Instagram Music Distribution Explained
Can I get my music on Instagram?
Yes! Anyone can upload songs to Instagram's official audio library when they distribute music through Ditto. When you’re submitting your songs for upload, make sure you’ve read our audio guidelines and artwork rules so you’re sure it meets Instagram’s audio eligibility specifications.
How long does it take to upload songs to Instagram?
It usually takes around 5-7 days for your tracks to be processed by our team, accepted by Instagram and made readily available on the platform's music library.
How much money will I make from Instagram?
Like WhatsApp, Instagram is also owned and operated by Facebook, which means your music will be monetised every time it is used across any type of Facebook content. It’s hard to say exactly how much money you will make, as the exact amount will depend on how many times your song is searched and selected by other users to feature in their own content.
When will I get paid by Instagram?
We’ll pay 100% of your Instagram royalties directly into your Ditto account as soon as we receive them. There’s usually a delay of around two months for the first payments to arrive after a track has been released.
How do I get more exposure for my music on Instagram?
Getting your music picked up and featured by an Instagram influencer has the potential to get it discovered by a huge online following of loyal fans. Search for influencers on the app who align with your brand, reach out and build a connection. In the meantime, continue your Instagram and social media marketing efforts to get discovered by other users on the app. Don’t forget to check out our Unsigned Advice blog and subscribe to our mailing list for the latest music industry advice.
