SoundCloud Improves Monetization Process for Artists
SoundCloud’s New Monetization Update Streamlines Revenue Generation for Artists
SoundCloud has rolled out a simplified monetization feature for Next Pro users, allowing them to activate revenue generation directly during the upload process. This update removes the previous hurdles, making it possible for eligible artists to opt into monetization with just one click. At this stage, the feature is only available to artists who have previously monetized a track and does not yet support multi-track uploads.
