Monetization with Meta's Rights Manager is part of our annually charged DistroKid Album Extra, Social Media Pack, that gets you paid when other people use your music in their content on Instagram and Facebook.
Here's how it works:
- First, opt-into Social Media Pack in the DistroKid upload form. You'll see pricing information there. Price is per release (album or single). You can also opt-in a release after it's been uploaded to DistroKid, if you prefer.
- Once you've opted in, DistroKid will add your music to Meta's Rights Manager database. This is Meta's system that's able to identify when your music appears in any content on Instagram or Facebook. Here's more info about Rights Manager from Meta.
- When Meta detects your music in content, monetization (ads) will be turned-on for that content. If there is a text or banner ad on the content and the watcher clicks on the text or banner, or if there is a commercial before or after the video and the watcher watches up to 30 seconds or the entire commercial, ad revenue is collected.
- The ad revenue (minus 20%) will go to you, instead of the person who uploaded the video. These earnings will be shown in your DistroKid "Bank" tab.
