When you monetize directly on SoundCloud, you keep 100% of those earnings. The more fans listen to your music, the more you get paid.

How do I monetize a track?

Please note: Premier is now a legacy offer. If you've recently upgraded to Artist Pro and want to monetize on SoundCloud for Artists, please go here.

If you're part of Premier, you can decide to monetize just one track or multiple.

• Go to the track you want to monetize
• Click the pencil under the waveform
• Go to the Monetization tab
• Enable Monetization by checking the Monetization option
• Select your username for each territory
• Enter necessary details on the Metadata tab
• Save your changes

Can I upload a track without an ISRC code? 

Yes, you can! However, when uploading your track, you will need to uncheck the monetization option in the Monetization tab. This way, the ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) won't be required anymore.

Can I monetize the same material I already monetize via another service?

Yes, you can! Your agreement with SoundCloud Premier is non-exclusive, and you retain all of your rights, so it’s possible to monetize your tracks on other platforms.

In fact, now we can help you to do that with our new distribution and promotion dashboard, SoundCloud for Artists. Find out more here.

How can I cancel SoundCloud Premier Monetization?

You can stop monetizing your tracks at any time by simply disabling the monetization for a track via your tracks page. You can control monetization for each track or turn it off for all tracks. Once you have stopped monetization for a track, you will receive the last payout with the next payout cycle.

Should you want to leave the program, please get in touch.
