Distribution

Time to put in work. Distribution I know I have touched on how to distribute your music very briefly. However distribution of your music is only going to help you get closer to your dream of the next hottest artist. Don’t wait for something to happen because you will not get anywhere and you will never get close to that dream. Gaining a following of artists is a must for upcoming artists. The best way is to network and get your name out there to the public. If you don’t have any social media networks you need to get some that are for your music career base. This is an easy way to upload your music and so your following can spread the work to other people by word of mouth. Now if you create an EP album consisting of 5-7 songs officially then you would want to make money on that album unlike a mix tape. The two best sites for distribution are CD Baby and Tune Core as I explained a few weeks ago. CD Baby is the better way to go if you are on a budget. It is free to have an account to get ready to distribute music. There are several options that you can take to get your music distributed out. The “Album Signup” is $49 but you get a lot of perks. Your album will be sold on 60+ download stores including Amazon, iTunes, Spotify and more. You don’t have any annual fees and you can track your sales when people buy your music. The best thing is that CD Baby handles all the logistics such as payment transactions; download fulfillment and customer service details. This is a good way to know that your music is getting taken care of by a good service. Now there are plenty of other services such as wristbands and download cards to give out at your shows. This is a really good way to get your music out physically and each individual service has its own price based on quantity. Now again this is CD Baby I would go check it out and click on the tab pricing and look what appeals to you the most. I am going to be using this service when I distribute my artist Chi Smitty. Hope this helps and good luck!
