@@VickiBalfour Please how do I get the link to share my music if distro kid doesn't send me a mail early enough that it has been uploaded on any of the sites
@@inumimomccoyayomide1706 What I do is just log into e.g. my spotify and check for my song (as sometimes it is released before Distrokid sends the email to say it's up on that platform). If it's there, I just click on the song and then copy the url for the song and share that.

How long it takes to be available on all music digital platforms since I want to release?
Depending on the platform, it can take anywhere between 1 day and 2 weeks to be released once you upload your song to Distrokid.
Thank u !

...how did you decide which services to tick from the list?
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it helpful. I went with the ones I'd heard of before and then for ones I hadn't heard of I looked them up first to see how popular they were. I didn't bother with any smaller companies after Taylor Davis's advice saying she'd had issues and lost money with a smaller less well known one.

Thank you such a helpful video😍
Question : Do we need import another credit card information for distrokid or it just uses the credit card information we signed up with?
The card you sign up with will be the one that Distrokid used for future payments (i.e. for further purchases such as cover song licences) but you can change this at a later date. You will need to enter bank details or paypal details in order for Distrokid to pay you. Hope this helps.
@@VickiBalfour hey thx so much absolutely helpful 😍👍🏻
@@alikazemi6802 No problem!
Cheers ^ this is gold!
1 Cover Song $12 a year? Sign up to service = $12 a year, or $12 a year for EACH cover?
2 And - legacy tickbox (own music or covers) - one-time fee, nonrecurring, so that IS per track you tick it on? Ouch, ok but ouch.
3 Been told - always release singles, then as album. Above makes this expensive? To survive costs, just do album? Your thoughts / experiences? Ta
So it is $19.99 per year to sign up to release songs. If you are releasing a cover song, you need to pay an additional $12 when you release that song, and then again each year to keep the mechanical licence for that cover song. I hope this helps :)
@@VickiBalfour thx, I get confused between "value" (saving) and "cost" - also their $12 x 1 meaning per year each year, not just for 1 year! My bad. (reading the full contract I thought it meant you have to get that license just for the month you release a cover? 'service') Thanks for demystifying.
@@VickiBalfour (p.s. I meant re legacy for q3 above, p.p.s. saw your covers & I'm enjoying your channel - keep up the gr8 work!)
@@DoktorKifTV Yes it's $12 per cover song per year. For the legacy thing that's also per song, but I think that's just a one off payment, not per year. I never go for that personally. And thanks so much, I'm glad you are enjoying my channel!
Hello, can you tell me if I need to create "band's spotify profile" or it was created when we got on distrokid and I can access it through my normal profile? Thanks in advance. Helpful video. Keep up.
Hi Rene, when I set up my Distrokid account I did not have a spotify profile. When I uploaded my first song to Distrokid, they created a spotify profile for me. I was then able to claim my spotify profile as I describe towards the end of the video so that I could change my profile picture and bio on spotify. My login to spotify is different from my log in to Distrokid, though I initially set it up on Distrokid. Does this help to answer your question?
@@VickiBalfour Actually yes thank you!
@@reneremsik No problem, I'm glad you found the video useful :)
Great video Vicki. Do you know how I can give someone credit such as "Programmer & Arranger". There is no place to do that. Should I put it on the image?
Hi Ronald, thank you. Yes you can give credits to arrangers etc. In the 'more' tab there is a section called 'credits and liner notes'. Here you can add credits to any singles or albums and this information will be sent to streaming services along with your song.
@@VickiBalfour Thanks Vicki. I have not uploaded the song so I cant see the credits and liner notes page (how it looks) :-( Also, once u finish uploading a song or album, can you see the ISRC and UPC Code that was issued by Distrokid?
@@rockyboy976 Hi Ronald, yes you will get to see the ISRC and the UPC code. Once you have uploaded your song go to the 'my music' tab then select the album/single you wish to view and the info will be on that song's page
@@VickiBalfour Ur awesome. Many thanks :-)
@@rockyboy976 No problem, glad to help :)
thank you so much for this! Will the song be private on distrokid even when it's available in stores? if not, how do I make sure it stays private until release date
I'm glad this was helpful. If you would like to be able to schedule release dates you will need to be on the musician plus plan. As far as I am aware, your songs will not be made available in stores until the day that you schedule to release it. In terms of your actual distrokid account, that is private to you only, and I don't believe anyone can access your hyperfollow pages unless you share the link to them.
@@VickiBalfour thank you so much for this!
@@nikitathigpen4590 No problem!
thank you for this valuable information, so easy to understand,..problem iv got is the mp3 has been e mailed to me by recording studio.. i haven't got a clue how to upload it to distrokid from e mails.. can anyone help? x
Can you download the mp3 file from the email you were sent onto your computer, and then upload it from there onto Distrokid?
Thanks Vicki, very helpful, i have a question, i´d like to upload my version of a folk song, which many other musicians sang and played before, technically it´s not a cover, it´s a folk song, how do i go about it? Gonna use your link!
Hi Svetlana, I'm actually working on another tutorial video at the moment on how to do this. What you need to do is first of all check that the song is in the public domain. Folk songs which are really old should be (but always make sure to check). Then you follow the process for uploading a song as if it was an original song. When you get asked for song writer (music/lyrics) name, you just write 'Traditional'. This is what I did when uploading my arrangement of Auld Lang Syne. You then don't need to play for a cover licence and you keep all the royalties. Hopefully this helps, but feel free to watch my new tutorial when it comes out later this month :)
@@VickiBalfour Thank you a lot, this is very helpful, looking forward to your new tutorial!
@@SvetlanaBakushinaArt No problem and thank you :)
@@SvetlanaBakushinaArt My tutorial on how to release traditional songs is now up if you're still interested in watching it :) I'll leave the link here: ua-cam.com/video/mttDhcjVT2k/v-deo.html

good video, just asking, are you allowed different information from the payment for distrokid compared to the earnings, because im a kid and i want my mom to pay for it because i cant afford it, but can i link my paypal or something to get my earnings through my paypal in the same account?
If you are under 18 you will need to have an adult sign up and create an account on your behalf. As for receiving earnings, Distrokid will send this to you via a paypal account. Paypal also requires you to be 18 or over to have an account, but if your mum has a paypal account then when she receives money into that from Distrokid, she could send it on to you
@@VickiBalfour true thank you 🤘🏼
@@GRFSDGFVSD No problem!
This video is helpful, under the language section could you please check which all other languages supported? Apart from English, I am also looking for the language called "Malayalam" ?
I'm not sure about that one sorry. if you can't find the information on the Distrokid website then I'd recommend getting in touch with Distrokid to ask. They usually reply to enquires within 2 or 3 days
@@VickiBalfourI have been using CD baby :) thank you.
@@bijeshksamson No problem
Hi there if we subscribe to the basic plan $19.99/yr then we have upload a cover song so the $12 amount of cover song is paid separately after the purchase of the basic plan or at the time of purchasing the basic plan? Or Distrokid deduct it from our card?
The $12 is a separate payment which will be deducted from your card when you choose to upload and release a cover song. This is a recurring payment that you have to pay each year for each cover song you release. Hope this helps.
Very helpful video but could you explain how to fill the card details,
Do you mean your card details for creating an account?
@@VickiBalfour yes,because it says my card is declined yet I have everything i need
@@ytnsofala A possible issue could be the type of card you are using. Distrokid. Distrokid currently only accepts payments via Visa, Mastercard or American Express cards. If you are using one of these and your payment isn't going through you may wish to get in touch with your bank to see if they are blocking payments to Distrokid for some reason. I hope this helps
Vicky B - Does DistroKidd actually keep tabs/ keeps count of the number of times that your song is played on Radios (so that you are *paid per radio play)?* (4.) If not - what platform will and what is their price? (Thanks in Advance)
I'm not sure about radio plays. I don't think Distrokid keeps track of this. In the UK I believe you need to sign up for PRS or PPL for them to collect royalties like that for you. I'm not sure about other countries. Hope this helps
@@VickiBalfour *Thanks what are the typical radio standards that a song must meet before airplay?* (like typical frequency ect.....)*
@@assuredcertitude8234 Sorry, I'm not sure, I've never had any of my songs played on the radio
My producer uploads all my song but im not able to access any of the menu options on my account to check on the splits because i have not picked any package. Should I pick a package evwn if i wont use it?? Is it considered as an account only if i have a package?
Hi Dhaya, I haven't worked with a producer, so I'm not sure what happens when someone else is in charge of your uploads. Perhaps you should try speaking to your producer about this or get in touch with Distrokid directly to ask them questions. They usually reply within a couple of days when I've had a query.
should be have to pay for cover license everytime whenever we upload new cover ??? Or it’s one time payment ?
You have to pay every time you upload a new cover, and you also have to pay every year as well
Hey, thanks for the video! I have a problem, maybe you know the solution. So I have tried attaching my Master Card but it keeps repeating that my card has been declined, even though my card is active and I have a balance there. Also, I contacted my bank and they said there's no problem for their side. I have been adding my card for three days but nothing has changed. Any solution? my music might get deleted because of this!
Hey sorry for the slow reply, I was on holiday. Did you manage to get this issue sorted?
A bank tutorial would be great, thats where I'm stuck at 😔
What specific things are you stuck with on the bank stuff?
@@VickiBalfour like the tax stuff I'm 17 an doing it on my own kinda hard.. Just wanted some guidance
@@thirtikay As I'm not a legal professional I'm afraid I can't give any guidance on taxes (I have no experience with this myself) and it will also depend on which country you live in. You would be best to get an accountant to help you with this. Sorry I can't be of more help in this regard
Can u change banks...??mode of payment' I mean am in doha ..so I want to register with Doha bank card then after two yrs ..when I go back to my country..change to one of the banks in my country...u feel me?
As far as I am aware you can change your payment details at a later date. I have updated my payment details on Distrokid before. Hope this helps :)
Apply oac and claim
Do you have any questions about the tutorial?
Thanks you...
Already paid but failed to sign in..
Please help me
I'm really sorry but I can't help with this particular problem, you would need to get in touch with Distrokid about this.
Hello
i wanted to ask that
does destrokid take full payment at the time of signing up? or does it take it annually?
because my card is just getting declined.
When you sign up, yes Distrokid will charge you for 1 year's subscription (so $19.99 if you are on the basic plan). Your card will then get charged again 1 year later. If you are having issues with your card being declined, it could be because of your card type. Distrokid only accept Visa, American express cards and Mastercards. If you are using one of these then I would suggest either getting in touch with your bank to see why they are declining your card, or get in touch with Distrokid directly on their help/ contact form. I hope this helps :)
wow thank you😊
@@abisekgurung23 No problem, I'm glad to help :)
If me and my friend are dropping a song together but we are separate artist and this will be the first time we drop music would we need 2 separate distrokid accounts or just one ? So in the artist name we put each other with the & symbol ??
Hi Saul, I'm not 100% sure about this as this is not something I have had to set up myself. There should be some information in the Distrokid FAQ section however. If you can't find the information you need there, the Distrokid customer service team is really good and they usually respond to emails within 2 or 3 days. I hope this helps :)
I need to know this too

@@VAIDIK009 I haven't gone through the process of setting it up that way myself, but I know there is a way to do it.
i have a question, since distrokid creates you a youtube artist account, can you still make your own youtube account or do they control your artist youtube channel if that makes sense?
I have my own separate youtube account which I upload my videos to so that I can have full control over it.
@@VickiBalfour good to know! so the one they make for you is just there but you can't do anything to it?

Hi Vicky B
Pls after subscribing to distrokid basic plan, an extra $13 dollars was deducted from account, without them approving the audio I uploaded.
Please what's going on? I need urgent reply pls
Hi Tehila, I'm not sure why this would have been. Were you trying to get a cover song licence? I would recommend getting in touch with Distrokid directly if you think there has been a mistake. Their help service is usually pretty good in my experience.

What sort of information specifically are you looking for?
Please I have a question,,,,do distrokid work in Nigeria?

As long as you know your email and password you should be able to log onto your account on a different device.
do you know any website i can make music on?
What do you mean by make music?
I’m using amuse right now and have released music on it . Is their a way to switch to distrokid and still see my music and streams and more from amuse?
Basically how do I switch from amuse to distrokid:)
Will my music have to be released again
@@jrod6892 To the best of my knowledge you should still be able to keep your Amuse account if you started using Distrokid. I.e. if you created a Distrokid account today it won't be linked in any way to your Amuse account so should not affect it. You can't transfer songs to Distrokid, you would have to re-release them if you wanted your old songs to now be distributed using Distrokid. But if you only want to release new songs with Distrokid, then the songs you released using Amuse will still remain in online stores and you will still keep the stats from those songs etc. I know of many musicians who release different songs with different Distributors and many experiment with trying out different distributors to see which offers the best service for their needs. I hope this helps
@@VickiBalfour thank you so much:) so if I make a distrokid account and put my artist profile in distrokid , it won’t show my releases right? So does that mean I need to make new profiles for Spotify Apple Music etc?
@@jrod6892 I believe you keep the same artist profiles for spotify and apple music, Distrokid will ask you when you first release a song with them if you already have artist profiles or if you would like them to create one for you
do i have to be an IOS user to make an apple artist account?
I use android and pc and I was able to make an apple artist account, so no you don't need to be an IOS user

This's very helpful dear, but my question is 1. After releasing my single 19.99 dollars every year for Distrokid?
2. How can I attached the lyrics of my song so it can show everywhere example like Shazam, Facebook etc.?
1. Yes you need to pay the subscription every year, however you can upload an unlimited number of songs each year.
2. I'm not sure about this as I haven't tried to do it myself
@@VickiBalfour Wow ok thanks for your response
@@KMensahTv No problem, sorry I can't help you with the fb and shazam stuff
Please let's me get it clear, if you want to upload your song on UA-cam you need to select no, right? So if you select yes means you can't upload your song into your UA-cam channel, right?
If you select google play/youtube as a store when uploading your song to Distrokid, Distrokid will create an audio track on youtube with the album/single artwork as the video. You can still upload your own separate music video onto your own UA-cam channel however. This is what I do. Does this help to answer your question?
@@VickiBalfour yes thank you for your time
@@nairapower0 No problem :)
how to upgrade that plan?? i have pay 19.99 usd just now.
do this charge more money for it?
If you would like to upgrade your plan, if you do so within 14 days of opening your account you only need to pay the difference between the plan you are on and the plan you want to be on, e.g. if you want to change from the $19.99 plan to the $35.99 plan you only pay $16. However, if you decide to upgrade later you would need to pay the full $35.99. Does this help to answer your question?
@@VickiBalfour thank you so much 💖 i have one more question i have selected the first plan $19.99. But i can't able to change label name??
@@soundthatyouneed2501 You won't be able to change the label name on the basic $19.99 plan. The label will automatically just be set to Distrokid
@@VickiBalfour thanks for helping g
