Challenge: The 2-Day Rights & Royalties Audit

Ensure your next playlist placement results in a payday. Audit one song's backend in 48 hours.

This hyper-focused challenge walks you through a crucial business audit. You will verify the registration and metadata for one of your released songs to ensure it is properly set up to collect all potential royalties.

The plan, day by day

1. Day 1Choose one released song. Verify its registration with your PRO (e.g., ASCAP, BMI) and your publisher or publishing administrator. Confirm the writer and publisher splits are correct. For the Emotional Resonance check, write a one-sentence 'sync pitch' for the song describing its core feeling.
2. Day 2Leverage AI. Use an AI-powered metadata suggestion tool to analyze your track. Compare its suggested genre, mood, and BPM tags to the metadata you submitted via your distributor. Update your metadata for better algorithmic discoverability and sync searchability.
