This is a complete tutorial of DistroKid. A full breakdown of all the features. I've been using distrokid for almost two years now to release unlimited songs on all platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music but I also use DistroKid to release music on TikTok, Instagram and many more platforms. I've been a satisfied user so far so I wanted to share my experiences with you.
Distrokid reached out to me a little while back asking me if I wanted to make a video about DistroKid. So yes this video is sponsored but I wouldn't do this video if I didn't find value in their brand. I still don't regret my decision to sign up with them and I want to give you the same opportunity: release unlimited songs (or albums) on all platforms and streaming services for a flat fee!
