@thetingtingsofficial: There are pluses and minuses to this and we’re still figuring out what we actually earned, that’s just starting to come in…and publishers might say we gave it away, but on the flip side, 99% of the accounts and small businesses using it would never have created an ad or a sync. If one was to think of it as marketing, getting in front of that many people would’ve cost a fortune..We did it independently from Ibiza- just us and a tiny team-with no extra infrastructure to support the traction we got on TikTok.. maybe our name recognition was a helping factor? It could be good for somewhat established bands off a major label? may be brand new artists also???? #independentartist #independentartists #commercialmusiclibrary

Yesss people need to do this! As a Social Media Manager it's so hard to find good commercial music. It's all so corny and never fits with the tone of the brand. There is SO much opportunity for real artists putting their music on there!

Very smart! I used to run a brand account and finding good/non generic music for posts was a total pain. This is so helpful - hope it led to you getting some coin for it.

Congrats! 👍 It's worth pointing out that TikTok doesn’t pay out royalties based on the number of views but the number of videos using a track regardless of how individual videos perform

I feel like the music industry is going to hit the roof with all the independents being in control of their own art. Keep at it. It’s time for the monopoly to stop

I run a brand account, can confirm I used your sound and was wondering if it was meant to be in the commercial section as you where one of the only bands I had actually heard off in the section. Super interesting to hear the results!

This is sooo interesting. My account is labeled as a brand or creator (forget which) so my music options are limited in terms of mainstream music . I never thought about the benefit to indie artists who leverage the commercial side of TikTok’s music tool. I teach music biz to students at nyu, and a few of my students tend to be artists. Will share this strategy next semester. Thanks for sharing and kudos!
