Get Paid on YouTube: A Masterclass for Independent Artists

Wednesday, August 26, 2026  |  3:00 PM EST  |  Zoom

Uploading your music to YouTube is easy. Turning that catalog into a channel that grows, protects your rights, and actually pays you is where most independent artists get stuck.

 

Join Symphonic for a masterclass built for artists who are ready to treat YouTube like the revenue engine it can be. We will walk through how the platform really works, from setting up your channel the right way to making sure every view, upload, and fan video is working in your favor.

 

In this masterclass, you’ll discover:

Channel Foundations: Learn how to build and structure your YouTube presence from the ground up, whether you are starting fresh or cleaning up a channel you have let sit. We will cover the setup choices that shape how your music gets found and how your brand shows up to new listeners.

Your Music Across YouTube: Understand how your catalog actually lives on the platform, from your official uploads to the fan videos and Shorts using your sound. Learn how Content ID connects your music to views happening all over YouTube so those plays start counting toward your revenue.

Rights and Claims, Demystified: Get a clear, practical breakdown of how ownership, claims, and the dispute process work on YouTube. We will show you how to read a claim, when to dispute it, and how to keep control of your catalog.

Make the Algorithm Work for You: Stop guessing at what YouTube rewards. Learn how discovery actually works across Search, Suggested, and Shorts, and the practical moves that signal your music deserves a bigger audience.

Live Q&A: We will close with an open session so you can get direct answers on your channel, your rights, and your monetization strategy.
