Why Music Distribution Alone Isn’t Enough
Many independent artists believe that uploading their music to streaming platforms is enough to generate income and grow a career. The truth? Simply distributing your music isn’t enough—you need a strategy to maximize exposure, revenue, and fan engagement.
If you’re serious about building a sustainable music career, you need to understand the right way to distribute your music globally, retain control, and get paid.
What Is Music Distribution & How Does It Work?
Music distribution is the process of making your music available on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and 600+ other platforms worldwide. But not all distribution methods are created equal.
Many services will upload your music and do nothing else—leaving you without promotion, marketing, or funding to actually succeed. That’s where GT Digital Distribution stands out.
How to Get Your Music on 600+ Platforms Worldwide
With GT Digital, your music gets placed on every major streaming service, but distribution is just the start. Here’s how to ensure your music doesn’t just sit on platforms—but actually gets discovered and played:
Step 1: Choose the Right Distributor
Many artists default to using platforms like DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby, but not all distribution services provide the same value.
​Here’s a quick comparison:
GT Digital offers far more than basic distribution—we help artists build a profitable career, access funding, and get strategic promotion.
Step 2: Optimize Your Music Before Distribution
Before you release your music, ensure you:
âś… Register for Performance Royalties (BMI, ASCAP, SoundExchange)
âś… Include Correct Metadata (Artist Name, Track Title, ISRC Codes, etc.)
âś… Submit Your Music for Playlist Consideration (Spotify for Artists, Apple Music for Artists)
Step 3: Use a Smart Release Strategy
Most independent artists drop music randomly and expect it to gain traction. Instead, follow this proven strategy:
âś… Pre-Save Campaigns: Encourage fans to save your track before release.
âś… Staggered Release Approach: Drop a single, then an EP, then an album to maintain momentum.
âś… Cross-Promote on Social Media: Use Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts to drive traffic.
How to Keep 100% of Your Rights & Masters While Maximizing Your Earnings
Major labels take huge percentages from artists' earnings. Many distribution platforms also charge fees or take a cut of streaming royalties.
With GT Digital, you keep 100% of your rights & masters while leveraging our performance-based model, where we make you money first—or we don’t get paid. This ensures that your interests are always prioritized and that you retain full control over your career.
Music Funding Up to $50K: Fueling Your Growth
Why does funding matter for music distribution? Simple—having money to invest in marketing, visuals, and promotion determines whether your release succeeds or flops.
Here’s how artists use funding to maximize success:
✅ Music Video Production – High-quality visuals drive more streams and social media engagement.
✅ Advertising & Promotions – Targeted Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ads bring in more listeners.
✅ PR & Press Coverage – Get featured on blogs, magazines, and interviews to boost credibility.

Well, what I do is help artists like that take control of their music careers by providing them with the tools, resources, and distribution power they need to scale faster than ever.
