New Age Distribution

Distribution has definitely changed over the past 5-10 years, primarily due to the Internet craze. Social media has grown legs and not only begun to walk but has learned to run. Through the vast outlets that the Internet has created for distribution, the ways of pitching your project to a label or distribution company have evolved. These outlets are not just limited to music, but include all aspects of distribution such as gaming, literary works, film, and of course my love, music. After careful research, I have narrowed my distribution search to a few companies that cater to the indie artist also known as the “do it your self (DIY)” artist. I have found Tunecore the most useful because of its extensive outlets where it distributes your music. It distributes to AmazonMP3, thumbplay, the Nokia Music Store, Zune, iTunes and even Rock Band just to name a few. There are 3 (three) very simple steps to sell your music through Tunecore: Upload your music, Upload your art, and Pick your stores! That’s it you are done! Simple right? It is also free to set up an account, however you do pay a fee for distribution depending on what you desire to distribute. It is $9.99/year per single or ringtone and $49.99/year per album. The beauty is that you the artist maintain ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS, receive 100% of your royalties; access to free trending sales reports, streaming media players and an exclusive iTunes artist ping page. You are probably asking why you should even chose Tunecore to distribute your music despite everything I have just stated above, well they are the LARGEST and MOST TRUSTED music distributor in the world. They are a preferred partner of all of the top digital stores in addition to their artists receive better deal terms than anyone else. The company has even partnered with Universal Music group to help get music licensed for TV shows, movies, and video games. I could continue to list the many benefits of Tunecore but that would take the fun out of you surfing the website, RIGHT? So go create your FREE account today and explore the site to decide if it is best fit for where you want to distribute your music. I have a strong feeling you will not be too disappointed.
