**How to Sell your music via Digital Distributors ?** Greetings I’ve started a Record Label, and got 3 artists already signed, but we need more exposure. 2 Artists do House Music and other R&B. 1. I would like to know how I can put my label on online store with our music ! 2. I would like to know how I can see music through a reliable Digital Distributor 3. How I can sell/promote my music on Traxsource + Juno + Beatport + iTunes etc etc I’ve came across with TuneCore but I would like something very reliable to do it. Thanks in advance ---

You have to pay another company to do it for you. ---

@Zer0beet : What company you recommend to do it ? Need more options. I’ ve came across with : [dittomusic.com](http://dittomusic.com) | [tunecore.com](http://tunecore.com) | [cdbaby.com](http://cdbaby.com) but im not sure their are reliable. Any advices on this matter would be very useful. ---

That’s I’m aware, but what best company shall deliver that good service for my label ? Just a quick remind that my label needs a digital distribution site to promote their artists songs ! ---

ReverbNation seems to be pretty competent with their set up. They allow you to make a public page for your label and each of your artists, mailing lists and all of that good stuff. And at the same time they have a distribution package that will have all of your content posted for sale in iTunes and other places. I’m not sure if BeatPort is included though, so you’d have to check on that if you want music posted in BeatPort. ---

You’ve started a label and signed three artists yet you don’t know how to distribute? I wouldn’t want to sign with you for the priorities there alone, however I wish the best of luck. ---

Xonetacular! No need to be so hard on the guy, we are here to help not criticize! As for promotion you’ll want to get the name of the artists out there FIRST! The best option in my opinion is hosting a HUGE party! Invite damn near everyone, and have each artist play their tunes, hand out cards, make contacts and all of the regular stuff there. At the party make sure the name of your record label, as well as a web address is posted around the area (banners and light projectors work well). You want the name of the label to be in peoples minds, but you don’t want it to be the biggest thing at the party. Let each artists flourish as an individual. As the individual artists get fame, so will the label itself. As your artists are given work, and produce good works, fans will come. Now I’m 16 and your probably wondering what makes my advice trustworthy. Well its because this is what my label does! And it works pretty well. I will say that our online notoriety is quite meager, but our public notoriety is great! There isn’t a party in my state that the Icon DJs aren’t involved with! ANYWAY! As for content sales. RevebNation is great as I said earlier. RouteNote seems to be legit as well, though their free package has you losing a bit of profit. TuneCore seems to work well too! ---

As for RouteNote, don’t expect much revenue from most digital sales so it’s not a big loss if RouteNote takes some of the meager profits. ---

Yes that is true, but nothing in life is truly free. Am I right? You pay one way or another! And as for the candies? I think that’s over kill but you can do that if you want. ---

You’re 16 and have your own label or you’re on a label, I’m confused since I couldn’t find you on beatport 🙂 ---

I think that’s over kill but you can do that if you want. Now, my biggest complaint with RouteNote is that they only accept 320kpbs MP3s, no Beatport presence and their customer support is up and down, sometimes the upload site works, sometimes not. Otherwise it’s a good way to release all kinds of music to the commercial sites. Now, that does little to guarantee that people find the music. For that you need a very proactive record label. ---

I’m part of a label! I don’t own my own (not sure I could handle all that)! And I just said our Online notoriety is small XD! Everyone in our area (Delaware Philly Lower PA) usually comes to us. ---

**Zer0beet** Thanks for the hints and tips, I’m sure their are very useful not only for me, but for any upcoming artist. In my case im a artist who does some tasks of the label its self. In terms of promoting on our local area I planned the following (allow me to share some ideas, maybe you guys can help me correct some aspects) Artist : Afrokaya Genre : Afro - Deep - Soulful - Progressive house Members : DJ Wizard (DJ and vocals) and Fourty7 (Producer and Vocals) Promotion 1. Local Radio Stations 2. Local DJ’s 3. Online Digital Distribution sites) 4. Soundcloud 5. Friends via e-mail 6. Promotion via Twitter + Facebook What you guys think ? What you guys think about [www.digdis.de](http://www.digdis.de) ? is it a reliable source ? ---

**Getting on Beatport** Not all distributors support Beatport distribution. Also Beatport will reserve the right to not sell your music if they do not think it is up to their standards. That is part of what makes Beatport so great. IF its on there that is a statement of quality in itself. IndiGoBoom can get your tracks on there if they are good enough. They offer unlimited uploads and fast delivery for a low flat fee. Most of the other distributors will charge you extra for anything other than itunes and a couple of other services. IndiGoBoom has all teh stores and still only the flat fee. > [@djwizard](#): > > Greetings > > I’ve started a Record Label, and got 3 artists already signed, but we need more exposure. > > 2 Artists do House Music and other R&B. > > 1.
