A song about career planning

Thanks for the video, Nia! I liked it.

This is great!

(Not sure if you already know this, but posting it in case it's helpful to anyone) Not-so-pro tip: your distributor only pays your sound recording royalties; streaming services send the mechanical and/or performance royalties for the underlying musical composition to a CMO (such as PRS for Music in the UK) which pays you separately.

On Spotify, composition royalties are about 1/5 of the share of revenue that Spotify pays to the owners of sound recordings, so realistically, it's probably just a few extra cents from streaming alone. But I feel like it's a good practice to claim them anyway. Enrolling a song in a CMO also enables the song to be played at live venues (e.g. if an EAG/x conference wanted to play the song, they'd license it through the CMO and you'd get paid).

@Daniel_Dewey, can you prove this song wrong?
