This course gives you a clear, beginner-friendly roadmap to getting your songs onto streaming platforms the right way, while protecting your ownership and ensuring you get paid.

Then, we’ll walk through preparing your music for release — from split sheets and metadata to file formats and upload steps. Finally, you’ll learn how to read your royalty statements, spot errors, and understand the flow of money from stream to payout. If you’ve ever said: “I just want to upload my music and get paid.” This is the course that shows you how—simply and clearly.
