[@sampsonmews7694]

Hey man, great video! Once our channel becomes artist verified, does the old DK generated "Artist - Content" channel delete itself? If not, what should we do with it?

[@NickJacobsMusic]

Yes it is going to merge with the artist channel, so there is only one channel left 😌

[@sampsonmews7694]

@@NickJacobsMusic Thanks for the reply! Just have another question - at the step where you have to allow distrokid to access your google account (after selecting your appropriate gmail), after I click allow it takes me back to the "choose an account" window, so I'm not sure if the request went through as there's no sort of confirmation page?

[@gauravpatel5935]

Hi Nicks.I got this message 3 months ago and still can't get artist channel yet. Second Distrokid uploaded my song on wrong artist page.They say you can remove from your artist channel. But how, youtube isn't giving me artist channel tag.

[@ashlmusic7399]

So you need a personal youtube channel and a channel that KZbin creates when you release music through distrokid? like a personal channel and a topic channel?

[@NickJacobsMusic]

Exactly those two :)

@nick Jacobs please answer me. I did everything and my Distrokid profile says: ****** is already connected to your youtube channel. Right on! However, I go over my youtube channel and my first release isn't there, and I haven't my OAC check yet from youtube. What is going on? I do not know who to talk with :/

[@attiathomas1769]

When it ur first time releasing music through distrokid does it connect to your KZbin account when u release a song or do u have to release the song on ur own?

[@NickJacobsMusic]

you have to release this song first and then KZbin will create a topic page. Once you have a topic page you can connect that to your KZbin channel!

[@attiathomas1769]

Nick Jacobs from one song or 3 ? bc other video’s have said release 3 songs then u can have a artistries account

[@NickJacobsMusic]

Yes you have to release at least 3 songs to get your own topic page :(

[@jimandrews9087]

I went through Distrokid and set up an official artist channel, what I got was a topic channel, what should I do or can do?

Hello Nick ! Thank you for your video its really helpful. In my case, i'm very new on Distrokid and i have only released one single on distrokid so far. I did all the process needed to get my youtube channel linked with my youtube artist as you explain but i didn't receive the first mail saying "we've received your request etc.... we will get back to you soon". Is that normal ? I have heard somewhere that you need to release at least 3 single to get certified, is that true ? Or should I just wait more ? Thank you so much... I'm a bit lost 😫

Hello, I receive from youtube email, that my official youtube channel has approved, but where is my note badge? Can you help

[@dice1ne694]

Hello, my KZbin STUDIO is completely gone, its a blank white page, its been around 4 days now, and still nothing, it is impossible to contact KZbin and I havent seen any sites or videos with answers..... I can upload videos, but that is it. When you upload a video, you can usually see the dashboard stuff behind the upload screen on the left, but its completely blank, only a white page, and if I "X" out of the upload screen, it will go to the blank white page and it will have a DOG in the middle which says "oops something went wrong"..... the thing is, I have another channel and its working as normal, but I have 2 channels which it is currently not working.....my only Theory is (and this happened directly after I did this): I am a music artist, and the 2 channels in question are my 2 artist pages. I distribute my music through Distrokid, and I recently just decided to "sync" my KZbin channels to an "Artist Channel", and being that this happened directly after I did that,

[@WastedContender]

very helpful, thanks Nick!

[@RAM-rc8cj]

It didn't make a new artist page for anything except spotify and apple, rn my music is on someone else's profile, I tried using fixer but 3 months later and still nothing had changed, any suggestions?

[@RoyalTech]

hey, man does that start monetization automatically as well or u still need to do the 4000 Hours?

[@NickJacobsMusic]

it doesnt change monetization! We still need 4000 hours! But if you release music and opt in for distrokid KZbin monetisation, you can put ads in front of your songs at least and earn money with them!

[@RoyalTech]

Nick Jacobs fair enough thanks!

[@smokewish]

I did it yesterday and I still haven’t gotten the email from KZbin… is that normal? I’m talking about the email where KZbin lets you know you have applied

[@gabriel_levi]

Question! I just got approved for the OAC and my analytics have vanished for my original content (my tutorials, reviews, etc.) and I'm only seeing analytics for songs from Distrokid. Yesterday my analytics showed 12K views in the last 28 and days to a whopping 100 views today. Did you run into the same issue? Thanks!

[@JJShalashaska]

so this means that the "topic channel" gets removed and all the tracks distributed in the topic channel show up in your only official musical channel? If yes, I'll sign to Distrokid right now.

[@NickJacobsMusic]

That’s how it’s supposed to be, but I distributed all m previous songs with distrokid before, so I don’t know for sure if the topic channel from older songs will disappear, but i think it should! Better contact their support first ☺️💪🏼

[@EastWestTrack]

Thanks, Nick for your video. I already got my artist channel through Distrokid but I don't see the album section in my channel as you mentioned. Is there any I should do to show it on my channel?

I recently emailed artist support and they replied saying that they only accept people who are apart of the KZbin partner program, what do i do ??

[@flvshmedia]

Hello, im sorry for late reply but im watching this because im bored. xd Anyway, youtube changed requirments for Official Artist Channel upgrade. U must have 1k subs and 4k watchtime for OAC. If u want OAC free u can try routenote distribution, all u need is to distribute one song through routenote distribution and apply for OAC through their google form. Best solution is to pay distrokid or cdbaby and get it. Thats ur choice hope i helped. :)

[@kareen9712]
