After user submission, it takes 1 to 3 days for a release to appear on Amazon Music, from the moment it has been approved by our support team. All releases must go through a review and approval process to ensure they meet Amazon Music’s requirements. Expedited review is available with our Distribution Pro plan.

Amazon Music does not allow you to submit your tracks directly to its playlist reviewers. However, you can submit your tracks to any independent playlists hosted on the platform. If you want your tracks to be considered for an official Amazon Music playlist, you’ll likely need to work with a PR agent who has connections with Amazon Music’s playlist curators.

While Amazon is known for its e-commerce retail market, Amazon Music will not give you access to selling hard goods like CDs, vinyl or other merch through its e-commerce platform.

However, you can sell concert tickets and some forms of merchandise on your artist page once you claim your Amazon for Artists profile.

It takes about 90 days after your release goes live on Amazon Music for LANDR to collect royalties and send the first payout to you.

When you have an upcoming release you can create promotional campaigns by adding your release to a LANDR promolink, which you can find in the promotion section of your LANDR Distribution account.

 Artists earn money whenever their music is streamed on Amazon Music based on its royalty payout system. There are many factors that determine exactly how much money is paid. In general, payouts are made per stream and are paid based on various pools of money available to various groups of artists on the platform. 

That’s why it’s not possible to determine exactly how much is paid per stream since the revenue share between artists and pool size is subject to change.

Creators can also earn money by posting merch for sale directly on their artist page and selling concert tickets that also show up on their artist page.

You need a certain number of monthly listeners to access these features and your concert tickets will only show if they're listed on a major concert ticket retailer’s website.

There are a number of benefits to publishing music on Amazon Music. First and foremost is the opportunity to be paid when listeners play your track on a per-stream basis. However, the platform also serves as an important music marketing channel that can broadcast your music to wider audiences through its curated playlists and algorithmic suggestions.
