Backed by Persistence Prevails — 700K+ subs

A revenue stream hiding
inside every Short you post.

YouTube splits Shorts ad revenue between a Creator Pool and a Music Pool. Most creators only ever see the first one. Use our catalog in your Shorts and we'll share the Music Pool with you — starting at 50/50.

How it works

Three steps. That's the whole partnership.

No plugins, no new software, no changes to the way you make Shorts. You just swap the background music.

01

Apply & get approved

Submit your channel for review. We vet for quality and niche fit. If approved, you get the catalog and your partner dashboard.

02

Use our catalog

Search for "Aeloria" on YouTube's audio library and drop our tracks into your Shorts as background audio. Upload exactly like you normally do. Nothing else about your workflow changes.

03

Get paid monthly

We track the Music Pool revenue your videos generate on the backend and pay your tiered share directly, on a reliable monthly schedule.

The math

Where does Shorts ad revenue actually go?

YouTube doesn't pay Shorts creators like long-form. The ad revenue gets pooled, then split in two. Here's the part most creators miss.

Pool 1

Creator Pool

Distributed to Shorts creators based on views. This is your normal Shorts ad revenue.

Goes to youUnchanged
Pool 2

Music Pool

Paid to rights-holders of music used in Shorts. Usually routed to major labels and their artists. You normally see $0 of this.

Goes to rights-holdersWe own ours → we share with you
We own 100% of our master rights. When you use our tracks, YouTube pays the Music Pool allocation directly to us. We share it with you. Your Creator Pool earnings don't change — this is purely additional backend revenue on top of what you already make.
Why creators partner with us

Built by YouTubers. Structured like a partnership.

Tiered revenue share

Everyone starts at 50/50. As your viewership grows, you unlock higher tiers and keep a larger percentage of the music revenue.

Unmonetized? Still earn.

You don't need to be in the YouTube Partner Program. Unmonetized channels can start generating backend music revenue on day one.

Zero impact on your RPM

Your regular Creator Pool earnings stay exactly the same. This is bonus income pulled from a pool you were giving away to big labels anyway.

Transparent tracking

Every approved creator gets a dashboard showing exactly how much music revenue their videos generated, broken down per video, per month.

Reliable monthly payouts

Secure, on-schedule transfers. No vague timelines, no "next quarter" excuses. You earn it, we pay it.

By YouTubers, for YouTubers

We run channels too. We understand the algorithm, the grind, the metrics that matter. This isn't a label — it's a creator network.

Tiered revenue share

The bigger you grow, the more you keep.

Approved creators start at 50%. As performance scales, your share of the Music Pool does too.

Real numbers

One Short. Two revenue streams.

Both screenshots below are from the exact same video — a partner Short with 4.7 million views. Left: what YouTube paid the creator in ad revenue. Right: what the same video generated in Music Pool revenue through our network.

This is the backend music revenue from the same video — money that would have gone to a major label. Because we own the masters, we share it with the creator.

Individual results vary. Actual earnings depend on your RPM, niche, viewer geography, video performance, and other factors. These screenshots show one high-performing video as an example of what's possible — not a guarantee of typical results.

FAQ

Honest answers to the questions creators actually ask.

Is this against YouTube's Terms of Service?
No. Using licensed background music in your videos is standard practice — it's exactly what every audio library on YouTube is designed for. You're using tracks we legally own and license to you. There's nothing grey about it.
Does this lower my regular Shorts ad revenue (RPM)?
No. Your Creator Pool earnings are calculated independently and are unaffected. The Music Pool is a completely separate bucket — one you normally don't touch at all. Partnering with us simply routes a share of that second pool to you.
How do I know how much I'm actually earning?
Every approved creator gets a partner dashboard showing Music Pool revenue per video and per month, sourced directly from our backend reports. Payouts match what you see in the dashboard, every time.
My channel isn't in the YouTube Partner Program. Can I still earn?
Yes. You don't need YPP to receive Music Pool payouts through us. Unmonetized channels can start earning on day one — for many creators this is literally the first revenue their channel produces.
Do I have to be exclusive? Can I use other music too?
No exclusivity. You can keep using other music in videos where it fits. You only earn Music Pool revenue from videos where you use our catalog — which is the fair way to do it.
How big does my channel need to be to get approved?
There's no hard subscriber minimum. We care more about content quality, consistency, and niche fit than raw size. We've onboarded channels at many different stages — what matters is whether the partnership makes sense for both sides.
When do payouts happen and how?
Payouts run on a monthly schedule. Once approved, you'll set your preferred payout method during onboarding. You'll always see a full breakdown in your dashboard before the transfer lands.
What happens if I stop using the catalog?
You simply stop earning Music Pool revenue from new videos. Nothing is clawed back, your existing videos keep generating revenue for as long as they perform, and you can leave the network at any time with no penalty.

Every Short you post is leaving money in the Music Pool.
