NEXT STEPS - WHEN WE ARE MOVING FORWARD
Distrokid Splits
Each partner needs a distrokid account. cheapest and only really one they need is $22/year USE THIS LINK TO SIGN UP:Â
When a partner has a distrokid account, I can them find them in the system to add them as a revenue split partner it goes song by song.Â
HOW SONG REVENUE IS SPLIT IN DISTROKID
SEE MY SONGS IN STORIES FB/IG
IMAGINE HOW I CAN DEVELOP HUGE PILE OF TRACKS THAT CAN GROW without breaking ANY RULES, and as it grows and you expand all those tenticles and add the momentum from named people, it can do nothing but go upward, its the only direction. And when it’s THIS LEGIT ORIGINAL MUSIC OR —– LICENSED COVER SONGS!!Â
See example of how my songs are available for the world on FB/IG
NEXT LEVEL ACTIONS
COVER SONGS are 100% DOABLE AND FULLY LICENSED
Our cost $1/month, per song.
It Costs $1/month per Cover song we wish to release. We can do a cover (as far as I understand) of any song in existence for $1/month (and when its making money I think the artist makes like .08/cents on the $1/dollar. something like that.Â
So – THAT MEANS – We don’t necessarily have only do ORIGINALS ESPECIALLY if a $1/Month is all it really costs us, then we get to associate (legally) with the huge pop songs, VIRAL SONGS that you guys want to do a potentially licensiable version of DANCE MONKEY, which now that I say that out load. or GANGMAN STYLE And make a video that is all legal video clips – the DISTROVID has rules about it needin gto look like a MUSIC VIDEO. But I think thats a fairly easy adjustment for you if you were to bother with dipping into these types of videos.
WHAT CHAT GPT SAYS ABOUT COVERS
Its a limited US License and not involving YouTube Video I guess. But its at least for the mass audio distribution which is massive.Â
đŻ 1. Built-In Search & Discovery
People are already searching for popular songs â covering a well-known track taps into existing demand.
Your version may show up in search results, playlists, or auto-play recommendations.
â Result: You piggyback on existing audience interest.
đ 2. Faster Fanbase Growth
Familiar songs can break down resistance. Listeners are more likely to check out an artist they donât know if they already love the song.
Once they like your cover, they’ll explore your originals.
â Result: Covers become an âentry pointâ to your brand.
đĄ 3. Showcases Your Style
A cover lets you show how you reinterpret music â genre flips (e.g., reggae version of a pop hit) or emotional reworks can be powerful.
Itâs a creative portfolio piece that highlights your production, vocal, and stylistic identity.
â Result: Demonstrates originality even while doing ânon-originalâ material.
đ 4. Content Volume = Algorithm Love
Covers give you more content to release regularly, which helps you stay active in Spotify algorithms, like Release Radar and Discover Weekly.
DistroKid allows fast and affordable uploads, so itâs easy to keep momentum.
â Result: Consistent content = more traction across platforms.
đ 5. DistroKid Handles Licensing
If you use DistroKidâs cover song licensing feature, they:
Automatically secure the proper mechanical license
Pay the original songwriter
Ensure youâre legally covered (for U.S.-only sales/streams)
â Result: Legal peace of mind while profiting from the performance.
đ° 6. Monetization
As long as itâs licensed, you earn revenue from your version â performance, streams, tips, downloads.
Especially helpful if you bring a new audience to an old classic.
â Result: You make money while honoring someone elseâs hit.
â ď¸ A Few Caveats
No lyric changes allowed without permission (unless it’s a parody and you use a different license strategy).
Videos (like YouTube) need separate sync licenses â DistroKidâs cover license does not cover visual uses.
International streams may not be fully covered â DistroKidâs license is U.S. only (unless you clear rights separately).
đ¤ Strategic Tip:
Release a cover that complements your originals. For example:
A reggae-style cover of a classic rock song could drive traffic to your original reggae tracks.
Or do a weed-themed parody cover as The Ras Box and drop the clean version under Stashbox.
From ChatGPT
Revenue Expectations for Partners:
Influencers:
5,000 monthly listeners: Estimated $500/month in music royalties + product sales
25,000 monthly listeners: Estimated $2,500/month in music royalties + product sales
100,000 monthly listeners: Estimated $10,000/month in music royalties + product sales
Brands:
Estimated 15% increase in website traffic after a collaboration
Potential 10% increase in product sales per campaign, with recurring sales if subscription models are implemented
Â
SPOTIFY ONLY AUDIO ONLY PAYOUT ESTIMATION FROM CHATGPT
Unedited results, I asked ChatGPT what are the revenue expectations.Â
So note: Spotify is 1 of like 15 streaming services that the distribution goes to. As your Spotify grows, it only makes sense that your growth is roughly proportional on the other networks per/size of those networks.Â
ADD A SHOPIFY STORE TO SPOTIFY - YOURS / OURS
Make sense to give your fans one more high profile way into your merch store.Â
Also if you have live events, this is another way to promo those where they do pepper their audience with live event notifications.Â
So if our partner has a store – They can plug their store in direct and have a 100% direct relationship with Spotify and their store. God Bless’em.
or
We can create some print on demand merch for you, create a collection for you at our shopify store, and present that collection to your spotify audience and we make a split off the revenue sales of any merch that I probably would have to produce and program into the store, zero inventory, massively scaled already if we happen to unlock a flood of orders.Â
THE BIG SUMMARY POINT OF THIS
EARN MORE MONEY EXPAND YOUR AWARENESS
IF WE STAY IN BOUNDS we’re not renagade accounts, we’re compliant legit compliant not doing any black hat actions, not even close to black hat, that should provide us a level of stability for growth and long term use more viable. That is a significant value to thisÂ
Also, as we start to set people up, its adding professional expansion value to our partners, we are opening doors to new revneue buckets for them, without much downside or demand on them. Â
AGAIN – SEO VALUE ALONE, THIS IS WORTH IT.
