How to Distribute music to streaming platforms

Today I am going to show you guys how to distribute your music to streaming platforms like Spotify.

Distributing music to streaming platforms has never been easier, thanks to the various digital distribution companies available. Here are the steps to take to get your music on popular streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal.

1. Choose a digital distribution company: There are many companies to choose from such as DistroKid, Tunecore and CD Baby. Each has its own pricing structure and features, so research and compare before making a decision.
2. Create an account: Once you've chosen a distribution company, create an account. This will typically involve providing your contact information and a valid credit card.
3. Prepare your music: Make sure your music is in a digital format, such as MP3 or WAV, and is properly formatted. This includes adding ID3 tags (artist, album, and track name) to your files.
4. Submit your music: Log in to your account and follow the prompts to submit your music. This may involve uploading your files and completing a release form.
5. Wait for approval: After submitting your music, it will be reviewed by the distribution company. Once approved, it will be sent to the streaming platforms for inclusion in their catalogs.
6. Promote your music: Once your music is live on streaming platforms, promote it on your website and social media channels to drive listeners to your music.

It's also important to keep in mind that you need to have all rights to the music you're uploading, and distribution companies may ask for proof of ownership before distributing. Once your music is live on streaming platforms, you will start earning royalties every time your songs are streamed.
