  • Introduction to Music Monetization(0'000'59)
    The video explains how to get your music onto major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Tidal, Deezer, and 150+ other stores quickly and affordably.
    • Artists and music producers • Rappers and singers • Songwriters looking to monetize their work
    Independent artists cannot upload directly to streaming sites and must use a middleman distributor, which traditionally charges high upfront fees or takes a percentage of royalties.
    Find the cheapest and quickest way to distribute music while keeping the full amount of earned revenue.
  • The Problem with Traditional Distributors(0'591'21)
    Historically, record labels were the only middlemen available, but now independent artists typically use distributors.
    • Many distributors charge $30-40 per album per year upfront • Others charge no upfront fee but take a percentage of royalties • Taking a percentage of royalties should be completely avoided
    These fees and cuts significantly reduce the profit artists receive from their music.
    Money and finance matters often become stressful and can burden an artist's creativity and art.

  • Advanced Features: Shazam and YouTube(3'494'37)
    • Opt your music into Shazam so people can discover it when they hear it in public places, on the radio, or in cars • The creator's music has been discovered over 1,000 times through this feature
    Automatically detect when your music is used as backing track in YouTube videos and claim the revenue or allow usage, earning money from places beyond your own streams and sales.
    Collect income not just from direct streams and sales but also from secondary usage of your music on other platforms.
    Both features are optional and allow artists to maintain control over their music visibility and monetization.
  • Revenue Splitting and Collaboration(4'375'54)
    DistroKit's brand new Teams feature allows negotiation of revenue splits with collaborators for songs or albums.
    • Producers, beat makers, and mixers can accept revenue sharing instead of full upfront payment • Example: $300 upfront payment plus 20% of lifetime streaming revenue instead of $400 flat fee
    When collaborators have a stake in the song's success through revenue sharing, they tend to put extra effort into making the project better.
    Eliminates the need for a manager or third party to handle splits and take a percentage, with automated split setup and distribution.
  • Final Recommendations and Motivation(5'548'11)
    Put your art into the world on as many platforms as possible to maximize your fan base and reach people regardless of which streaming service they use.
    • Making money in modern times comes from multiple small streams of income pooling together • Even 100 streams on a smaller platform adds value and reaches people in your audience
    Include everyone in your fan base by distributing to all platforms—some fans only listen on Amazon Music, Google Play, Deezer, or Tidal.
    Releasing music is an incredible feeling that lets you draw a line under your work, reflect on it, and grow as a musician while moving forward to new projects.
