship.
