What about renewal? I have 30 singles, it means i gotta have to pay 270 bucks next year? i still don't understand. I'm going to move my entire discography to other distribution service and make it into an Album. I just want to keep my discography out there on the net.
It's a once a year charge. I have about 40 songs released and I pay $49 (or whatever the professional level costs) for all of them. There are add ons you can get or lower level subscriptions, but tgis new plan saves me a bucket load of money every year.
@@ALTreble I believe the Rising Artist would be $19.99 a year for all your releases. You could have 100 songs and it'd still should only be $19.99. You want to look for "Unlimited Releases to all Digital Stores" under what each plan offers.
If you choose Breakout artist, it should be super fast. I can't remember how fast mine all switched over, but it was withing a day or two I think? I'm hoping by the time I'm replying you're all setup!
Hi i have a question about uploading with distributors... what if i go ahead with content id with lets say tunecore.. and then whem i upload my musicvideo to youtube after that, i get a copyright Claim? Do i upload my vid to youtube first and then register to the distributor? What is the best way to go about it? Also my music is serbian, distrokid doesnt have serbian language as an option.. does the language of the music an affect on whie distibutor i use? Does tunecore have serbian as an option for language? Any help is appreciated thanks!
Hello! Great question! It's been about 10 years since I've done what you're asking, but I'll do my best to answer from memory. I would suggest getting your music claimed by Tunecore, then anytime someone else uses your music, you'll get paid for it. Even if they don't have your permission, Tunecore will still collect on your behalf. But, if you do not want them to collect on videos on your own channel, you can request for them to "Whitelist" your channel. That means your channel will be cleared to use your music. I would assume they can still do this as they did for me and my band a long time ago. We get paid anytime our music is played on anyone's UA-cam channel, but we collect our own royalties from our uploads. Also, if you do upload your music to your channel and do not have it whitelisted, you will get a copyright claim, but it WILL NOT hurt your standing on UA-cam. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions about it. Also, I checked and Tunecore doesn't have Serbian as a language option. But I wouldn't let that slow you down. I'd maybe pick the closest similar "market" that you're music would be played in. For example, my music is listed as English even though it's all instrumental and about 25% of my streams come from non-English speaking countries.
@@ZachWirchak Thanks alot for that! So if i white list my channel i will be earning 100% of my revenue for that video from googleAd sense as usual. Amd they only get 20% of the revenue that they find else where... but dont touch my youtube partner progrsm earnings right?
@@Vlade.Jovanoski.Official Correct! They won't claim anything from your channel if it's whitelisted. And like I said, they should still be able to whitelist channels. I haven't in a long time, but my bands channel is still whitelisted til this day from Tunecore.
You do get daily trend reports for both Spotify and iTunes. But, I believe you might get that with all the plans? But I'd have to double check. If you want more in depth reporting on Spotify numbers, I'd highly suggest getting a Spotify Artist profile built. Then you can see very detailed daily reporting straight from Spotify.
That is a great question! I think it comes down to your marketing plan for your singles. I just released 3 all within about 6-8 weeks of each other and they have been performing better than usual for my singles. I personally would say, if you've got quality tracks to release, then the more the better as long as you're not over saturating your fan base.
@@ZachWirchak ok great thank you for getting back. I did Google it and it said 3 to 4 weeks but I guess everyone has their own way to release singles. I'll go the way said it instead. Thank you
@@candidoaviles220 the main reason they recommend the 3-4 weeks is so the distribution sites have a chance to review and release. So the upload and the release date should be 3-4 weeks apart.
I understand they want to compete with distrokid, but before we make this move, I am curious. They have payenne to take a fee with you are withdrawing your earnings. How much fee does payenne take?
If i dont renew my subscription, it goes automatically to free account right? Which is, they will never take down our music until we dead, instead there will be revenue cut, 20%(?) Is it correct? XD
If you don't renew the subscription then your music will be removed from the digital stores. But I'm guessing it would automatically kick you to a free subscription like you said, so therefore your music could still be on social media platforms (don't quote me on that, but it seems like that's what it should do).
I can totally make an updated version! It is still pretty similar to the video I made a little while back. Here is a link to it - ua-cam.com/video/lfy-PcFVqbY/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing this information. I would like to know how this two features works? If I can get more information please 🙏 Music Publishing Administration and TuneCore Social pro. Thank you.
Can i enter with the free plan, upload my ep/album... And once i upgrade to rising that same eo will be distributed to digital stores that came with that rising plan?
hey i just wondering if u know how i can cancle my subscription on tunecore if i wanna do that in the future, i just subbbed there to the rising artist pack and i didnet se any way to cancle my plans/sunscription ? :)
@@ZachWirchak ok thank you. I just sign up today and they have a promotion going on so instead of paying $29.99 for Breakout Artist - Unlimited Plan it was only $20.51.
I hate to be negative but I want to inform future artists. Tunecore just took down my whole discography with no warning or reason. I emailed them multiple times but no reply. Buyer beware
@@buja3d I actually don't know what happens to your stats if the album is removed from your category. I believe if you were to reupload or reactivate, you could you use the same UPC and it "should" pick up where you left off? But I'm not 100% sure.
I have not subscribed to the social media part of it. I like to have a more hands on approach with any of my social media. But that said, I have never used it, so it might be good/great? If you're looking to do some scheduling with you social media, I'd also look into Hootsuite.
I reach out to their customer support about 2-3 times a year and they are usually great with getting me the answer I need in a reasonable time, usually within 48 hours. So I can honestly say it's been great for me... but that doesn't mean others have had a hard time with it.
what a waste, make a tool wher the artist cant market ads n be uploaded to music libarys games radios, ect.. thats the most important thing we look for
What do you mean? I get paid about 5-6 times a month from different distributors. Depending on the streaming service, it'll be about a 1-3 month delay. For example you'd get paid for your February numbers in April.
that's also i think tunecore is kind of cool. And it's nice they decorated my background. I think they make me feel right at home. I'm thinking I'm going to upgrade to break out. So can tune up the Heat. I'm more than a music Creator. I'm also a 3D modeler. That makes it even more awesome. 98 like bye. Thanks for the video help.

@@ZachWirchak That's good news, thanks for clearing it up for me! subbed!
Does this work with collabs? Unlimited releases?
UA-cam Official Artist Channel seems to be removed from their packages now... that's very sad
Tunecore support is the worst out of all the distributors. And that's a huge flaw.
WARNING: Tunecore will steal your money - ua-cam.com/video/7uaXTgy-5JI/v-deo.html
Which distributor has the best support?
Just signed up with the Tunecore free, trying to get my feet wet and learn the trade. Thanks for your great video and information! 😃
Excellent! I'm still enjoying Tunecore a lot. They are also improving the user interface pretty often as well.
How long my account change to premium account after payment? I choose brakout artist

They do not. SoundCloud is its own stand alone that the artist is able/relied on to upload their music.

do they allow music to stay online forever even if annual renewale is not continued ?
If you let it expire, then all the sites will remove the music.

What about tunecore social? Have you subscribed? I'm hearing bad things so far

Tunecore must be paying you. Tunecore has many complaints including horrible customer service claims!

@@ZachWirchak Hmm, interesting
what a waste, make a tool wher the artist cant market ads n be uploaded to music libarys games radios, ect.. thats the most important thing we look for
Is the 20% code no longer valid because it doesn't work?...
Interesting! I still get notifications that people are able to use it. Let me look into that tho.
@@ZachWirchak Did you find out if it was still working? I was looking to use it.
The only downside is they pay at the of the year. So if people madec1 million then they need to wait a year to get paid
What do you mean? I get paid about 5-6 times a month from different distributors. Depending on the streaming service, it'll be about a 1-3 month delay. For example you'd get paid for your February numbers in April.
