Steve PMHIn this day and age, you can’t just stop at releasing your music.
Nowadays, the visual aspect of music is just as important as the aural aspect. That’s why almost all artists out there release music videos with their songs. It’s a way of inviting the audience to listen to your music while also being entertained visually.
Having a music video also allows you to give your listeners and audience a more in-depth experience.
And the great thing is, you no longer need expensive cameras and a big budget to make and release a music video, in fact, all you need is your phone. And one of the best ways to do it is on Triller, an AI video application that allows you to make and post your music videos at the press of the button.
In this article, we take a look at why you should use Triller, how to create and post on the platform, and if you’ve been asking the question, “how to get my music on Triller?”, you’ve come to the right place as we also answer that in detail in this article.
Read on to find out more.
Why Use Triller?
The answer to this question is actually very simple: it allows you to bring your music to a wider audience in a unique way. Triller uses AI technology to allow you to record music videos for your own songs and for songs of other artists really easily.
In fact, you don’t even have to do most of the editing by yourself, the app will do it for you!
How the app does this is it detects the movement of your lips and body and it will automatically match the best takes to the song you’ve chosen. So you can record multiple takes of yourself lip-syncing, singing, or dancing to the song, and then all you have to do is let the app work its magic and presto! You have your own unique music video.
You can also post the video directly to the app which can be accessed by millions of users all over the world. You can use hashtags and the like to allow people to discover your music.
But before you can start doing that, you have to first make your song available on the platform and to do that, you have to follow a couple of steps, which get into in the next section.
How Do I Get My Music On Triller?
Triller doesn’t have its own music platform, instead, it uses music that’s already uploaded or music from your own device. You can choose to upload the song manually from your phone on to Triller, but it might be easier for you if you already have your song uploaded on another music platform.
Aside from being more convenient, if your song is already on a streaming platform such as Spotify or Apple Music, whenever your music video gets played on Triller, it will also help your song get promoted on the platform. For example, CalBoy released a challenge called the #EnvyMeChallenge on the app which required users to use the track in their own videos, and it resulted in a huge boost in streams on Spotify.
By having your song on Triller, millions of users can use it for their video which not only will help you earn money, but will also give your art more exposure.
But while you can upload and distribute your music on streaming services yourself, it’s an arduous task, which is why it may be better to go through a distributor. These online distributors will be the ones to upload your songs on streaming platforms for you, which will allow you and millions of other Triller users to use your song in their video.
Let’s take a look at a couple of the top distributors in the game right now.
1. TuneCore
This is one of the most popular and convenient distributors used by musicians today. This is because of how easy uploading can be through these distributors. Instead of going through a long bureaucratic process like a lot of other distributors, all you have to do is sign up for the service and upload your tracks.
TuneCore charges $9.99 when publishing an EP and $29.99 for an album. While it is more convenient, you might find yourself paying a bit more since the site charges per upload instead of having an annual fee. However, you can still earn money through the streams of your music, which is all yours.
2. Ditto
When it comes to music distribution, this company is at the top of the game. This is because they allow artists to keep 100% of the royalties from fans streaming their songs. There are many packages you can avail of when using Ditto as a means of getting your song on a streaming platform.
You can get packages designed for solo artists, bands, or even labels. All you have to do to sign up is make a Ditto account, choose the package of which you’ll avail, and pay the annual fee.
Once that is done, just upload your track or album to the website, wait for it to get approved, and once that’s done you’ll have your music on all the major streaming services including Triller.
3. RouteNote
RouteNote is a great place to distribute your music. By using this platform you distribute to all 7 Digital stores that include Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Triller, and more. It’s a fairly new service that offers a whole lot for a variety of artists.
If you just want to try things out, you can try their free program which allows you to upload a track for free and receive 85% of the royalties. However, if you pay an annual fee, you will be allowed to release as much as you want.
The annual fee is a bit less than some other labels, but there is a fee you need to pay per track, album, or EP. That being said, since it’s partnered with 7Digital, you’ll be able to see your music all over the internet by using this service.
Preparing Your Music To Be Published On Triller
Before you publish music on any streaming site, the song or album has to be complete. Another thing to think of before putting it on Triller is having a song or a collection of songs that people would like to use in their videos.
So make sure the song is mixed and mastered well and can be used to make fun and interesting music videos.
