Matthew 6:30-34 KJV
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Can I use UA-cam-type beats on distro kid and still get paid. Beats cost a mansion these days

Thank you for explaining this in terms we can all understand
Musician plus is all independent artists need
Great video by the way dude 👊
Thank you very much for your info regarding this Distrokid subject.. I've been using a few DAW software so this would be helpful for later. Keep the good video's up
Awesome David!
Thank you for your play by play on distrokid it really helps.
thank you so much for the info, can you do a video on how to get recognized/large permanent fanbase quickly??
here's a video on how to build an audience that you might like that i made: ua-cam.com/video/ivmbCi9cuzA/v-deo.html
@@CharlesCleyn thanks man, appreciate it
someone asked me this question but I set up everything years ago so I don't remember
but if you don't have any music online yet, do you make a spotify for artists page via distrokid
or do you make it via spotify for artists and claim it with distrokid
or do you have to upload music to distrokid first or can you make your artist page before your release?
Thats my quistion too
Have you gotten an answer to this yet? I’m wondering the same thing
@@ying190 I'm not sure. I think you can only claim an artist page through a distributer but again, not sure
We need answers to this question
Me and my friend are going to drop a song together which is going to be a collab and it’s both our first song so obviously I’m going to use the & symbol so it can show up on both our profiles. We are separated artists in the musican plus plan for distrokid so would I first claim my Spotify artist account then he claims his Spotify artists account ? It should be good ? No confusion??
Great stuff as always! 🙏
Jeremiah 33:3 KJV
Call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not

thanks for making concise summary explanation on this!
Thank you very much It was great 💯🤙
I have only two questions.
Secondly, what should we do if we already have a UA-cam channel?
Thank you for your help 🙏
I tried using the link but it does not work. It just kept me on the pricing page.
Hi, Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I have a couple of questions:
1. My song is in Hebrew. How can I write the artist name, song name and so on in English but in Hebrew as well?
2. Regarding uploading to youtube, does distrokid uses my acount our another acount and can I upload a clip for youtube?
Thanks !!!
will i be notified when my music is realesed
Thanks for sharing this. That's a very good one there..
Question- So I’m in a band and we are about to release music. Do we need to go make a Spotify account like a regular “listener” would? And then connect it after uploading via distrokid? Or do we go upload on distrokid first and then it creates us a Spotify account under a name we choose?
good question . . . which no one answered.
The reason I came to this video in the first place…
Distrokid first .. I think he mentioned that part. This service covers that for you.
When watching your video on 2x it becomes more understandable
Great Video 🙏🏿🙌🏿, thanks so much
Golden tip, don’t start with in this video. Start to cut to the chase! Title makes it clear what it’s about
Excellent vid dude.
Love you brother ❤️
Thank you
You’re welcome
Should you first open a distrokid or Spotify for artists account?
Thank you!
Hey brother , so I’m a well known artist and I have my Spotify and Apple Music account through distrokid but noticed someone else made a separate account a while back of me and some of the music I’m featured on is going to that page instead of mine. How can I fix this? I didn’t give anyone permission to make another account of me.
Thanks for this very informative video! I do have a question.
I am making a music video (of a song I have written) to be uploaded on UA-cam. I want to upload the audio of my song to other platforms like Spotify, Apple Music etc.
Does Distrokid give you an option to upload videos on UA-cam? Since in your screen, I could only see audio upload option.
Thanks.
Hi, I got a question guys.
I’m thinking about signing up to Distrokid with my friend and we would like to form a band. When we select the $20 plan where you got 1 artist, can you have two credit cards registered to the one account or not? Because we would like to get payments on eachothers credit card. - If yes, can you also select how many % of earnings each other gets from every song?
great video !
Dope! Thanks!
Do they create a Spotify account for you ?? Or you have to create an account first on all them platforms??
if it's your first release, they create a page for you and then you can go and claim it as an artist, this video will help you with this; ua-cam.com/video/vUIAIC_ol0o/v-deo.htmlsi=d9d9CuUwo_FY2jhp it sounds like you might find value in me giving you free information once in a while on releasing music: www.charlescleyn.com/learn-with-me
Thanks a lot!
hi, what is better beatstars distribute or distrokid? or soundcloud pro maybe?
Can you still upload songs without an ISRC code?
If you’re using someone else’s beat would you still have to buy it from them before uploading to DistroKid?
The song won’t upload on the date we put ?
So you only pay yearly and not per release?
Hi Sir, I am new in Distrokid. I would like to ask where I can check the audio file I uploaded in Distrokid ? thank you
Nice video. I see that you didn't talk about the "Leave a legacy" option. Do you enable it ?
Yes you should enable it. It's worth not losing your stuff if can't afford the recurring payments in the future.
Sir I am from India and I want Ditrokid dashboard. I am not able to purchase a plan to get the dashboard of distrokid because the payment is not being made from India. Can you help me?
A question pls!
If I have my songs already online via another distributor. What do I do? 'Cause I'm so going for distrokid
Can I do this via my phone or must it be on a laptop?
Great video. May I ask a question? Forgive my ignorance but.....Do I have to have accounts on ALL those streaming services?
Hey man, no problem. No you don’t have to have accounts on those services.
@@CharlesCleyn not even on spotify and apple music too?
@@patrickgaming789 wow! That’s cool
@@CharlesCleyn what if I don't yet have Spotify or Itunes accounts? and what about Amazon?
@@relaxingsounds1386 they create the account for you when you release it then you'll have to claim the account later
Is it allowed to use the karaoke music in UA-cam for cover songs in distrokid?
Is it possible to connect distro kid, to an already existing SoundCloud, UA-cam and any other music streaming services?
can I use the same cover art for multiple tracks in the same album on distrokid?
If I set the release date in the mid-tier is it garunteed to come out on that date?
So they made my Spotify account how do I find my username and password that they created
Hi Charles ,I’m a complete beginner, can I open a Distrokid account even though I have no songs yet ?. I saw they ask you how many songs you want to upload starting of course with one.. but I didn’t see a button for NONE.. !
Dear Charles what to do if i can not find my songs on Distrokid and i cant sighn in
Superb video, well done and very comprehensive!
What, If I already posted a cover song on Spotify or UA-cam before having DK, and then linked them with my freshly created DK account later? Will Distrokid delete those songs as well after I delete my DK account?
I cant get a plan cus im from europe, nobody ususes credit cards.
HI CHARLES , I am a new subcriber to destrokid after putting up a song in YT, the next song they ask me to update my card. i have tried all the possible card including my international credit card, it s get updated instantly but after a few minutes they credit back and says update your card. but all the 3 annual plan upgrade subscription is working i never got credited for those three subscription. now i cant upload any song without updation of card. i have wrote to distrokid about this issue but they response saying please try another card, or check with your bank to make sure your card allows for recurring payments. how do i fix this ?
Hello I have a question no one seems to have the answer to. I originally subscribed to the label plan (5 to 10 artists) then a year later by mistake, when trying to renew my subscription (I didn’t know it had already renewed automatically) they accepted my “second”payment as an upgrade payment and put me on the label plus account (10-20 artists)!
So currently I’m paying a fortune yearly and every time a released is renew I am charged with the extras too. I’m desperate and don’t know what to do!!! So frustrating!
I know the only way to downgrade is by canceling my current label account and subscribing again, but this time I would subscribe to the musician plus account.
Do you know if I was to do this, will I have to pay for all the uploads individually again? I have 7 releases of my own and 26 from other artist. That will be a fortune for me to pay at once! Hopefully I can find someone with this experience to walk me through.
This is so cool! wanted to upload songs.. can I use a debit card? thanks!
you can use paypal I believe!
Thease videos yall make about distrokid are great! But they aint payed me my money yet & im wondering whats going on frfr
how do you split the royalties ? i didnts see that ....
Please What of the Leave a legacy option
Amazing
Hey can you help me I want to sign to distrokid but I want to make my music stay in streaming service for ever away but you need to pay 29 dollar per song....
So what is the time frame of music being uploaded if you just do the basic musician plan?
It could be anywhere between 2-10 days
Charlse C - I have a question *Will DistroKid count the number of times that a song is played on the radio?* If not what program will/and it's price? (thanks)
Hi charles I want to know you that my one year is almost completing and 15 days still left. so I have to pay the amount manually or it will be deduct automatically? and I don't have that bank account which I paid earlier so can I switch to another one and I have to pay manually or it will automatically deduct from my account?
You can link up your PayPal account and withdraw whenever you want
What’s the current inspection time do you know?
Are you referring to the time it takes to go live on stores? For Spotify and Apple Music it's about 2 days, sometimes up to 5.
Charles Cleyn sorry I meant the inspection time.. currently waiting for CD Baby to inspect an album I’ve done but taking an age. Am stuck as not sure whether to cancel and try another distributor?

Will it be okay if I upload a song and put the release date 3 weeks instead of 4 ?

How do I make my image 3000x3000?
I already had a UA-cam but uploaded my song to a different one is there a way to correct that?
You can merge your channels if you want
Do I have to copyright my music on copyright.gov and upload it to earn money or can I copyright my music on Distrokid and earn money

How do I let ppl know my songs are on distrokid
Share with them a hyperfollow link that you can get in your distrokid account
i like ben macklin!! (can i say this?)
Jake G in the houuuuse
will the songs ever go away if you unsubscribe?
If you stop paying they will be taken down eventually.
what if you don't yet have Spotify or Itunes artist accounts?
Those profiles will be created automatically when you do your first upload. After that, You can't access those artist profiles for customization until you "claim" those profiles
@@imanimurryacappella How do you claim them?
Does Distrokid provide ISRC codes?
Yes they do
@@CharlesCleyn thanks a lot: much appreciated.
Greetings from Malaysia. Thank you so much for your tutorial video . I like to find out how do i go about uploading my public domain Christmas carols please? The music beats has been modified which means I own the copyright . Do you have an email address where I can write to you directly?
Thanks for watching, if you you wrote the song yourself then you can copyright it at your national office and if you share copyright (if you used samples from other people) then be sure to find out your agreement with them first.
You are most welcome. Well, from what I believe and was told , is that, there is no harm in using public domain lyrics of carols as my own copyright because the original writer of the lyrics no longer exists after 100 years but as for the music arrangement, I have already paid the music arranger for his work and the christmas album was done for my own charity project to raise funds for covid19 victims in Italy. Will there be any further problems or issues Mr.Cleyn ? Please advise. Thank you very much.

Where does distrokid send my money?
Hey, they’ll send it to your PayPal account
@@CharlesCleyn thanks my bro!
Why I only saw $0.00 on you accounts? Seriously, what's the explanation?
no, it's not simple
What are you having trouble with?
Distrokid is a Rip Off artist in my opinion!
i am a DistroKid's Musician Plus user . To see my song stats...I have to take DistroKid's Ultimate plans which is so costly. So shifted to "TuneVortex" which is free & suitable for New artist. I am suggesting that fake artist should not try TuneVortx because their album will not be accepted easily.
