A publishing administrator functions in a similar way to a publisher with a couple important differences: the artist retains all copyrights in exchange for a commission of the publishing royalties. A publishing administrator will not seek out opportunities or additional revenue for a song, but works to collect all of the performance and mechanical royalties a song has generated.
CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, and SongTrust are popular publishing administrators.
