What Does a Music Publisher Really Do — And How Can It Boost Your Royalties?

Most artists upload their songs and wait for royalties to roll in. But without a music publisher, you’re likely missing out on a major chunk of income. Here’s what music publishing is all about — and how WavesHit helps you take full control of it.

🧾 What Is a Music Publisher?

A music publisher manages the legal use of your compositions. They work to:

  • Register your songs with rights organizations (BMI, ASCAP, SACM, etc.)
  • Collect royalties from radio, TV, YouTube, live shows, and more
  • Protect your copyrights on a global scale

💸 What Kind of Royalties Are We Talking About?

  • Mechanical Royalties – From physical and digital reproductions
  • Performance Royalties – From radio, venues, bars, gyms, etc.
  • Sync Royalties – From movies, ads, video games, or shows

🌍 How Does WavesHit Help?

WavesHit offers free music publishing services with no loss of ownership. That means:

  • Global registration of your works
  • Royalty tracking and collection from all major territories
  • Transparent reports and automatic payouts

👤 Is This For You?

Definitely, if you’re:

  • A songwriter
  • A beatmaker
  • A producer with original works
  • A band or label releasing original music

If you're creating music, you should be collecting every royalty owed to you — and WavesHit is here to make sure you do.
