9. The "Opportunity Cost" of Not Being Everywhere

Part 6 • DistroKid "Store Maximizer" Fee

The "opportunity cost" of not being on an emerging platform can be significant. If a new platform gains massive traction, and your music isn't there, you are missing out on potential listeners, streams, and revenue. While it's impossible to predict which new store will be the "next big thing," the "Store Maximizer" offers an affordable way to hedge your bets and ensure your music is always in contention for new discovery channels.
