Enter RhythmX: Your Gateway to Social Media Music Distribution
RhythmX is a music distribution service that helps independent artists get their music onto all major

Visit the RhythmX website (Www.rhythmxdistro.com) and create your artist account. You’ll need to
provide:

Step 2: Prepare Your Music Files
Before uploading, make sure you have:
High-quality audio files: WAV or FLAC format is ideal (minimum 16-bit, 44.1kHz)
Album artwork: 3000×3000 pixels minimum, RGB color mode, JPG or PNG format
Metadata: Song title, artist name, composer credits, genre, release date

Log into your RhythmX dashboard and start a new release:
1. Choose your release type (single, EP, or album)
1. Upload your audio files
1. Add your album artwork
1. Fill in all metadata fields accurately
Step 4: Select Your Distribution Platforms
This is the crucial step. In your RhythmX dashboard, you’ll see options for where to distribute your
music. Make sure to select:

Instagram/Facebook: These platforms share the same music library, so selecting this option covers both
Reels and Facebook videos

Step 6: Review and Submit
Double-check all your information, then submit your release. RhythmX will review your submission and
begin the distribution process.
Maximizing Your Music’s Social Media Potential
Getting your music on these platforms is just the beginning. Here’s how to maximize its impact:
Create Your Own Content
Don’t wait for others to discover your track. Create your own TikToks, Reels, and Facebook videos using
your music. This helps the algorithm recognize your track and can inspire others to use it.
Use Hashtags Strategically
When you post using your own music, include relevant hashtags like #NewMusic, #IndependentArtist, or
genre-specific tags. This increases discoverability.
Engage with Creators
If someone uses your music in their content, engage with them! Comment, share, and build
relationships. This encourages more usage and creates a community around your music.
Time Your Release
Consider releasing your music when TikTok and Instagram usage peaks (typically evenings and
weekends). This increases the chance of early engagement.
Create a Hook-First Strategy
Social media users have short attention spans. Make sure the catchiest part of your song is within the
first 15 seconds—this is what creators will typically use.
Tracking Your Music’s Performance
RhythmX provides analytics showing:
– Number of video creations using your music
– Geographic breakdown of where your music is being used
– Revenue generated from social media platforms
– Streaming data across all platforms
Use this data to understand what’s working and adjust your strategy accordingly.
Common Issues and How to Solve Them
“I can’t find my music on TikTok”
If your music has been live for more than a week and still isn’t appearing:
1. Search using the exact song title and artist name
1. Check your RhythmX dashboard to confirm the distribution was successful
1. Contact RhythmX support, they can investigate platform-specific issues
“My song is on TikTok but not Instagram”
Sometimes there’s a delay between platforms. Instagram and Facebook typically take the same amount
of time, but occasionally one may process faster than the other. Give it a few extra days.
“Someone is using my music without permission”
If your music is in the platform’s library (which it is when you distribute through RhythmX), creators are
allowed to use it. This is a good thing. It means exposure and revenue for you.
RhythmX Pricing and Plans
RhythmX typically offers several distribution plans:
– Annual subscription: Unlimited releases for a yearly fee
– Free tier: Some basic distribution with revenue sharing
Check RhythmX’s current pricing on our website, as plans may vary and promotions are common for
