What Is The Social Media Monetization Release Extra?

Opting into the Social Media Monetization extra ensures you receive royalties from videos on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook that feature your music at upload (user-generated content, or UGC). 

If your song is embedded in a video during upload—not added later from a music library—you'll receive a share of the ad revenue (minus 20%) directly into your eMastered royalty balance.

To activate it, make sure it is checked on the "review," page of your distribution submission form:

Once applied, eMastered syncs your track to UGC matching systems to track usage and earnings across platforms.

Note that This Add On renews annually per release.
