About
Setup help you can run yourself.
Independent musicians release more music than ever, and the affiliation paperwork still trips people up. Royalty Ready is a guided checklist for The MLC, ASCAP or BMI (writer), and SoundExchange — without taking your rights, collecting your money, or charging a cut of royalties.
You file everything
Official society sites only. We provide steps and links. We never log in or submit for you.
No cut of royalties
Flat product prices only ($49 kit or $12/mo). No success fee. No percentage of anything societies pay you.
Honest about AI
Guides may be drafted with AI and checked against official help pages. There is no human review of your catalog. You confirm what you file.
Why this exists
Survey research has found large shares of songwriters are not set up with a mechanical rights organisation. Self-serve paths at The MLC and writer PROs are free or low-cost — people still get stuck on the steps. We teach those steps. We don't chase unmatched pools.
Context: MIDiA Songwriter survey (self-selected sample; not a promise of outcomes)
The team
Royalty Detective is in preview. Sandbox Stripe checkout is wired for the $49 kit and $12/mo membership so we can test the funnel before live charges.
