What is Mission Control for Vevo?

Accepted Answer

Mission Control is a premium distribution platform by Gotham West that helps artists and content creators get their music videos and podcasts distributed on Vevo and across all major streaming platforms.

Question 2

How does the 70/30 Revenue Share work?

Accepted Answer

With our 70/30 Revenue Share model, you receive 70% of all earned royalties while we take 30%. Unlike uploading directly to YouTube where you need to qualify for the Partner Program, you start earning royalties from your very first view on Vevo.

Question 3

How quickly can my content go live on Vevo?

Accepted Answer

Our platform publishes directly to Vevo in seconds (subject to moderation). Updates to published videos flow instantly. New accounts may be subject to moderation with videos approved within a few hours, but as your account ages, moderation requirements are reduced and you can publish immediately.

Question 4

What type of content can I distribute?

Accepted Answer

Mission Control primarily distributes music videos and music-related podcasts to Vevo. All content must meet Vevo's content guidelines and quality standards.

Question 5

Do I need a minimum number of subscribers or views to qualify?

Accepted Answer

No. Unlike YouTube's Partner Program, you don't need a minimum subscriber count or watch hours to start monetizing your content through Mission Control on Vevo.

Question 6

How often do I get paid royalties?

Accepted Answer

Royalty payments are processed monthly for all earnings that exceed our minimum payout threshold. You'll receive detailed reports of views and earnings. For specific timing details, view our complete royalty payment schedule at /royalty-schedule.
