    Online Music: Smooth Sailing through Digital Distribution

    Curious Online Music distribution? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. After going to the studio and making all those recordings, how do you get people to listen to your music? Towing the path of physical distribution such as creating CDs, sharing links to radios and other people’s private chats is quite tasking.

    Technology over the years has brought about the realization of digital streaming platforms such as Show4me, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube music and so on. These platforms are basically virtual libraries of a wide variety of music, accessible to individuals across the globe.

    They also help preserve the work of artists by preventing downloads and permitting streaming for a fee. But it has become a difficult task to generate engagement on these platforms. So music creators often look for alternative ways to increase their audience. Spotify users keep looking for the best sites to buy Spotify plays to get rapid success.

    Online music

    Getting your music online means music lovers from any corner of the earth can listen to you. The COVID pandemic saw the rise in user subscriptions on various streaming platforms as people turned to online music for comfort. As an artist, making your music available online is relevant for quite a number of reasons. 

    Here are some benefits of Online Music Distribution

    1. Efficiency 

    Going the digital way means a faster, more efficient manner of sharing your music with people. Asides from word of mouth, people can easily access your music without stress via links on your social media bios or your posts. With a single click, your song gets streamed.

    2. Exposure

    Your chances of building a fanbase increases as online music will help you find and connect with your audience. Online music stores have multifarious playlists that help listeners find what they’re looking for. With your music on a playlist, your chances of getting listened to is higher. 

    3. Monetization 

    Everyone wants to get value for their talent. This does not exclude the hardworking artist. Streaming platforms ensure that you get paid your royalties. How? These platforms generate revenue through various means such as ads, user subscriptions and so on. This implies that people can pay to listen to your music. Fans can pre-order your singles, albums or EPs even before they get released. Depending on your agreement with them, you can get paid your royalties as long as they have your work on their platform. 

    4. Copyright 

    You may have considered physical distribution as a means to curb illegal downloads of your songs. Digital distribution avails you the opportunity of retaining your right to your song, especially if you are an independent artist. You may choose to take down your work from certain platforms or make it exclusively available in certain regions, depending on the platform you choose. Also, your royalties do not have to pass through any record label but come straight to you. 

    Final Thoughts

    Using digital platforms means that whether you record your song in a studio or in the corner of your room, there’s no barrier preventing people who love your music from readily accessing it. Which is why a platform like Show4me is built to give both fan and artist the ultimate streaming / online music experience.

    Get featured on their charts and top tracks of the month. Get your own Artist club where fans from all over the globe can reach out and connect with you. Start building your own music brand without inhibitions by using Show4me.
