DistroKid Review → Should You Use It? 

I WANT TO..but i hear good and bad things about them.. Jared Dines and Stevie T for example used it or are using it..i am curious!

My pleasure!

Well, thanks! Such a nice compliment!

@@CharlesCleyn ☺️ also very informative video! you got a new sub from me!

Great to have you join the community!

No you don't but there are some extra options you cam pay for if you like but you don't have to.

maybe some day, get your music out there!

There is a time delay from the moment a stream happens to when the distributors can pay you out. This is about 70-90 days. Unfortunately, right now, there is no quicker way if you're an independent artists

there's always pros and cons to things but you have to see what's right for you

yes i believe they will take a 30% US income tax if you're not located in the US, it's unfortunate for a lot of people but if your country has tax treaty with the US then you won't have to pay for it

@@CharlesCleyn ok thanks for the information...

@@CharlesCleyn What about the UK?

You have to pay every year. Once you stop paying then the music will be taken down

@@CharlesCleyn pretty much yeah

@@CharlesCleyn yes very good comment i must say, so true my brother, keep it up

You will need to fill out a tax form yes. After doing that once, it's very straightforward. There is no automatic copyright of the songs so you'll need to decide if you'd like to do that, I have a video on that here if you need answers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5vsAXsPdhXs.html

@@CharlesCleyn thanks brother I appreciate it a lot💪Stay Blessed 👏

It's true, if you aren't in the US then you will be subject to paying UX taxes. However, if your country has a tax treaty with the US then you'll be fine. For example, Canada does.

Charles Cleyn I wonder if the U.K. does as my friend uses it & did not have to fill out a tax form 🧐 thank you by the way

Thats not how it works. On average depending on the streaming service, each stream pays out $0.005. Thats my experience

Not everyone has the same experience. Was just sharing my experience over the past 3.5 years. Thanks for sharing.

@@EdgetonWolfeDrezwellington my experience is just over the same amount of time and to date ive earned just under $4

@@ChekuL8er $4 better than nothing, definitely. Sounds like a similar experience. You may relate to this, as it seems the world has always had complete opposite taste in just about everything we create and do in life. Don't get me wrong; happy to still survive each day and be alive, but for the most part i believe things do or do not happen for a reason. I believe 100% it is lication and environment. Always has been. My fault wad I always took family advice, set aside any opportunities and goals most my life to stay and do what any normal person would do, just live. Many years created so much and nobody knows cares or anything has ever changed or made a difference. It's time for a new big change my friend. I cannot say, hey, do as I do, but can share a new change and goal I am working towards. Look online, read reviews, look for places, even outside America that would fit your lifestyle you need for Music, Art, anything that makes you happy. A new life,new change with a happier environment will easily create a domino effect of the life you never realized you needed or wanted. I did it before years ago, my mistake was coming back, I became more physically disabled, and fell back into being miserable again. But you know, I say a dream in your heart us unstoppable. No matter the barriers against you. Believe from your in what you do, those talents will guide you better than most people could. Follow your gut, man. Look for others with that same dream, and others who have done it. Follow their steps how they made it. Use that theory in pretty much anything. We choose our ending too early, and our environment changes us; some good, some bad. Believe me,even after so much tragedy in life, its just been me and my dog about everyday. That is a reason. Friends and family are not always as they seem. But I promise, those that continue coming back or stick around, you will notice many good changes. Life, creativity, experience meeting others and on the road is the feeling I always missed, still do. Life feels meaningless and repetitive most days till we all find our inner happiness. Hope this helps, and best wishes aling the way. Get bored, keep in touch my friend.

@@ChekuL8er" Words to Live By"-Dream big. Plan ahead. Get up early. Stay focused. Watch less TV. Invest in yourself. Read more books. Avoid time wasters. Take calculated risks. Write down your goals. Live on less than you make. Make your health a priority. Do work that matters to you. Learn from people you admire. Foster meaningful relationships. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Take action, even when it's scary. Have a powerful and inspiring "Why."

Ya, that's the unfortunate part
