Yesterday I got a royalty statement from my PRO, showing royalties from Straya for a track signed to a very Taxi friendly library. It took about a year to make it through, which I think is not too bad, considered the PRO hopping it needed to do

Awesome...my first one was £6.80 in November 2018, it sure takes a long time to build up

This one was a Middle Eastern tension, that so far has racked up 4 unique placements

I received around 12 quid, which is largely more than my music streaming royalties

That is great Marco..the first one is exciting, I remember my first one from a long time ago cause I used the money to buy my truck that I still own.
....but then my last one in May was 10 cents...

Not bad ! ..it's more about the excitement at this stage , that someone somewhere picked your track out of all the things they could have chosen and you eventually got paid for it !

Congrats - That first one is a great feeling.
My first royalty was in April 2017 - or so I thought
I saw tracks in my PRO (PRS) registrations had been set as paying out but come the glorious day I got zilch as I hadn't reached the threshold for a payment - the royalty was something like £14 and the threshold $30 at that time.
It took some of the joy out of it but it was still cool and I got my first actual payment in the next quarter (about £100) so it was like 2 first times in a way.
Anyway enjoy and more to come no doubt

Cheers, Andre! Wow, you bought a truck with your first royalty money, incredible! Those were the days, huh?

Yes, indeed. However, I am expecting more, in my next statement, at least for those placements Tunesat has detected

Cheers, pal. This statement included all my music streaming royalties from 2019 until now, too. Which, as I said, are negligible compared to that single telly one, but still

Congrats, Marco! I hope the trickle will become a river...
Cheers! Hehe there is more to come!
