Get Your Music on Spotify, Tik Tok, Instagram... |Make $$$ | The Musicians Guide to:

In this podcast we cover all the do's and dont's of music distribution on all the major streaming platforms, as well as ways to get your physical formats (Vinyl, Cassettes, CDs...) and merch out there to your audience.

We give you some invaluable insights into things like Mastering, Sync Licensing, Copyright, and a heap of other important stuff that every independent musician needs to compete in the vast landscape of the online music business.

When it comes time to start navigating through all the options and technicalities of online music distribution, many musicians find the jargon and legal frameworks to be very daunting, especially if you've never done it before, so this guide will definitely help you get your head around the most important aspects of music distribution, and will hopefully help you make the whole experience less stressful.

While we have tried to keep the legal and technical talk simple and easy to understand, we definitely recommend that you join your local music rights organisation, such as ASCAP in the US, or APRA/AMCOS in Australia and New Zealand for example, they have a huge number of resources for artists to access, and they can usually offer you the best, most current advice on where you stand with your rights, royalties, and other performance related matters.

They have a list of links to all the different countries performing rights organisations.

We are not sponsored or being paid to promote any of the commercial distribution companies mentioned in this podcast, and we advise listeners to do their own research and seek qualified advice before signing up for any services, this is simply a guide to give you a better insight into the many different options and services out there.
