Want to release your music online to Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play and more?

In this video, I take you through my top ten reasons why you need to release your music online, and why I use and recommend DistroKid for all my music distribution.

Over the past two years, I have released one album, two EPs, and several single using the DistroKid platform and it has been super simple and reliable every time. I'm excited to have DistroKid on board as a sponsor of this video.

The promotional discount link mentioned above is an affiliate link, meaning that if you use this link and sign up with DistroKid, they will pay a small commission to me, so you will be supporting the channel and releasing your music!

Spoiler alert - here's a quick rundown of my ten reasons

10. Get Paid - you can earn royalties from sales and streams through many platforms, and DistroKid will pass 100% of these back to you
9. New Audiences - releasing to a number of different platforms can help more listeners discover your music
8. Stats & Information - releasing allows you to see which of your tracks are popular on different platforms and you can also track how much revenue is coming from each service
7. Credibility - releasing your music shows your listeners that you are serious about your music, and increases the likelihood that they will take you seriously
6. Feels Awesome - seeing your music on the major platforms next to your favourite artists just feels amazing!
5. Metadata - spreading the metadata related to your music around the web can help people find your music much easier
4. Motivation - knowing you are releasing your tracks officially helps you meet time-bound goals for your music
3. It's Easy - the barriers of the past are gone and it is easier than ever to upload and release your own music
2. Easy to Share - once your music is everywhere, you can just tell people to search for you by name and they will always find your music
1. Finality - releasing helps you actually COMPLETE your songs, and helps avoid the habit of having a pile of partly completed songs
