How To Sell Your Music Online

Time to sell your music online?

You’ve spent countless hours writing, recording and mixing your latest Single, EP or Album. Maybe you’ve had it professionally mastered or got it up to broadcast standard yourself.

What now?

In the old days, you would need a record company to distribute your music on your behalf.

Nowadays it’s much easier to get your music onto streaming sites like Spotify, Apple Music or digital storefronts like iTunes and Amazon using online music distribution services.

And make no mistake, as cool as it is to hold a freshly pressed CD with you and/or your band’s name on it, the vast majority of music listeners consume their tunes via streaming services.

There’s a lot of choices when it comes to choosing which online distributor to go with. There are so many things to consider – price, royalties, copyright ownership etc.

Since doing some extensive research on the subject last year, I recommend (and personally use) a distribution company called DistroKid.

For a ridiculously small annual fee (compared to their competitors), you can upload as many Albums, EPs or singles as you want – no limits, no caps, no bullsh*t.

In the video below I show you how easy it is to release your music using DistroKid and demonstrate just how fast these guys can get your music onto major streaming platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music and more.
