I've followed a lot of advice from Tim and the group and have made dramatic improvements to the quality of my audio. I'm now at the point where I'm ready to make a plan for branding, videos, and promotion.
First, I am currently working with a partner on a 5 song cover album and a 5 song original album for my band the Biscotti Boys. I want to release the audio and video for the songs gradually over a few months but is there a way for Distrokid to collect revenue from music videos on YouTube? Also how does it work with cover songs and YouTube covers? We wanted to do audio and a music video for all of the songs.
Second, I've been playing out for 2 decades and know a ton of acoustic covers. I want to post them on YouTube for streaming revenue. How do I go about doing this legally and do you actually make money from it or does the original artist take most the cut? Heres a sample of a test recording I did earlier today.
Thanks everyone!
