What I Learned from YT Music’s Pricing that can ☝ our conversion rate Recently, I came across the pricing page of YouTube Music, and it offered some fascinating insights into its strategy. ✅ 1. Anchor Pricing ▪️ YouTube Music highlights a 1-month free trial alongside multiple pricing options for 1, 3, and 12 months. This makes the free trial an obvious choice for users to start with. ▪️But here’s the question: Why would they make the free trial a no-brainer? ✅ 2. The Autopay Effect ▪️While the 1-month free trial is enticing, it requires users to set up autopay for a recurring monthly plan. And that’s where the catch lies. ▪️Not everyone remembers to cancel the subscription after the trial ends, resulting in autopayments kicking in. Sure, some users cancel after the first month. But many likely forget, at least for a few months, generating incremental revenue. ✅ Key Takeaways for Subscription Businesses If you’re running an app subscription model, here are two experiments worth testing: ▪️Offer a free or low-cost trial but require autopay setup to start. ▪️Don’t present the free trial as a standalone option. Instead, show it alongside other pricing plans to emphasize its value and make it stand out. PS: Do you think it will improve the conversion rate? 👇 ❤️ Be nice & REPOST to help others learn from it :) #performancemarketing #cro #pricing #conversionrate #landingpage

The Future of Royalty Payments The music industry has a transparency issue. Despite its rapid growth and the rise of digital platforms, a significant portion of royalties—amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars—remains unmatched, unpaid, and locked in what’s known as "The Black Box." (Hypebot, 2024) These are earnings that creators have generated but cannot access due to inefficiencies in traditional royalty distribution systems. For creators, this is more than just an inconvenience–it's a barrier to fair pay and actualized value. The problem lies in the gaps: incomplete data, mismatched records, and complex, slow processes that fail to connect creators with their earnings. These inefficiencies hinder not only creators but the entire industry, leaving untapped potential on the table. SHARE: Payments Reimagined Transforming payments with solutions built for modern enterprises. Smart Contracts: Customizable payout agreements that automatically distribute earnings. No Black Boxes: Transparent transactions recorded on a decentralized ledger, simplifying accounting. Real-Time Payouts: Instant payments as revenue flows, allowing creators to focus on their craft instead of chasing royalties. Empowering Creators, Redefining Payments SHARE replaces inefficiency with transparency and makes it simple to distribute and access earnings.

🎵 Unmatched Royalties: Progress and Challenges 🎵 100+ indie distributors across 20 countries have joined the MLC’s data portal to tackle unmatched royalties—a promising step. But many issues remain unresolved, especially for artists navigating registration hurdles. 🔍 Common Pitfalls in Publishing Registration Using “[YourName] Publishing” creates overlap and confusion. Arbitrary names like "Poo Poo Butts LLC" (yes, Blink-182!) may be fun but can complicate sync licensing deals. Pro Tip: Choose a publishing name that’s distinct, professional, and clearly linked to your identity. ✨ How CreateBase Helps Artists We simplify royalty collection with clear, effective solutions.
