If your music gets featured in a YouTube<\/a> video, you could be earning revenue from that. Find out how to get your music added to YouTube content ID here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube is the second most popular website in the world. So, you can imagine the astronomical number of views flying around. As an independent musician, every avenue of revenue is important – it all adds up. Being able to earn a passive income<\/a> is fantastic, as it means you can make money whilst focussing on other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Content ID?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

YouTube’s content ID system uses sound assets and matches them to any video on YouTube that is using the same asset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens to the YouTube Video?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It receives a copyright claim on your behalf. The video is then monetized if it isn’t already, and the earnings for your asset is paid to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copyright claims differ to copyright strikes – If a claim is placed, the copyright holder has the option to strike the channel, however this is rare.
For more information on copyright claims and copyright strikes, check out our blog on the differences between the two<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
