YouTube
Your viewers like to see how things work. You can walk them through a song's streaming history, past earnings and risk score on screen.
Social media
You reach people early, in posts, reels and stories. Your link goes in your bio or caption, and every post that promotes Sonomo is labelled as paid.
Communities

Comparison sites
You help readers choose between platforms. We give you approved facts, fees and risk wording, so you can describe Sonomo accurately.
What your audience gets: shares in songs, royalties paid monthly
Music royalties are the income a song earns every time it's streamed. Sonomo lets anyone invest in music royalties by buying shares in songs.
A share of a song's royalties
Each share is a contractual claim on a song's streaming income, governed by Dutch law.
Royalty income every month
Payouts reach investors' Sonomo wallets by the 15th of each month, about two months after the streams.
A live market
Investors can put their shares up for sale whenever they like, and they sell when another investor buys. There's no minimum time to hold them.
The data behind every song
Streaming history, past earnings and a risk score for every asset on the marketplace.
People you refer get the same product, fees and terms as everyone else. Royalty income rises and falls with streams, and returns are not guaranteed.
Two ways your audience can invest
Some people like to pick their own songs. Others would rather let the Robo-Advisor do it.
Self-directed
Choose their own songs
- Browse the marketplace and buy shares in individual songs or baskets of songs.
- Check each song's streaming history, past earnings and risk score before buying.
- Put shares up for sale whenever they like. A sale goes through when another investor buys.
Best for: People who want to pick songs and follow them closely.
Hands-off
Let the Robo-Advisor invest
- Pick a strategy: conservative, broadly diversified for steadier income, or opportunistic, more concentrated for higher upside with higher volatility.
- The Robo-Advisor builds and manages a diversified portfolio of songs, handling the picking, trading and ongoing management.
- Royalties keep paying out monthly. Each strategy has a minimum commitment of one month and its own management and performance fees.
Best for: People who want music royalties in their portfolio without picking songs.
Both count the same toward your fee
Your fee is based on what someone you refer deposits in their first 60 days and still has invested at day 90, whether that's in songs they picked or in a Robo-Advisor strategy. You can explain both ways to invest; just don't recommend specific songs.
Compare the Robo-Advisor strategiesHow the fee works
For each person you refer who deposits at least €250 in their first 60 days and has it invested on day 90, you earn €20 plus 1% of that money. It doesn't depend on which songs they choose or how often they trade.
Day 0
The person you referred has signed up and their account is approved. Their 60-day window opens.
Day 60
The window closes. Money deposited after this doesn't count.
Day 90
We check they still hold investments and set your fee.
Next month
Your fee is finalised on the 1st and paid by the end of the month.
