Many independent artists are frustrated, because Meta (Facebook and Instagram) doesn’t automatically pull your music from any of the streaming platforms. This could be a fun way to have your fans also share your music in their stories. Once your music has been distributed, anyone can access your music to share on Instagram. Tunecore & Distrokid have joined in a special partnership with Facebook to making getting your music onto Stories easier than ever! Read more about that here. This is the only way to get included in the library upon release. When you are uploading your release for distribution, make sure that you have selected Facebook & Instagram as a store to release to. Instagram has their own in-app Music Library. Adding your actual music strengthens your brand and connects your fans and followers to what you sound like which is a crucial element for connecting the dots and capturing new fans.
This means you should be posting on Stories regularly (we suggest at least five times a day) and Reels once per week (or more if you are capable!). Stories and Reels now account for the majority of content being consumed on Instagram.
