@@MusicMoneyMakeoverhey casey your right songtrust don't answer there phone I have a good amount of songs with them but moving forward I'm done with them I do have a music reports account I don't have a hfa and mlc account I do have a pro I'm with bmi also I have an soundexchange account so if I was to register a song I have I have to register my song with music reports, mlc, hfa, soundexchange and bmi? Also don't music reports and mlc do the same thing?
@@MusicMoneyMakeover How do I pull my songs from songtrust? I joined about 3 years ago, but now with the ID verify they have, I don't feel comfortable submitting that info to a third party.
You are saving money, sanity and lives out here. Thank you for not only getting in the trenches but climbing out and putting your hand down to others and helping others get their due. You are not just teaching DIY but ultimately CYA!
Sup CG? I booked a 1 hour with you next Wednesday. This is definitely the direction my associates and I going. Once again great video. Can’t wait to speak with you next week. 🙏🏾💪🏾👍🏾
Dude. This segment about "so and so picks up the phone..." what a GREAT point. Great point. This information is exactly what I've been looking for. I think I will sign up for this course some time soon. Thank you thank you! ✨
Casey, thanks for honestly educating us indies. Last year i spent some time trying to break free from attached publishers at the Distributor. It is a tedious process, but with Jesus' help, strength and diligent work ethic im slowly starting to see changes like...monthly publishing distributions. When i started watching MusicMoneyMakeover, i had done everything except Harry Fox or SongTrust. I've since weighed the options and decided i do not want the middleman getting a piece of my funds. Over the past 10-15yrs ive been helping the artists i produce become educated & aware It's RUclipsrs like you and a few others who share honestly. Thank you!!!
I’m glad I came across your RUclips channel years ago. You’re the truth when it comes to knowing and educating in an understanding way about the music business. My artist just dropped an EP, I’ma schedule a call soon.
i couldnt come up with a good reason to pay someone (songtrust) to charge me a percentage to collect what i collect for myself. then again, ive been following don passman for a good 25-30yrs. thanks to him i know better.
Please make a video about Neighboring Rights , (Songtrust) They haven't been registering works since December 2022, and their contract includes a post-term clause, allowing them to collect for an additional year after cancellation.

@@azo9156 For anybody still wondering if you are in a PRO outside of USA , you don't need Publisher to collect Publishing Royalties your PRO , will pay both , + Mechanicals
I agree with everything you say, but I think you are missing out on international publishing royalties, not mechanicals. The only practical way I know to collect them is with sub publisher deals which will cost you 15% or so. It's still better than Songtrust etc. but not free.
Here's my twist. I'm in Canada, and here we're advised to use SOCAN as our MRO, but add ASCAP or BMI etc along side our Composition registrations. Same deal with reciprocals as with the US, but from the other end. As a Canadian, doing my own publishing and getting my masters distributed, would I still do all the other account setups (MLC, Harry Fox, Music Reports, Sound Exchange, and Distributor)? ie. Can Canadians register with all those other accounts?
Great video! Just for clarification in your book The 60 Day Record Label Executive Edition you cover the order in which to create your LLC as well as the order in which a person should create their different accounts pertaining to royalty collection demonstrated at 2:23 in this video?
If I started out of order and published my music first. Will it be a tougher process to get the publishing money and neighboring rights money. Or should I pull my music from the publishing service and start from scratch?
You not going to negotiate anything with songtrust. It set and forget. If you wan to be independent you'll have to do it your self. Which is what I advertise all the time.
@@MusicMoneyMakeover ok great another question I want to ask signing up with hfa I go to signup then I click on publisher and fill out the application to become a hfa member right?
Questions; much respect to you and your wisdom. Instead of LLC can I use S Corp? And Instead of a record Label what about a multimedia company music videos/ music / merch/ movies etc… ? Also I peek your course and I’m about to delay all my releases and projects until I properly review it and implement it. Thanks in advance.
@@MusicMoneyMakeover I’ve been doing some research and I have been seeing there seem to be better perks. But again I need to cross reference some other sources. Lastly I’ll definitely be ready to check you out at the end of May. I will dedicate my 60 day course for Summertime. I don’t party; I only create. Much Respect Fam.
I have been on your page for a long time I just started working with a new artist that is very serious and young and talented he produced all his records we definitely looking to synch and do other big major stuff I would love to get your book and stay in contact with you
So what happens if years down the line you stop doing anything and the LLC is dissolved either by you or a judicial court? Wouldn't all of your copyrights get caught up in that dissolution if they all have been filed in the name of the LLC?
My concerns and Big question also, not to mention, CA Charges an ANNUAL $800 "Fee" just "Because..." whether you are a foreign LLC or Domestic LLC, (you've got to pay it ANYWAY), whether you making money or not! I'll wait for an answer...
If I buy all of the courses, that’s almost $600.00. Are there any of your courses that are complete enough for me to start my business without spending half a grand? Thank you for your time.
No, The MLC is. HFA will collect form Lyric FInd and MusixMatch plus take care of your foreign streaming mechanicals that get collected by other foreign agencies.
thanks for the information, but in reality, I'm just waiting to find out that you'll do all of this for a smaller percentage, but end up with the entire new black wave. let me know when this is happening. ,
@kirbydtrim The game is changing and being black while doing business with black is about to be the coolest thing ever. if the known play becomes to ally with you for a full-service package with a smaller percentage, you become what we thought diddy would've been. take the entire game, it's coming.@@MusicMoneyMakeover

Thank you sir for being an educator in this business. 🙏🏼
Anytime. You’re welcome
I’m curious what you think about TooLost as a distributor for indie artist, cuz it has a lot in it - copyright, sound exchange, etc.
Same, great question
Is the course applicable for international creators?
Gratitude
hey bro quick question i am outside the us i want to register my llc in the us which one of these websites can you recommend that is good
thank you
Great video. Thank you
Does your course help with Artists outside the states…like things like forming an LLC?

You not going to negotiate anything with songtrust. It set and forget. If you wan to be independent you'll have to do it your self. Which is what I advertise all the time.
So to get a better understanding for one song I have to register my song to music reports,mlc and hfa and soundexchange correct?
Yes
@@MusicMoneyMakeover ok great another question I want to ask signing up with hfa I go to signup then I click on publisher and fill out the application to become a hfa member right?
What if you already with songtrust? And can Canadian signed up for those companies as well?
Just wondering how does the song get registered worldwide if not using a song trust n doing alone? Since they state they register it global.
CD Baby Pro Publishing service was discontinued as of Aug 8 2023. - Weird that this video was made 7 months later.

Can you buy the 60 day plan if you’re an existing label 3 years old?
Absolutely. Chances are your structure may be off a bit and you need to shape things. Which is the case most of the time for existing labels.
if I pay your course, how long it last the access to the tutorials ???
Lifetime access
