The backend of the
Shorts economy.

100+ creators earning every single month

Two revenue streams from every Short. Your ad revenue stays untouched — the Music Pool share is stacked on top, tracked to the dollar.

Every video, tracked to the dollar

Register a Short in your portal and watch its Music Pool revenue accumulate — per video, per month, sourced from our backend reports.

How the tracking works

1 · Register oncePaste your Short's link in the portal. That video is now tied to your account — nothing to install, nothing to re-upload.
2 · We match the backend reportsEach month our distributor reports Music Pool revenue per track. We map it to your registered videos — per video, per month.
3 · The payout matches the dashboardYou see exactly which videos earned what before the transfer is sent. What the dashboard shows is what lands.

Registered videos keep earning for as long as they perform — back catalog included. No claims are ever placed on your channel.

What could your Shorts add?

Pick your tier, drag to your monthly views. Everyone starts at 50/50 — sustained performance moves you up.

Real numbers

One Short. Two payouts.

Individual results vary. Earnings depend on RPM, niche, viewer geography and video performance. This is one high-performing video — an example of what's possible, not a guarantee.

The math

Where Shorts money actually flows.

YouTube pools Shorts ad revenue, then splits it in two. You've only ever seen the first pool. We own our masters — so the second one comes back to you.

02

Find the track in your portal, then search the exact title in YouTube's audio library and drop it into your Shorts as background audio. Upload exactly like you normally do.

03

Get paid monthly

We track the Music Pool revenue your videos generate on the backend and pay your tiered share directly, on a reliable monthly schedule.

FAQ

Honest answers to the questions creators actually ask.

Is this against YouTube's Terms of Service?
No. Using licensed background music in your videos is standard practice — it's exactly what every audio library on YouTube is designed for. You're using tracks we legally own and license to you. There's nothing grey about it.
Does this lower my regular Shorts ad revenue (RPM)?
No. Your Creator Pool earnings are calculated independently and are unaffected. The Music Pool is a completely separate bucket — one you normally don't touch at all. Partnering with us simply routes a share of that second pool to you.
How do I know how much I'm actually earning?
Every approved creator gets a partner dashboard showing Music Pool revenue per video and per month, sourced directly from our backend reports. Payouts match what you see in the dashboard, every time.
My channel isn't in the YouTube Partner Program. Can I still earn?
Yes. You don't need YPP to receive Music Pool payouts through us. Unmonetized channels can start earning on day one — for many creators this is literally the first revenue their channel produces.
Do I have to be exclusive? Can I use other music too?
No exclusivity. You can keep using other music in videos where it fits. You only earn Music Pool revenue from videos where you use our catalog — which is the fair way to do it.
How big does my channel need to be to get approved?
There's no hard subscriber minimum. We care more about content quality, consistency, and niche fit than raw size. We've onboarded channels at many different stages — what matters is whether the partnership makes sense for both sides.
When do payouts happen and how?
Payouts run on a monthly schedule. Once approved, you'll set your preferred payout method during onboarding. You'll always see a full breakdown in your dashboard before the transfer lands.
What happens if I stop using the catalog?
You simply stop earning Music Pool revenue from new videos. Nothing is clawed back, your existing videos keep generating revenue for as long as they perform, and you can leave the network at any time with no penalty.

Every Short you post is leaving money in the Music Pool.
