(Off Topic)Distribution Deal

[billv]

I finally went pro and got a Distribution deal for all my music....
All my music is now available across all steaming services like Spotify/You tube...ect ect
and for purchase at places like iTunes/Amazon....ect ect
The Artist name is the same, so just type in..BV Music Sydney Australia...in the search bar...
I also built an online Gift Store..... https://giftshop-bvm.com/...

Good luck! May your songs be heard all over the world.
(I heard, Distro Kid is the best in that regard?)

Yes...DistroKid is awesome... and I keep 100% of the royalties.
The whole experience was very painless..I did all the artwork and uploaded 16 albums in one afternoon.
There was no need for re-mastering....was very happy about that..
The only real dissappoinment, like in iTunes for example, was that none of the albums went
on the new releases list...so i missed out on some serious exposure.

To make it easy for newcomers..I packaged all the best songs into 4 Greatest Hits albums.

I have to share the downsides that are very serious...
1. Your release will not appear on New Releases at iTunes(for example)....therefore your release
goes into a guaranteed f##king black hole..never to to seen, heard or discovered...
the only way out of this scenario is to spend a shitload of money on adversing...
2.They use chatbots for thier support system....useless,and relly annoying and fucking cringworthy...
3.The worst of all..they claim you keep 100% of royalties...fucking bullshit....
I set the itunes price at $1.....goto itunes...thier charging $2.....someone is making 100$ profit on every
$1 sale.....So now i have to steer all customers away from iTunes....where thier getting ripped off...

The rest, is like I said...awesome...rolaties from steaming sevices are coming in ....Spotify seems to be working
the best....No 1 streamed song is... Kissing In The Rain.... ..really good song..and that makes me happy..

At my website I have releases a monster package..!6 Albums in One,,,,for only $100...saving $60
