Set up your creator account
To earn Song Coins, you must first register as a verified creator on the platform. This step establishes your identity and links your earnings to a withdrawable account. Without a verified profile, you cannot receive or transfer Song Coins, regardless of your activity level.
Create your profile
Start by navigating to the official creator portal and selecting "Sign Up." Use a valid email address that you check regularly, as all verification and payout notifications are sent here. During registration, choose a unique username that reflects your brand or content style, as this will be your public identifier for Song Coin transactions.
Verify your identity
Platform security requires identity verification before you can access earning features. Upload a government-issued ID and complete the selfie check if prompted. This process prevents fraud and ensures that Song Coins are credited to real, accountable users.
Complete the checklist
Before you start earning, ensure your account is fully configured:
-
Email address confirmed via verification link
-
Government ID approved in the security settings
-
Payout method (bank account or digital wallet) linked
-
Creator agreement signed electronically
-
Two-factor authentication enabled for account security
Once your status changes to "Verified Creator," you are ready to begin earning Song Coins through content creation and community engagement.
Upload your AI-generated track
To earn Song Coins, you must follow a strict upload protocol that separates your AI-generated music from standard human-created content. The platform uses automated detection to verify the origin of your audio, so accuracy at this stage is the only way to ensure your royalties aren't delayed or rejected.
Prepare your audio file
Export your final mix as a high-quality WAV or FLAC file. MP3 files are generally accepted but may trigger additional compression checks that slow down processing. Ensure your metadata—title, artist name, and ISRC (if you have one)—is embedded directly into the file headers before you begin the upload. This metadata is what links your track to your Song Coins wallet.
Create your AI disclosure entry
During the upload process, you will encounter a mandatory disclosure section. You must select "AI-Generated" or "AI-Assisted" depending on the specific tools used in your creation pipeline. This tag is not optional; omitting it can result in immediate removal of the track and a temporary suspension of your earning privileges. Be specific in the description box about which AI models contributed to the composition or mastering.
Submit and verify
Once you submit the file, the system will run a background analysis. This typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will receive a notification when the track is live and eligible for Song Coin accumulation. If the status remains "Pending" for more than 24 hours, check your metadata for errors or contact support with your upload reference ID.
Optimize metadata for visibility
Song Coins are not distributed randomly. They are assigned to tracks based on how well your metadata signals relevance to listeners and algorithms. Think of your metadata as the packaging on a shelf; if the label is unclear or missing key details, the product stays in the warehouse. Proper tagging ensures your song reaches the specific audience actively searching for that sound, which directly increases the likelihood of plays and subsequent coin earnings.
Write precise, searchable descriptions
Your song description should answer exactly what the listener is about to hear. Avoid vague fluff like "vibes" or "chill music." Instead, use concrete descriptors that match common search queries. If your track is an upbeat lo-fi beat for studying, state that clearly. Include the mood, genre, and primary use case. This helps the platform’s recommendation engine categorize your track correctly, placing it in front of users who are filtering for those specific attributes.
Use targeted, relevant tags
Tags act as the primary indexing mechanism for your song. Use the full set of available tags to cover different ways listeners might search. Include broad genre tags (e.g., "Hip Hop") alongside specific sub-genre or mood tags (e.g., "Boom Bap," "Nostalgic," "Instrumental"). Avoid irrelevant trending tags just to gain visibility; this confuses the algorithm and leads to low engagement rates, which hurts your ranking. Accuracy beats volume here. A few precise tags perform better than a dozen generic ones.
Check for consistency across platforms
Ensure your metadata matches what you have on other distribution channels. If your song is listed as "DJ Remix" on Spotify but "Original Mix" on the Song Coins platform, the algorithm may struggle to consolidate your data. Consistent titles, artist names, and release dates help build a coherent profile for your work, making it easier for the system to track performance and distribute coins fairly based on actual listener interest rather than fragmented data.

Track your Song Coin balance
Finding where your earnings sit is the first step to managing your Song Coin balance. You can see your current total in the app’s wallet section, usually tucked behind the main menu or accessible via a floating coin icon on the home screen.
The number you see there isn’t static. Song Coins fluctuate based on daily platform activity, similar to how a stock price changes with market sentiment. This means the value you see today might shift slightly tomorrow as the platform adjusts its internal economy.
To keep things simple, check your balance before attempting any major trades or purchases. If the number looks lower than expected, it’s likely due to recent platform adjustments rather than an error. Regular tracking helps you spot trends and plan your spending or trading accordingly.
Avoid common payout mistakes
Song coins are the lifeblood of your music ecosystem, but they are also the most volatile currency in the digital space. Unlike fiat, they don’t just sit in a bank; they move through complex workflows of minting, distribution, and redemption. One misstep in this chain can bleed your revenue before it ever reaches your account.
Think of your payout pipeline like a historical Song Dynasty mint. Just as a misaligned stamp on a copper coin could render it worthless or cause it to be rejected by merchants, a misconfigured API key or a missed verification deadline can freeze your earnings. The infrastructure is unforgiving of ambiguity.
The first mistake is ignoring the metadata chain. When you mint a track, the metadata must align perfectly with the payout wallet address. If the IPFS hash or the smart contract identifier drifts from your registered profile, the system flags the transaction as orphaned. You aren’t just losing a payment; you are losing the provenance of the work itself. Double-check that your artist profile is linked to the exact wallet address used for minting.
The second error is neglecting the redemption window. Song coins often have expiration cycles tied to platform seasons or fiscal quarters. Holding onto coins too long without converting them into usable credits or fiat equivalents is a silent killer of revenue. Set calendar reminders for these deadlines. Treat your coin balance like a perishable asset, not a savings account.
The third pitfall is manual entry errors in bulk payouts. When distributing earnings to collaborators, even a single digit typo in a wallet address can send funds into the void. Always use the platform’s built-in distribution tools rather than manual transfers. These tools validate addresses in real-time, acting as a final gatekeeper against costly errors. A small upfront verification step saves hours of support ticket chasing later.
