Музыка
This video shows you how to send your music to platforms like Spotify, Apple music, Tidal, Deezer, Boomplay etc. I go into details every single step you need to take as an Independent artist to get your songs on these platforms. I used Tunecore as the example distributor for this video (video not sponsored by Tunecore). Make sure you watch every single step of this video. I also show you how to get your songs on tiktok, Facebook stories and Instagram stories and reels.

It depends on how many streams you get and what platforms those streams come from, you should be able to see your money reflect on your dashboard after a couple of weeks and you can withdraw once it reflects.

So it can be two things. 1. If you are using your mobile phone, you might have an issue using your card. I would advice you use a laptop or desktop. 2. If you are using a laptop or desktop and you are still having issue, make sure your bank has activated online purchases on your card. If they have activated that on the card and you've used it for online payments before, then you can send them (Tunecore) an email and send a complaint to find out if its their system having an issue or there is an issue with your card. I hope this helps
God bless you En Kay B for this educative video. You really saved me from so much stress. Please is it possible to use my GT Bank master card to add payment from Nigeria? I already use the card to make payment on Facebook ads. Pls reply thanks.

Amen, I'm glad my videos are being helpful. Once you have been able to make payment online like a facebook ad, then you can use it to make payment as well on your music distribution online.
hi I don’t have an artist account on all the streaming platforms…will Tune core create them for me automatically

Once you distribute your songs using tunecore, an artist account will be created automatically on all streaming platforms for you. You can create them manually or try using tunecore to claim some of these artists profile/account. I think tunecore has a feature you can use to claim your Spotify and Apple music artist account. Hope this helps.
So please u can distribute later u get ur payment card or

If you are going to use bank card to pay, you need to have it ready, that is funded and has the ability to pay for your distribution. Or you can setup your distribution and save it as draft so that when your card is ready, you can finalize your payment for your music distribution.
how can they do that without taking a percentage?

So you pay them for them to distribute your music, that's how they make their money. If their distribution service was free, then they would have taken an amount off your revenue to pay for that cost
Thanks for this video. How do I know if my songs have been distributed to different stores?

So most distributors just give you links to like 2 or 3 platforms for you to use for your music marketing but you can check all the stores you selected for distribution and you will find your music there. Platforms like boomplay allows people to download your music and you get paid for it, there are others also, you can try and do some research on the platforms you selected for distribution to made to and I'm sure you can also find a few that work like boomplay

How many days does it take for your music to be released
@enkayb
8 ай бұрын
It can take 2 weeks or a month after you have submitted your song. They mostly advice that you submit your music a month before your release. They check the music to make sure it meets all requirements for the platforms you have decided to distribute on. So incase they find an issue and you have to correct it, you get the chance to do so without it affecting your release date.
Boss where will I get my UPC code ????

On exactly 9:00 on the timer for the video, Pause it and you will see the UPC code is generated for you automatically once you are done filling the necessary details for the song and submitting it

You have the option to opt in for Facebook and Instagram reels/stories when filling out the information for your music. This will make them available on both social media platforms

Please how will the tune core access my accounts in all platforms
@enkayb

Tunecore cant access your accounts on all platforms if you didnt distribute with them but if you decide to use tunecore to distribute, you can add a link to your already existing profile or music so they distribute to that specific profile. Once that is done, tunecore will collect stream royalties for only the songs you distributed through them and you can also use tunecore to finally access your artist profiles on streaming platforms and take control of your profile on the streaming platforms

Your artwork needs to have your artiste name and song title on it, any extra text like record label name or logo or the designers logo will let you face issues uploading the artwork.
Thanks for the video bro Pls all this streaming platform you tik, how did tunecore know all of your streaming platform I'd? Or do you have to input them?

So what they do is, if you are new and its your first time distributing your music, you just have to put in your correct stage name every time you are distributing music and they will automatically connect to your accounts across the streaming platforms and you will get your music over there. If you have distributed your music with other distributors and you want to switch to tuberose, they allow you to drop your Spotify profile link in one of the forms and also make sure you put in the correct stage name you use and they will find your accounts on all the streaming platforms and distribute your music to those accounts/profile that belongs to you the artists. Note that if you get anything wrong with the second point I stated, you may risk getting multiple artists accounts created just for you. This means one account will have your songs from the old distributor and the new account will have songs from the new distributor. I believe they have made this easy to do so I doubt anyone can get an issue with that process. I hope this helps

Create an account and follow the procedure. You will need a visa card from your bank and your visa card should have online purchasing activated on it (inform your bank and they will do it for you). Fund your bank account and use the card to pay at the checkout.

Is this worth it.sir how much have you made so far in this distribution
@enkayb
2 жыл бұрын
I would say it is worth it if you are willing to put in the work to promote your music and get the streams you have targeted to get. Personally, I haven't made much just a couple of dollars because of the amount of streams I have received and the location its from. I believe its better to receive something than nothing at all and you never know when your music might blow up. So its better to set it up for monetization than to regret you never did at all, plus distributing can also make your music easy to acquire no matter where your fans are from
Thanks for this, it's helpful. I gave a song for someone to distribute for me, now I want to do it myself what's the way forward. Because I don't want to lose the previous digital account that was created through him.

So I currently don't know if there is a way to claim that song to your new distributor but I believe Tunecore might have that feature. What you can do moving forward is, make sure you use the right stage name when distributing with your new distributor and always have your spotify or apple music artiste profile link stored somewhere as they might request it to properly identify you since you have previously released music. I will also advice that you do your best to claim your artiste profile on platforms like spotify. You can visit Spotify for artiste and search your artiste name and claim the profile. This will allow you have access to many tools on spotify to help you promote your music and also market your music.
