YouTube Announces January 16 Deadline for Becoming a YouTube Music Publisher
YouTube offering music publishers and songwriters the opportunity to make money from the use of their music in YouTube videos uploaded by their fans. The deadline to sign up for this offer is January 16.
Earlier this month we shared a post on how independent music artists are making money through viral video, specifically via the Vimeo Video Store. These artists are primarily making money via commissioned projects coming out of their being discovered on Vimeo. YouTube is doing something a little different, offering music publishers and songwriters the opportunity to make money from the use of their music in YouTube videos uploaded by their fans.
How does it work? Basically, YouTube’s Content ID system identifies when someone uploads a video using the artist’s song.
