Yes, it really does take 3 MONTHS (to be paid streaming royalties)

Hey Pete, great video! I have two questions: 1. On DistroKid, what are all of the ways to withdraw money? 2. Are the payouts every month? If not, how often are they?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. PayPal is best for international users though there are other options for North American folks. Royalties are posted monthly, and you can choose to withdraw at any time once you have a positive balance. More info here. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

@@PeteJohnsMusic ok, thanks for the help Pete!

[@princessl.d.g.]

Somehow when I released a song using Distrokid, one of my songs got sent to the wrong Artist profile. Lol.

[@metallsnubben]

Like a straight up other person/account? Did you even have similar names?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Check out the DistroKid “fixer” option. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

Im pretty sure when I started using amuse a few years ago, the payments came in like after a bit over a month. Then at some point it just started taking longer 😅 Makes sense I think because they add more stores there constantly.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yeah you’re probably right.

[@emiel333]

Great ❤ video, Pete!

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Cheers Emiel.

[@OrchestraEclipse]

Yh with my distributor it takes 3 months for the first payment, then 45 days for the next ones

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yeah right?

[@GaryHubbs]

Strangely enough, it also takes three months for referral payments to come through as well.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yeah… it didn’t used to? I guess they wanted to “align” it? 🤔

[@GaryHubbs]

@@PeteJohnsMusic I’ve only been blessed once, there is a possibility that the sample size is too small 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@R3GALMUSIK]

Good sir, I dropped a song on the 21 of June, I’ve been expecting royalties from the 21 of September, but up to this day, as at the time of writing this, I haven’t been able to see any royalties in my bank. Can you clear me on this? Been searching for answers

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Sounds like most of your streams would be in July so will be reported in October for payment in November? studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

[@R3GALMUSIK]

@@PeteJohnsMusic progressively, the numbers in the bank have been increasing by cents. Now it’s around $2 in there, but I have over 450k streams on Spotify and I surely don’t use Bots! Could i be still expecting my money this October? I’m just concerned because it’s over 3 months as distrokid said to get earnings.

[@R3GALMUSIK]

@petejohnsmusic ?

[@R3GALMUSIK]

@@PeteJohnsMusic awaiting your reply

[@joseborges3422]

What day does Spotify make payments? So far I have only received payments from KZbin, TikTok and Amazon

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

I think it depends. Nothing in the world of streaming and distribution is very clear I’m afraid. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

[@305KingDavid]

Do royalties come every month?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yes. As long as you've earned some!

[@thomasct614]

Is this the same for tunecore as well?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yup. The issue lies with the platforms taking a long time to send data to distributors. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

[@stephenwalker850]

3 months or three decades

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Don’t make music to make money is my general tip.

[@22rapper]

@@PeteJohnsMusic but its a real job why would anyone wanna work for free

[@wokefromthenarc-awakenmyspirit]

It’s been over two months so far 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

It’ll be at least 3.

[@infinitefitness3730]

so, after the 2-3 month delay, they'll payout every month?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yup. 3 months in arrears moving forward.

[@princessl.d.g.]

First
