Lickd
Licensing service that lets YouTube creators use commercial releases claim-free for a per-use fee shared with rights holders; artists opt in through partnered distributors such as Too Lost.
- Best for
- Passive creator-sync income on top of normal releases. Artists whose label or distributor already delivers music to Lickd and who want additional revenue from creators licensing tracks for YouTube and branded social content.
- Skip if
- You are self-released and need a direct submission route, your distributor does not send music to Lickd, want traditional film and television sync pitching or expect Lickd to actively pitch individual songs to music supervisors.
- First move
- Ask your distributor whether it delivers to Lickd. Ask your distributor whether it supplies music to Lickd and whether participation is opt-in. Confirm your payout percentage, eligible territories, rights granted and how individual licenses appear in royalty statements.
- Watch out
- Income depends on creators choosing your track — treat it as a bonus stream, not a plan.
