Bro.... I literally paid to distrokid to open another account to send my music over to my channel before I found this video.... oh well 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you bro! Now I'm connected 🫡🫡🫡 God bless you bro! 🙌🙏✝️👑✝️🙏🙌
It says that I have to upload music first but I already have videos on my personal RUclips channel… is it because I have yet to upload music through distrokid or ?
Sorry, RUclips is unable to process Official Artist Channel requests at this time. As soon as they're ready to process them again you can do that here. Please check back shortly. WHAT SHOULD I DO HELP ME 2 MONTH AGO STILL
Hi, so for some reason Distrokid doesn't have my band in the select option other than myself, even though my band already has a single out, so I can't register my band as an artist channel. Any way to fix that?
So once you have absorbed the Topic Channel auto-generated videos into your own now-upgraded Official Artist Channel, can you finally edit the videos that come from the Topic Channel? Can you control if they run ads and who collects revenue?
So I linked my distrokid with my youtube channel, but I still don't have access to my music. Distrokid gives me that same message "you're already connected, right on!" Where do I go from here? Or what seems to be the issue? thanks!
So once l link it, can people search for my song easily, cause as right now. People when they search the name of my song. The only thing appears is the youtube Topic channel uploaded by distrokid
how do you fix this error " Channel Name does not match your Artist Name Please link a RUclips Channel that is associated with this artist name" the names match i just do not know what is the problem
Hey Zig! Setting up for my first release. If I already have a RUclips but not 3 releases do I check the box in Distrokid that says I do not have a artist channel (yet)? (Then add it later?)
Select artist link is broken >> . Or maybe it doesn't appear for me because I just released one album o.O? Idk having to have released 3 albums to access that feature sounds a bit lame. It doesn't say anything about that when signing up.
hi , i have tried to do exactly the same but this message pops up: "Channel Name does not match your Artist Name, Please link a RUclips Channel that is associated with this artist name". and my artist name and my current youtube channel name are exactly the same! i don't know why it won't let me. any suggestions?

Hey brother, thanks for the tips! I did my music through tunecore(yeah it made the silly singles videos for my channel as well as a topic channel) Not a huge deal, but do you know how long it takes for them to merge the 2 pages? Thanks!! I have the cool kid symbol
had to change my name because RUclips doesn't allow special characters, just a heads up if you have special characters in your name on distrokid you have to change your name on RUclips before being able to have an official artist account.
I did this but all that pops up is “To get started, upload some music to RUclips.”, don't i technically have music uploaded on RUclips already under the topic channel? I also have uploads on my original RUclips account, I don't know what to do can somebody please help
@@ZigZagProductionStudioThat’s not possible unless they are linked together by the OAC manual connection, but this guy is saying the “Select Artist” option is not showing up for him.
In my case, instead of select artist it shows "to get started, upload some music to RUclips" but I already have a song posted and it's on the topic channel
I noticed my music has a stand-alone page on "RUclips Music". But then I have cheesy videos of my last two albums on a dedicated RUclips channel. I just made this connection through DistroKid. Do you know if this is going to take that "RUclips Music" page and add it to my old dedicated page?
@zigzagProductionStudio I have been trying to claim my DJ Simply Nice artist channel with Distrokid and this is what has been coming up for 3 weeks, "Sorry, RUclips is unable to process Official Artist Channel requests at this time. As soon as they're ready to process them again you can do that here. Please check back shortly." Is there another way I can do it?
Hey bro, If I already have a topic channel and make money off of that instead of my regular youtube channel (because my region doesn't have youtube red/premium) and after the topic channel merges with my youtube channel, will I still be making money and getting payouts via distrokid or will the videos become unmonetizable?
Hello can you help me? I did exactly what you did but it says:Sorry, RUclips is unable to process Official Artist Channel requests at this time. As soon as they're ready to process them again you can do that here. Please check back shortly.
Hi, thanks for this video. I merged my distrokid account with my youtube account, but I couldn't find my youtube music page when I uploaded my album, so I checked the box that said that the artist didn't have an official youtube music page. can you tell me if I'll still be able to get the music on my channel?
Is it possible to change the youtube artist channel, i mean, to connect distrokid to an another youtube channel that is made just for music, and not to our old one if we want to change and use a different channel with a different mail created specifically for music ?
do you have to upload 3 tracks to the youtube channel *before* doing this process? distrokid automatically uploaded my previous releases to a topic channel
No. You need to have at least 3 tracks released with DistroKid. Once you have the third one release then you'll see that drill-down option and then you link your RUclips channel with DistroKid and then you check your RUclips channel and right close to your RUclips channel name you'll see a icon and if you put your cursor on it it will say "Verified Artist Channel". Apart from that, of course, your RUclips Channel must have some videos available otherwise it does not make sense to verify an RUclips Channel without any content on it. Cheers & Best Regards.
Hi, when it comes to RUclips official artist channel, Distrokid doesn't show me the "Select artist" menu below the "learn about youtube official artist channels". I already released a single with distrokid and I already have a RUclips channel where I have some content too. Why doesn't Distrokid show me that?
well this is happening to everyone and yess i reported to distrokid as well even though i got no reply yet but saw one person maybe he got they said they are working on it and it will be fixed soon...dk when though but it will......
Sorry, it looks like you've already created an OAC Channel for all artist slots on your DistroKid account. To add additional artist slots, upgrade your plan. what that means pls help
What is if the coocking channel you have for example get for any reason 3 copy rigth strikes and get closed ?? get to closed the artist channel too because its linked on my google acount ??

I claimed or sent a request and put my actual channel which I made myself and not the artist channel that they uploaded my song on which had Topic after the name have I done the wrong thing was I meant to try and to that channel or have I done the right thing that I made a request to claim my actual channel meaning from now on it will post my music on there maybe? Please I am worried I did it wrong and I don't know what to do.
Good video , but my topic channel , on distrokid , ALREADY says its already merged into my account , its just i cant find it , and on top of that its a topic channel that i cant even login too
I just claimed my OAC. Can i use it to upload my tutorials? I also make short animations but i didnt want to make another channel so do you think i can also use it to post some of my animation clips?
So yesterday I noticed my topic channel is not there for whatever reason and I just submitted for my channel to be verified! When they do it, will it have the subscribers my topic channel had???? Anyone know????

So I need three songs up first. Thanks for the info.
No problem! And thanks so much for the super thanks, you're the first person on any of my channels to ever do that
Also, update since this video was uploaded - now you can just have one song uploaded, you don't need 3 releases any more. One release is okay
