Ayyy thank you, just applied now! Will keep y’all updated

[oviside]

Where I come from, we'd call you an absolute legend, thank you

I gotta say, the process is ridiculous as it can get. Nothing simple about it. Every path is a dead end.

I have music distributed but I don’t see the list of artists selection. Is there another way to do it?

[Music_JakeC]

yooo, this is a really helpful vid! One question, I went to the YouTube official artist channel section in DistroKid and there wasn't the drop-down list of artists to choose from. It currently says, "To get started, upload some music to YouTube." I uploaded my music to DistroKid last night. I found the topic channel with the music on YouTube today. How can I fix this?
(sorry about the long comment)

[soundofjoybrown]

So glad I subscribed to your channel. You are so thorough in your explanations

[TezToolie]

Will my subscribers from the topic channel merge in with the other channel or will I have to start over

[thyterror]

Thanks a lot, this helped.❤

Hi, I followed all the steps, but i do not see the music note on my page for Artist verification, any idea why? thanks

[OnlyMarqblu]

This info was great. I filled out a form through my distributor for a OAC. I’m actually seeing changes on my channel.

"Sorry, YouTube is unable to process Official Artist Channel requests at this time. As soon as they're ready to process them again you can do that here. Please check back shortly." Distro Kid said this what do I do

[NoudvanHarskamp]

Thanks! Do you also have knowlegde about covers? As far as I know you are not able to make a YT content ID with covers throughout your distributor. But is it possible to make claims to the companies you mentioned in your video on the master audio recording part? I see a consultantcy session is 100$ on your website. But how long does it take and do you have knowlegde about covers as well?

[raulmuta]

Yo! Thank you for the awesome content, but what is that tool that seems like its giving you constant analytrics on anything you see on youtube? Put us on game 😭😭

[JonCampling]

amazing vid you ROCK!! unexpectedly released my 1st song last Friday via DK now in a world of pain navigating ALL THIS HAHAHA. x

[ikreateu]

Hi.Thank you for this important information. I was wondering if you can have your music linked from multiple distributors to the same YouTube channel. I ask this because I have distributed my music through Repost (now SoundCloud for Artists) but am about to start using Landr or Tunecore for my new releases. I was under a different artist name and had SoundCloud transfer that to my new name already. I wasn’t planning to move those older songs to Landr because I still like using my SoundCloud for my songwriting promotion and figured to just leave them there despite the 20% they take of streams. I am still newbie so not much coming in anyway. But my new music is a different story. I want this to be set up right from the start before releasing anything else. You input is greatly appreciated. 🙏🏾✨

[nlayoungchyld]

can you make another i searched this up because distrokid not working at the moment

[justbluemartin]

i tried to do this, but the youtube services directory for music partners isn't even working, so what do i do now?

[SinzzXXLofficial]

Why does TuneCore say that my content is copyright after I distribute it?I already have on my YouTube with the video, but get hit with a copyright

[mxke-wshz]

hey so I have only one song distributed currently (by Distrokid) but when I search the song it comes up as a Topic on youtube. Is this normal for those who still don't have a minimum of three uploads?

[triandosmorris]

I’ve tried with distro and it has been unavailable for while for me to merge my Artist account
