In theory, it's never been easier for musicians to get their music out to the world then it is right now. Anyone can sign up with a digital distributor, upload their music, deliver it to the DSP(s) and start making money. Sounds easy right???

Well, for some it can be, but for others not so much. Whether it's a lack of technical knowhow, industry knowledge or even just patience, setting up distribution and royalty collection can be a very frustrating and time consuming process for many independent musicians.

The truth is, your favorite big-name artist doesn't have to worry about this because they have a label to handle these tasks and provide expertise where needed. Many artists think that indie distributors offer the same level of service and are often disappointed when they find out that's not the case.

These services are DIY and their customer support teams are limited to handling tasks directly related to the business (if you can even reach them). So, if you need someone to walk you through a concept or process in depth or help you with uploading files or filling out information, you're mostly SOL.

That ends now, with DistroHelp.
