The Royalty Registration Sprint

Secure your song's financial future in three days.

This focused 3-day challenge guides you through the essential steps of registering a key song to ensure it is set up to collect all potential royalties.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Execute The Split Sheet. Finalize and have all collaborators digitally sign a split sheet for one of your unreleased songs. Document writer shares and publishing ownership clearly. If you are a solo creator, create one for your own records.
  2. Day 2Register The Work. Log into your PRO account (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC) and register the song from Day 1. Ensure all writer and publisher information is 100% accurate. Does the title of the work effectively hint at its emotional core for someone browsing a database?
  3. Day 3Generate AI Metadata. Using an AI tool, generate a list of 20-30 descriptive keywords and tags for your song. Include mood, instrumentation, tempo, and potential use cases (e.g., 'uplifting corporate,' 'breakup scene'). Add this metadata to your track files.
