Great video. Do you have to do it all in one setting?

@ElishaRecords 8 ай бұрын

Huh, I owe you that one. I believe so, but not totally sure.

@BurhanOzbayram Жыл бұрын

thx for great explanation. How will I upload my video clip? Should I upload it to youtube by myself after release, or upload it when I am at uploading page of distrokid?

@ElishaRecords Жыл бұрын

If you are doing this yourself you could upload and schedule it on KZfaq on your planned launch date. But, I know Distrokid now has a video release section, it does cost more, but your video will be released on KZfaq, Vevo, and everywhere else like a regular studio label would do for big name artists.

Wait so what account does the music get posted to if you don’t have one yet?

@ElishaRecords Жыл бұрын

If it’s your very first release they will create a verified account for you on all streaming platforms.

And again you sir when you click the hyper follow it said available soon so how long does it takes to be available on all streaming platforms

@karspalbeats 10 ай бұрын

Pls reply to this

@ElishaRecords 10 ай бұрын

It varies, it takes a while to propagate. You should plan at least 4 weeks ahead of time minimum.

@ElishaRecords 10 ай бұрын

Some platforms put it up faster, but if you want to do a proper release you should definitely plan to upload at least a month ahead of time.

I dont understant what you mean about youtube music store. I have posted all my songs to my youtube channel previously. Should i not post to youtube through distrokid now?

@ElishaRecords 6 ай бұрын

Some people don't want their audio or song on youtube and prefer to upload that manually alongside a music video. Is purely a preference, but Distrokid had a bunch of people asking why they uploaded to youtube as well. And yeah, that's why they added the disclaimer there just in case.

Ohh so can I have them post it to KZfaq music and combine the accounts?@@ElishaRecords

yo, help me. Can i change release date? for example , i uploaded my old song in 2023 but i want change date on 2022??

I don’t think you can backdate a release that’s already out.

1. So helpful sir. You didn't touch the payment part. How is the payment done on distrokid platform? What procedure is followed in making payment ? 2. Is the payment done every year?

@ElishaRecords Жыл бұрын

Yes, it’s like any other regular subscription. You pay and that will be discounted automatically from the card you have in store.

@ElishaRecords Жыл бұрын

Yes, it’s only once a year. And they’ll send you reminders if your card is expired or anything else.

Can I use phone to upload a song in distrokid

I don't think so. I believe you need to do it on desktop.

@@karspalbeats I need to check on that, I’ve been wanting to do an updated video about this and this should be included. Although I have no clue why anyone would want to upload from a mobile phone having that option is still pretty cool. I’ll keep guys posted, as far as I know you cannot, but I might be wrong.

doesn’t matter if you do 4 weeks prior or not btw

@ElishaRecords 2 күн бұрын

It does matter if you want it to be in time on as many platforms as possible. If you don’t care about that then they will come out as they are available.

@@ElishaRecords just saying good video tho, what i’m saying is you don’t need to wait, my music is doing great and i submitted into stores less than a week prior

@ElishaRecords 2 күн бұрын

@@PedroRazaMusic yeah, all I’m saying is that you’re probably lucky. As per Distrokid right now: iTunes/Apple Music: 1-7 days. A very small percentage of albums go through manual review at Apple, which takes an additional 1-2 weeks or so. Spotify: 2-5 days Amazon: 1-2 days KZfaq Music: 1-2 days Deezer: 1-2 days TIDAL: 2 days Facebook/Instagram: 1-2 weeks TikTok: 1-2 days Anghami: 1-5 days (some require manual review by Anghami's team which can take an additional 2-3 days). That’s why to make absolutely sure your music is on time is a good idea to get it up 3 - 4 weeks prior to release. I recommend 4 weeks because this is just for DistroKid, counting you do proper promotion and marketing you should have a solid release calendar.

@@ElishaRecords never luck pa it’s skill and talent, didn’t get streams from playlists🙏🏽

@ElishaRecords Күн бұрын

@@PedroRazaMusic luck nor skill has to do with a release calendar. You are not able to rush release on any platform cause you don’t own the platforms. It’s up to the platforms to upload the music according to their standards in their timeline. Not sure if you understand the why behind it yet. But if it’s working for you that fine. Just saying the 4 weeks is not just because, but more how proper planning is done.
