Once you have paid your one-time fee of $15 USD, you’ll earn royalties the same way you would with any other release. Your initial fee goes toward paying royalties to the original writers.
Every time your cover song is sold as a digital download in the United States, we’ll take 9.1¢ USD and pay it to the original writers. For songs over 5 minutes, we’ll take 1.75¢ USD for each minute (rounded up) to be paid out.
For example, if your song is 4 minutes and 33 seconds, we’ll take 9.1¢ USD for each download. If your song is 6 minutes and 14 seconds, we’ll take 12.3¢ USD for each download (1.75¢ USD multiplied by 7 minutes).
