Watched and followed your stuff for years now, I'm so happy for you and i love your transparency, keep it up and never change. Always rooting for you! ❤
A lot of content creators say they're going to explain something and be transparent...and then they're just not. You really lay it out and I appreciate that. Thank you! Make sure you're paying your taxes since this is all public lol! But great channel!
@@shockwavestudiosproduction4930distrokid counts up Money from all digital stores. I just Think he forgot to mention it. So the amount that he Got is from every platform. Plus Spotify is by far the most used platform when listening to Music so that might be why he just talked about that.
why not sell straight to consumer?.. You get paid 0.003 cents per play. add cost of microphones, software, time ?!?.. how does 0.003 cents make sense?... 5000 downloads for an album at $20 is $100,000. 1 million streams is $4,000??!!.. Simple math. I'll go for selling my own album digitally and aim for the 5,000 downloads at $20 per album and get the $100,000. We need to stop these major companies from telling us artist how much our work cost. 0.003 cents is beyond a slap in the face.
Streaming music is basically free nowadays. Good luck getting even 100 people to pay $20 for an album unless you’re a main stream artist. Nobody wants to pay for music consumption unfortunately
@@ClipzCollective I already have sold my album. My fans have paid up to $50 for the album because they appreciate the art I make. You just need a loyal fan base.
Hey Eddie! Thank you for all the informative videos! Always love watching them and learning something new! I produced a song inspired by deathbed using your drum sounds from the vol 1 pack! I’d love to share it with you!
you are one of the few people who talk about the different payouts based off of where they stream. Most of my listeners are from the Philippines so they payout is significantly lower than everywhere else!
bro, I'm working on somethings as well! Ive been trying to work my ahh off just making music, videos, everything I can to keep going. I've been seeing some numbers and it gets me really excited! I notice that you don't upload that much but I do encourage you to upload more on RU-vid because I love the style of your videos, it's just what I look for in a content creator! I took the time typing this out because if someone thought the same about my content, I would want them to tell me all about it. Much love ❤
Bro honestly at this point i need a mentor. I got NO ONE to speak to about Spotify and RU-vid related growth. All i be doing is watching videos tryna get scraps to work off of.
Is the distrokid you showed, only from spotify? How about, apple music and amazon music etc? Would love to know your total distrokid income from all streaming platforms
When you’re running ad campaigns for your songs, how many do you usually have going at one time? Curious how much you spend and how you decide which songs to push
You know.. many people will tend to hide these things, thank u so much for showing us, it made me discover your content and learn about monetization. Again thanks for showing us, it increases transparency and with these vids, the world will know how spotify treats artists.
hey mate, thanks for the great content! Just curious what are your actual net earnings after you deduct FB/IG ads costs? I feel like that’s the most important factor. Is this strategy profitable? Thanks a lot in advance!
Great work! Many people opt to work for a company instead of work as an entrepreneur, so are you shuffling aside money for things like retirement or investments? If so, is there anything you can share to the larger community to ensure long-term success? Do you ever feel concerned your current streams will dwindle over time unless you keep putting out music/continue innovating?
Hey man, I saw the vid from Kyle beats and he made a song with Nic d - Rock bottom. I was wondering if you can make a song with him if he is down - his style of his song with Connor price it’s like hip pop style but his own song it’s like country into R&B soul. Give it a shot then lmk if it’s suitable to you Love the vids ❤
He said $200 a month, but I don't buy that. Most labels are lucky to recoup half their ad spend from streaming revenue. Spotify should be used as a secondary marketing tool, not as a means of income.
Hey I would like it know if you’re willing to reveal, why do you only own 35-40% of your streams. Are you signed to a record label? Or do your distribution and publishing own a percentage? Are there any songs you own close to 100%? Just would like to know. Btw love your content and music. Hope the best for the future of your career as a musician and content creator 🙌🏾✨
How much for 196,000 plays on my song 10,000 coming from apple music and the rest from Spotify the majority like 65% coming from Brazil by ad supporters
It makes more sense to compare streams to singles than albums. The next thing is to figure out how many streams equals one single sale. Let's say it is reasonable for someone who likes your song enough to buy it to actually play it 100 times in a month. In that scenario, your million streams actually only equates to 10,000 single sales. But you're still not done, because the person who purchased your single might listen to it for more months regularly without having to pay for it again. Those 10,000 single sales suddenly become 5000 *or less.* So you're looking at $5,000 or less assuming your MP3s sell for a dollar. Hence, the $2,000 for a million streams is actually perfectly reasonable. Another reason streams might be helpful is that the algorithm might suggest more of your songs to listeners who regularly stream your songs already.
I’m excited to start sharing some deeply emotional music on my channel. It’s a powerful outlet for me 😔, and I’d love for you to be a part of this journey. If you’re moved by music that touches the soul 😢, please consider subscribing to stay updated with my latest releases.
Why are you doing x 0.4 after you calculated the earnings? 5 million streams is 11k, that's correct and then you're doing times 0,4 and then suddenly 5 million streams is 4400?? That's wrong
Cause I own 40% of the royalties on average. I work with other artists and we split the royalties on the songs we collaborate on. If I owned 100% then yes I would get the full 11k.
So you only distribute to Spotify? Because you are only talking about Spotify streams and revenue. What about the other platforms you distribute to? Like RU-vid music, Apple Music, etc...
