Step 1: Streaming Platforms
The big players — Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and SoundCloud — are where listeners expect to find you.
Why release here?
- Exposure to millions of potential fans.
- Play counts translate into royalties.
- Playlist placements can jumpstart careers.
💡 Tip: Release through a distributor (like DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby) to get your track on multiple platforms at once.
Step 2: Video Platforms
Don’t underestimate YouTube or TikTok. A good lyric video, performance clip, or behind-the-scenes look can capture attention fast.
Why release here?
- Music discovery is visual — especially for younger audiences.
- Viral potential is huge on TikTok.
- Fans connect more deeply when they see your personality.
Step 3: Social Media
Platforms like Instagram Reels, Facebook, and Twitter/X aren’t just about sharing updates — they’re mini distribution channels.
Why release here?
- Direct fan engagement.
- Builds your story and brand around the music.
- Great for teasers, snippets, and behind-the-scenes content.
Step 4: Niche & Emerging Platforms
Don’t ignore Bandcamp or other indie-friendly platforms. They allow fans to directly support you by buying downloads and merch.
Why release here?
- Strong indie community.
- Higher payouts per fan compared to streaming.
- Builds loyalty with your most dedicated listeners.
Step 5: Promotion Beyond Platforms
Registering with a PRO (like ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, or PRS) ensures you’re paid when your music is played publicly. Pair this with SongProof ownership protection, and you have both:
- Legal proof of creation (SongProof).
- Royalty collection system (PRO).
