DistroKid is one example of the many different ways you can use to do just that !&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to&nbsp;<em>Routenote<\/em>,<em>&nbsp;CD Baby, TuneCore,<\/em>&nbsp;these are all digital distribution services (if you see the word \u201cDistro\u201d don\u2019t get confused, it is short for Distribution). A \u201cdistro\u201d helps make your music accessible on stores and streaming platforms. In this article, we\u2019ll focus on DistroKid and why you might consider using it over its alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table Of Contents:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1- DistroKid, why use it ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2- Marketing your music<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3- Back to DistroKid (Conclusion)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"914\" height=\"626\" src=\"https:\/\/daimoon.media\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-17.45.15.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2544\" style=\"width:454px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daimoon.media\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-17.45.15.png 914w, https:\/\/daimoon.media\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-17.45.15-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/daimoon.media\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-17.45.15-768x526.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DistroKid, Why use it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main end goal of DistroKid is the same as any other distribution service, getting your music out. So, essentially, they are all the same (more or less, that\u2019s what we\u2019ll dive deep into right away, go grab your coffee). So, how can DistroKid help you ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Finances first, it\u2019s not free (but so are the majority of them). You pay $19.99 yearly to get out as much music as you want. Royalties? You keep 100% of them ! That\u2019s right, go make that hit and you\u2019ll keep all the royalties assigned to you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let\u2019s talk numbers: delivery to over 150 Streaming platforms and stores (yes, including&nbsp;<strong><em>Spotify<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong><em>Apple Music<\/em><\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Got a<em>&nbsp;cover song? That is a bit more complicated than originals.However, DistroKid and Loudr<\/em>&nbsp;(an external party) got your back with this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Look, now we covered some great stuff about DistroKid. But, nothing in this world is perfect. DistroKid, like it has its upsides, it can be a bit concerning at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cool, do you have an example, you might ask? Yes, I do, I might answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DistroKid isn\u2019t 100% transparent, they will not be very open about all the additional benefits you can get, they\u2019re not free of course. Which you would want to know about before becoming a member, in an ideal world anyways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Are you a composer, or a songwriter?<\/em>&nbsp;You want to collect your&nbsp;<em>Composition Royalties,&nbsp;<\/em>can\u2019t do that with DistroKid. Once again, another party would have to be involved. Think of&nbsp;<em>SongTrust<\/em>&nbsp;for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look (again), many options, many services, many different prices and features, I know. Remember, at the end of the day, the core goal is the same, getting your music out there ! That\u2019s what matters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being said, if you are a very consistent artist and like to release lots and lots of music, I will definitely advise you to go ahead with DistroKid. Oh, you will save A LOT of money !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marketing Your Music<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, you\u2019ve done it. You\u2019ve finished that song you\u2019ve been working on, found a distributor (let\u2019s assume it\u2019s DistroKid), and it\u2019s now out for people to listen everywhere !&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, but now comes the hard part, getting people to listen to that piece of music&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/daimoon.media\/?rfsn=8668194.41434f\">(Hey, we can give you a hand with that).<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re confused right? Isn\u2019t \u201cdistributing my music via DistroKid is considered marketing and will help people listen to my music?\u201d Yes and no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes: Getting your music distributed via distribution services will help get your music to people\u2019s ears. Promoting the music is something that you and&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/daimoon.media\/blogs\/record-label-deals\">the label you\u2019re signing with<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;(if you\u2019re not releasing independently) should take care of. In this instance, having a resourceful label would be a nice push, as they can help you financially with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/daimoon.media\/landingspage-spotify-youtube-soundcloud?rfsn=8668194.41434f\"><strong>promotion and marketing costs<\/strong><\/a>, which can be quite high, depending on how far you want to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No: A distribution service doesn\u2019t exactly aim to promote and market your music. They are there to help you because distributing your music by yourself is a nightmare. Let alone the fact that some platforms require that your music is sent to them via distributors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"914\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/daimoon.media\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-17.45.38.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2545\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:351px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daimoon.media\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-17.45.38.png 914w, https:\/\/daimoon.media\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-17.45.38-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/daimoon.media\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-17.45.38-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Back to DistroKid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, after reading this article, should you give DistroKid a try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned before, there will be charges for extras. In addition, you might experience delays in terms of your music arriving at the stores. However, on the other hand we discussed all the upsides such as the membership fee, the help with clearing covers, the variety of platform delivery and getting to keep 100% of the royalties (excluding composition royalties which we have also discussed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To wrap things up, DistroKid\u2019s core function is the same as every other \u201cdistro\u201d, they can all get your music out there, and most if not all, will deliver to&nbsp;<em>Spotify, Apple Music<\/em> and all the major platforms. So don\u2019t overthink it. At the end of the day, you are pushing your music and getting it out there, and that\u2019s a big step that you should be proud of !&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1746110794866\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What\u00a0is\u00a0DistroKid\u00a0and\u00a0what\u00a0does\u00a0it\u00a0do?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">DistroKid is a digital music distribution service that lets artists upload and release their music to platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and more, while keeping 100% of their royalties.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1746110813518\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who should use DistroKid?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Independent artists, bands, or labels looking for a fast, low-cost way to distribute music globally without giving up ownership or royalties.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1746110822267\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the main pros and cons of using DistroKid?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Pros:<\/strong>\u00a0Unlimited song uploads, fast distribution, keeps 100% royalties.<br\/><strong>Cons:<\/strong>\u00a0Annual subscription required, limited marketing tools, and some features cost extra.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you finally finished that piece of music, got a cover art ready, and you\u2019re ready to get it out for the world?
