Monetize › Rights & royalties admin
Identifyy
Rights-matching collection service (operated by HAAWK) that claims and monetizes uses of your recordings across YouTube; Facebook/Instagram matching is enabled only for accounts already earning on YouTube. Free to join with a 70/30 split in the artist's favor; payouts are quarterly with roughly a four-month lag and a $100 minimum balance.
- Best for
- Artists whose music gets reused on YouTube. Rights holders with a fully original, exclusively controlled catalog that is frequently used in user-generated videos but lacks Content ID administration through a distributor or label.
- Skip if
- Your catalog has zero YouTube reuse. Your music contains nonexclusive beats, royalty-free loops, stock sounds, uncleared samples, covers or Creative Commons material—or if you want a short, easily canceled agreement and responsive support.
- First move
- Register your top three tracks and watch a month of claims. Confirm that no label, distributor or previous administrator already submitted the tracks to Content ID. Test a small group of fully eligible recordings, whitelist your own channels and approved partners, and document the agreement date and cancellation window.
- Watch out
- Payouts are quarterly with roughly a four-month lag and a $100 minimum balance; Facebook/Instagram matching isn't automatic — it's gated on your YouTube earnings.
