How to Take Back Your Ownership 🔓 Step 1: Understand the value of your work. Your beats, songs, and ideas are assets—not disposable. Step 2: Learn the business. If you don’t know what you’re signing, they’ll make sure it benefits them, not you. Step 3: Never sign away your publishing or masters without a HUGE payout—or better yet, don’t at all. Step 4: Use split sheets to lock in your percentages before the song drops. No excuses. Step 5: Register your work with a PRO (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC) to claim your royalties. Step 6: Demand transparency in every deal. Ask where the money is going and who’s getting paid. Step 7: Track your credits. If you’re not credited, you don’t exist when the royalties hit. Step 8: If someone says, “We’ll figure out the splits later,” they’re lying. Handle it upfront. Step 9: Walk away from bad deals. No placement is worth giving up your future income. Step 10: Pass it on. The industry thrives on silence. Break the cycle.
