DISTROKID DOESN’T PAY ARTISTS

[TheLigthbringer]

Do they never pay or not pay on time? Which one is it?

[jorgaridya]

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.

This man low-key doin competitive advertising 😅😅😅

I was totally distracted by the wall "art"

[ChaceBonanno]

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.

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 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

Distrokid was the only distribution that we could find that worked for us unfortunately. Distrokid is obnoxious to say the least.

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.

I jump from different distributors many times using my ISRC without loosing my streams counts. Its good for royalties.

[ZekeBrewer]

Amuse takes 15% of your earning tho, I’d rather get paid late and paid in full

[noyspacmusic]

Distrokid just removed my music for editorial discretion.

And thats all they got to say about it!😡

[JustEthan-hs]

dont even talk to me with that backwall

[KiloTradeBricks]

So I uploaded my beat with distrokid and my comments section isn’t enabled, how do I change that

[NCTPNT]

idrc abt the money, i just make music for fun,

[Retro.frequency]

Thank you this was very helpful. Do you have a unique referral code so you could get something commissioned when I sign up?

[luciens]

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.

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.

[DemonicPR]

I don’t really do it for the money I do it for the fun at least for me that’s the case I’m new at this so of course idk if distrokid pays or not
