While most distributors only offer 1 one way of monetizing and uploading to Soundcloud, LabelGrid offers provides an additional method that allows full complete control over how your content appears on Soundcloud.

...

The API method is the one that gives you the most control. When you use this method to post to Soundcloud (use toolbar item "Post to Soundcloud"), your track will be posted directly to your own Soundcloud profile. You can post to any Soundcloud account for which you have a login. We will request you to grant LabelGrid permission to post on your behalf, and then the Soundcloud account will appear in the Sent to Soundcloud form inside LabelGrid.

To authenticate your SoundCloud account in LabelGrid, check out this guide.

Note

Note: If you want to monetize your API uploads automatically, make sure to check the "Enable Soundcloud Monetization" checkbox in your label settings.

...

Soundcloud will also post your tracks to either a generic artist page if they do not have a match on the artist already , or directly to the artist's profile if they do have an authorized match. Unfortunately, there is no control on over how or where the listing appears after that. You cannot edit or takedown the tracks without issuing the takedown or change request via the feed.

To post tracks via this method, utilize the "Send to Shops" tool bar item and then make sire sure "Soundcloud Monetization" appears in your DSP list.

...

Non-monetized uploads have no ads running on them bring , bringing in no revenue from the Soundcloud platform. If you wish for none of your music to be enabled for monetization, go into your label settings and ensure that "Soundcloud Monetization" is turned off, for each label in your LabelGrid account

...

If this is your first time with us, please go to Monetization - sign up. After monetization is confirmed for your account, you can monetize any of your content using either of the Soundcloud posting methods.
