Release Music with No Upfront Subscription: A Checklist
Illustration: WBBT Records.
A no-upfront-cost plan can be a practical starting point when you understand its commission and limits. It is not the same as every service being unlimited or free forever.
Put it into practice
Prepare accurate masters, artwork and rights information. Review WBBT's Free plan and compare the cost of commission with a paid plan as your catalogue earns revenue.
Put the decision into a release plan
Keep one catalogue record with artist names, versions, identifiers, rights and the intended release dates. Check the options available in your account before announcing destinations. Allow time to correct a rejected asset, and verify store links after delivery. For WBBT White-Label or Distributor API early access, ask sales for a tailored scope and quote rather than assuming fixed limits.
Your next step
Prepare accurate masters, artwork and rights information. Keep a short record of the decision and revisit it after your next completed project.
