After getting your music online for the world to hear, the next most exciting part is getting paid for it. Spinnup pays artists 100% of the royalties earned from their music, which will be credited to your artist account in your monthly sales reports. Royalty reporting can seem like a tricky business, but once you’ve received your first sales report with Spinnup, you’ll receive one every month, like clockwork.
When do I get my first sales report?
Spinnup receives monthly sales reports from all stores and these reports are delivered by the stores on an (approximately) 60-day delay from the end of the month your sales took place in. For example, if you released a single in the middle of January, and it started being downloaded and streamed in that month, you will see your sales reports and receive your earnings for January at the end of March, as that is approximately 60 days from the end of January.
What about all my future sales reports?
After your first sales report, all future sales reports will come in each month, at the end of the month.
Where do I find my sales report?
Your sales reports are available in the Earnings section of your artist account under Sales reports. You can also find your current balance of earnings at all times in the top left corner of the Overview screen in your artist account.
When can I withdraw my earnings?
Once you have a balance of at least €10, you will be able to withdraw your earnings into your PayPal or bank account. Spinnup does not take any percentage of your royalties or earnings.
Make sure to get familiar with how the sales reports work and how to understand the format.
