In this ever-changing world of
entertainment publishing, there are countless resources in getting your work
published and out to all viewers. As a
musician and studio owner, I try to find the avenue of publishing with the most
benefits. From TuneCore, to CDBaby, each website offers different aspects when
publishing your work.
Many publishing websites work with
streaming media players such as YouTube, Spotify, Rdio, etc. These streaming
players are the key to getting your work out to the public. I have found
YouTube to be an extremely popular source. In today’s ever changing technology
world, YouTube has become one of the prime ways of gaining popularity with your
work.
So what makes a bad
publishing site?
Many
publishing sites offer free subscriptions, and connect with various streaming
sites. However, there are some sites, while they do offer free accounts, you
have to pay to get your work out to the popular sites.
I have
found that this is more of a way to go when you have been gaining profit on your
work. For example, if someone is just starting out, they may want to find the
site like TuneCore and CDBaby, set up free accounts and have them streamed to
all the popular websites to see how their work will fair.
In my business, I have a wide range of sites I could choose
from. From social media, to iTunes, any work done in my studio can reach
endless possibilities. I have found that the most reliable way to publish your
work is to market it at the same time. For example, if one publishes a CD on
TuneCore, they should share it on every social media site they have to direct
everyone to their work. Often times, people publish work and then do not market,
or promote it.
Publishing your work is a great way for the public to be in
contact with your business, but doing the work in marketing and promoting will
only benefit your profit and business.
