I'm done with Distrokid. The don't stand behind the artist. They removed my lastest single because it was flag from Spotify. There's is no way to appeal.
Dude it’s not “on time”. DistroKid’s paying you as soon as they get it, whereas other DSPs are essentially holding onto it while they get it and then giving it to you at the beginning of the next month. You’re actually getting it sooner with DistroKid.
@@thebassmentsoundtbs I don't think so But all I know that how you gonna get plenty money in distrokid is by using the second choice cus the first choice is very cheap so if you pick the second choice you can customize your price!
Most of channels that copy Leyland Kirby's work, or titles on their tracks have their videos put to TH-cam by DistroKid. It's only for the better if people hate them, even if it's because they don't get money.
Streaming royalties are a consistent revenue stream that doesn’t change based on show attendance or merch stock. I think that’s a pretty silly thing to say
Can someonehelp me here? Distrokid says my quantity for streams/sales and what not is over 4.5 million for all my music over the past 4 years, and when i check my earnings I have $11 balance?? That don't make sense to me. I messaged support 2 weeks ago and still haven't got a response
I don’t know buddy, knowing both platforms very well and releasing on both id have to say amuse is paying you to say that and it’s not true amuse has a 3 month lag time. Be wary of advice from this guy.
I’m in the UK i write and sing and collaborators create the music, obviously everyone will get credited for their participation, trying to cover all basis without going broke or having work used without permission, do I need to be with PRS MCPS or both as well as distrokid for my distribution
True, Cd Baby and Distrokid never pay my royalties in 4 years. One rpm they pay me but y need a different distributor to my label, i wanna try Too Lost.
Man I got so out of my element. Hi I don’t make music but I listen to a lot of newer artist bc TH-cam loves feeding me underground stuff (yay) and I noticed “provided my TH-cam by distrokid” under a lot so I looked up if that was some guy ripping people’s music and uploading only to find out it’s a legit service music people actually use but the service doesn’t actually have time to pay you the same way new startup businesses do to THEIR workers. Anyways yeah I know knowledge probably just yall and me know now and that’s kinda cool. Good luck with that!
Great video !. However people still need to work on their marketing allthough they can upload endlessly music onto plattforms. This in order to get known by a particular audience or audience in general. Ohterwise they never gonna be heard. The pros of a real record company is that a record company has the big money to invest in for example marketing and merchandise. Nowadays its easy to distribute music, but other topics are left.
So I'm confused, is this AI made or did an actual artist (modern day but tbh I wouldn't doubt if it were an older one) make this and pass it off as an older song?
I saw a reddit too of a guy who didnt got payed for 45€k. Kinda disgusting that they can make a scam that way. Im sorry for you and thank you so much for your information. I'll never sign up in to such a horrible business out of control like them lol. They got good reputation only on the sponsored videos lol.
It happens man, though there’s a lot that goes into decisions like that, a lot of context that I’m sure is left out in that Reddit post. I know people who have had funds withheld for doing dirty things with the platforms.
Distrokid doesn't pay doesn't answer my questions and also doesn't have supported contact just one robot working and he answers the same. now I submitted 2 music from 2year before but he did not release and don't have an answer
could you show us your amuse account? not tryna be annoyin but.. distrokid is late sometimes but I get payed usually a month after the stream. they tell you they're on a 3 month delay but if you stream enough itll be monthly
One day though if you keep at it! Stick around the channel, I’m sure there’s something you can learn to get yourself earning some royalties and find those fans! Appreciate you commenting!
150k strreams across all platforms and distrokid letting me walk away with 29.73 thats less than 10% of the revenue from streams when i check online in comparison to other ppl getting 150k plays safe to say in annoyed and dont know how to go about this

what the hell?? I have collected without problems 8 months in a row and I am not even from the United States. Are you sure that all your earnings are legal? Did you pay to get plays? It's very strange.
May I ask if I delete my music on Distrokid, will all the copyright be deleted too. Strange if I upload my music on TH-cam or Instagram, a copyright infringement will automatically affect the upload? Will this go away if I delete the songs from Distrokid?
that is not true distrokid pays you when you get enough streams for a fraction of a penny what a liar this is why i don't listen to music industry people who lie about distributers cuz if you distrokid pays you 100% of your royalties then they would have been sued for false advertising so don't be lying about distrokid if you don't like their services
we just gonna ignore the back wall
yes we will
😂😂😂😂
Yeah
Not anymore, I won't.

Distribution & Publishing Checks 💰
who are you with?
I jump from different distributors many times using my ISRC without loosing my streams counts. Its good for royalties.

you're just arguing semantics at this point. The point is, he hasn't gotten paid at all.
DistroKid seems to pay me on time.
SAME.
How about tiktok earning on 2023
DUH JUST CHOOSE THE SECOND CHOICE💀
Can I get advise here.
Where a song is used in tiktoks,YT shorts,reels does that count as streams to a song?

pays on time for me
Can you tell me how much they paid for 1 million Facebook Streams
not gonna lie its barely anything, under $100 for sure. I only get about $800 for 1M pandora streams@@mshahrukh666
Because you make less than $300 a month.
Because you make less than $300 a month and I know that for a fact:
Wow thank you for this, because I did use DK at first
Don't use streaming to make money. Use it to boost your popularity and focus on merch, deals, and live shows. Streaming money is just extra.

Distrokid was the only distribution that we could find that worked for us unfortunately. Distrokid is obnoxious to say the least.
Yeah, that's what i started with as well! But distrokid just doesn't pay on time and it suuuucks!
@@zillamode agreed my friend.
@@zillamode and that’s what your mad about
@@zillamode But they do pay, you just revealed that. Okay so they late, just wait. It sucks but you do get paid.
It shouldn’t be late tho

I don't really care. Music is just a side hustle/hobby. I got 2 other incomes, so that extra $100-$300 a month def comes in handy
Wha Otha typa incomes you got gang? 🤔 not pocket watchin but tryna diversify my funds too
Please how do you get that much income from music monthly , teach me sifu
@@Theyluvdas It looks like he's a graphic designer and power lift influencer. I'm guessing most of his income comes from graphic design though.
Lol simply put u wouldn’t need other sources of income if Music was your career u wouldn’t have time for other shit literally

Amuse takes 15% of your earning tho, I’d rather get paid late and paid in full
On a free subscription. On paid sub you get 100% Learn to read and understand!
@@jazzampa How much is the subscription.
Distrokid doesn't pay doesn't answer my questions and also doesn't have supported contact just one robot working and he answers the same. now I submitted 2 music from 2year before but he did not release and don't have an answer

could you show us your amuse account? not tryna be annoyin but.. distrokid is late sometimes but I get payed usually a month after the stream. they tell you they're on a 3 month delay but if you stream enough itll be monthly
Whats in the back
Do songs in the Americana genre sell much in this era?
I get paid every week with tunecore
Can you tell me how much they paid for 1 million Facebook Streams?
Is tunecore better all around for a beginning artist, better pay out, lyrics on Apple Music etc ?
how do you get paid "every week" if they all have a 3 month delay? that literally makes zero sense
Please I tried it but not accepting my debit card I am from Nigeria
What’s your debit card number maybe I can help
I used 2 DSP before Amused and didnt work. Amuse looks good so far for me too.
Thats awesome! Let me know how it works out!
