this TAKES TIME. But its so worth it to have some decent passive revenue coming in every month. Build organically and build independently.
Am I gonna be old by the time this happens?
Hey BB there are tons of music distribution sites out there. Which ones do you trust and would recommend?
thank u big dawg
@@mice4890songtrust is good
Hey beautiful beats i have a question! If the biggest playlist you're on Spotify has 13.000 followers, how can you reach 500.000+ monthly listeners? Maybe some tiktok video boosted you?
Thank you for being straight about this. Like… “make good music, release it as often as you can, make content to promote it.” It IS that simple. People just don’t like hearing that it takes longer than a month lol. Might take a few years. But if you do exactly those things, you’ll absolutely grow.
It's the "promoting" thing that's hardest. What works, how much money you have etc etc
If you're reading this hope your music blows up this year. Wishing you luck
THANK YOU!!
i been sticking around since before you started making studio content, your path has been admirable & inspiring my guy. im 27 & been in garage bands & made beats since such a young age & i lost my path in my early 20s from toxic relationships & substance abuse & your consistency the last 3 years has really helped me regain focus. thank you brodie
❤👏🏼 Weldone
So happy i could help in any way! Keep moving forward and improving! Im so proud of your progress!
Woah crazy, could’ve been me who wrote that. Except for being 28 lol. I’ve gone through the exact same experience.
Great work man
That got deep quick lol - fair play great to hear stories like that
@@thesingingaccountant1 😂precciate you brodie
Dude is so organic and real
Love my friend
Lmao this is the most huckster bullshit I’ve seen in years
Congrats on so many listeners man! Very happy for you, well deserved :)
Thanks for listening
Finally a video that briefly and usefully summarizes everything about Spotify growth! Thanks a lot!
This genuinely makes sense. Thank you for sharing!
I pray we all can make it like this guy right here! Keep Grinding fam 🤘🏼🙏
I am an older type of musician. I learned how to record and produce a few years ago, got tired of going into the studio and trying to get bands together. I am not the best producer, but I did learn how to make some decent recordings of my songs, and I want to do some more of it. Inspriational video sir. Thanks.
of course! Thanks!
Totally agree with the band thing - so much hassle and cost
I really appreciated the honesty and simplicity. Also the sensible perspective at the end about what you're about now as a producer in terms of percentage vs selling beats.
Thank you for dropping so music game for us my bro, your work hasn’t gone unnoticed, any other gems you have about the music industry Please do more vids👏🏾
This is quite a helpful video, thank you. I saw on Instagram a while back that you were focusing on shorter songs and I have implemented that into my writing process. I have definitely been the writer over the years that’s like “this song has to be 5 minutes long”…without any real metric for why it needed to be that way, and often times has multiple sections repeated. A song doesn’t need to be any certain length; if it’s a minute long, cool - if it’s 5 minutes long, cool. As long as I can appropriately convey what I want to say musically, then it’s all good. But I am leaning toward shorter songs overall.
Thank you so much! This helped a ton..especially the part about having a catalog of songs
So happy I could help!
Been following you for some time now... Love the content you've been putting out - Started dabbling in EDM production these past few months, and your content has been super helpful. Appreciate you man! Thanks :D
Thank you. I can tell anyone who read this, I figured out for myself, that those people which did not dare to take a step by their own, didnt try to become independent, or quit it within first months, are those which try to mock you and stop you on the way to do it on your own, keeping consistent is so true, I will do that from now on, every week on friday one release at least, just do your thing and surround yourself with people that do the similar or dont care what you do, everything else could be toxic for your career/hobby. Stay true to yourself everybody! 💯
Facts! Preciate the game you dropping 🙏🏼
Loved this video. Love your energy and your passion for making music. To the point, clear, and no bullshit. Would love to collaborate with you or remix one of your tracks if our paths align to make it so.
Putting out a song every week is honestly insane. I don't think that's realistic for most artists at all. But if it works for you then go for it. I think it's a good idea to advise artists to net feel pressured to favor quantity over quality at the expense of favoring spotify's algorithim. At the end of the day, consistency is key but at what cost lol. Cuz every week is MENTAL
I put out a song every day...
dat is realistic 😂 how th u gonna make it if u dont drop every week if u think dats to much den music not for u
It's not about the frequency, its about consistency and building a catalog of music overtime. If you want, do it monthly. Point is that you should be sticking to it.
@@lancelancenese how many instruments do you play ? How long you've been singing and writting lyrics ? Do you understand that writing a song is not the same as making a beat ? There are millions of genres where you actually need to put a lot of affords compared to rippin off the same mumble shit from Soundcloud. "if you cant drop a song every week music is not for you": all mathrock/metal/country and bunch of other artists left the chat. Sir, looking at you I realize that arrogance is the plague of this decade. Hope you'll get well soon :)
i did it for a year. if you record yourself it’s not that crazy.
Thank you for this. I’ve been learning and making music since high school, and it seems like music is one thing but being the promoter and marketer is a whole other ball game that we’re all still trying to learn. Good tips brotha
IT is but you got this!
Totally agree with this
So nice to hear this, clear, straight to the point, only facts. Thanks for this.
Your suggestions are so on point man .. love it and love your content
Glad you like them!
the great thing is (talking about the end of your video) you're talking about consistently releasing a ton of music. the beautiful thing about that, is that you get to view your growth as an artist and as a creator. kind of like when you first start working out and you think you're alright but you suck at bench. then a year later you see how much weight you've put on the bar it blows your mind from where you started. :)
Some awesome tips here mate. Thanks for putting out the video!
Thank you for this video! So informative and inspiring. Motivates me a lot to be more intentional and consistent with my music. I've only been releasing covers on RUclips and overthink all my original songs. Then I end up never releasing any of it.
I really appreciate this video buddy. Funny enough, I already understood everything you stated in the video, I just needed it confirmed to me it seems. This video has motivated me to go all in on music again as its my true passion in life. Thanks man.
Awesome advice - thank you bro!
Wow, quite an underviewed video, with some good tips i haven't found elsewhere! Well done, and thank you very much!
Brilliant! Thanks so much for this ❤
This is the best game I’ve seen .. very well put! Trust this man and run it up. Good luck yall
It's exactly that.
Thanks for making a truly objective video on the topic.
There's no secret weapon, it's consistency + quality + obstination. Can't be different 💯
Thanks for the content bro, very nice. Personally, I think releasing a song a week is a bit much but I do understand the concept behind it. I think per month is more realistic as it gives you time to promote the song properly. I managed an artist in NZ and we got a number 1 song through a combination of things, including some of the things you mention in this video. However, I would say that there is no perfect marketing plan as it depends on so many external factors. My suggestion to anyone reading this is to try a variety of tactics and see which combination works for your music.
Thank you beautiful beats. Great motivation 🙏
SO happy to help!
Fantastic points made here. Very valuable guidance and practical insight 👍👍😊
Crazy growth! Hard working man right here
Thanks bro!
Damn. You honestly blew my mind when you said you release music every Friday.
For some reason I had this belief that all my music on Spotify has to be perfect and the "Release every week" approach is "wrong" or "amaetur"
Meanwhile, it's the approach I've always lived by. Commiting to doing the task (be it workout, meditation session, making content) - even if it's not that great at the moment. But consistently, over a long time period.
Thanks man. This was one of those a-ha moments for me.
Cheers :D
Glad I could help!
The music still has to be good though. Most doing this strategy just make mediocre music.
@@Josh-zr9by No doubt, but you also can't deny that most doing this strategy will end up improving their music in the process.
This weekly release approach gives you a goal to move towards. Something you look forward to achieving every week.
Helps you get rid of some of the perfectionism and forces you to FINISH your projects. Lol.
@@MyshkoMusic True, but it also raises the question. In one week, can a person make impactful music? Thoughtful music? Can it make the listener feel something, and delve into a niche sound? 99.9% of the time, no. In a week, they will be focused on churning out quantity over quality. I reckon once a month is a better strategy.
@@Josh-zr9by Yeah I guess releasing once a month would work better for many people. Maybe myself included even lol.
I often have periods where I can't come up with anything I like no matter how much I try. I usually have to take a break to regain inspiration. As Beautiful Beats said, don't force yourself to release if you feel the quality isn't there
But then again, the amount of time you spend on a project shouldn't be an indicator of how good it is. To this day, my favorite track I've ever released was one that I finished making in 2 days. And I have projects I've worked on for literal MONTHS just to end up HATING them.
That was such a honest video. Straight to the point. Actual good advice!
Thank you!
I literally LOVE you, you made this so much better and easier.
I see your monthly listeners have crossed 700,000, and your artist popularity index is at 50%, which is fantastic. Typically, artists with a popularity index of around 45% can make it onto editorial playlists. However, I noticed you haven't been featured on any Spotify editorial playlists. This is a bit puzzling, considering your talent and the quality of your music. You deserve that extra push more than many others. I am really curious as to why they havent put you on editorial!
I’ve actually heard mixed reviews about being on editorials. A lot of times editorials just get random passive listeners and not organic fans but idk. Also you may be on it for like a week and then off it after that and it hurts the performance of the song. I’m not too worried about it honestly.
Would rather see consistent growth
I completely understand your perspective, and if you tailor your pitch to your specific genre, editorial support can significantly enhance your "Fans Also Like" recommendations. This improvement arises from their access to better listening habit data, even if your save and follow rates may not be exceptionally high. It could be more about how artists are engaging with your music.
Streams from editorial are not important in your case; it's more about spotify editorial evaluating your track's performance and placing it on more prominent "Algotorial" and "personalized editorial playlists." This approach can lead to substantial growth in your Spotify followers, potentially reaching millions of monthly streams without having to rely on FB Ads too much since you would have an extremely high follower count [Typically 10% followers listen on release radar first 28 days so if you had 100,000 followers that would be a great advantage on every release day to get your song above 30% PPI quickly]. You've got all the elements in place to aim for editorial features and the potential to double your income. I'm genuinely puzzled as to why Spotify hasn't featured your music yet, given your high index, but I'm not implying any wrongdoing.
One possible factor to consider is the fan conversion rate, which can be a bit challenging, especially for producers. Have you been actively pitching your songs to the editorial team? If you specify the playlist you'd like to target in your pitch, I'm confident it can boost your chances of getting featured. I used to think that Facebook ads might not be the best data for Spotify editorial pitches, but I'm reconsidering that view, given the success I've witnessed. @@BeautifulBeats99
@@BeautifulBeats99 THIS. I’ve had three different songs end up on editorial playlists, and every time all it did was hurt the organic algorithmic performance for all the reasons you just wrote. Advice is great! So is your music!
Thank you SO MUCH for publishing this video!! I learned a lot
bro i’ve been following you for a while now and this is definitely one of the best pieces of content you’ve put out. straight to the point yet inspiring. thanks bro.
man so happy this video helped! Thank you!
Great thinking mate. I think this is an honest way to success.
Best video I’ve seen a while. Nothing but facts & real truth ❤
More of this pleasant vibe videos with tips and information like you would do it. I think this helps the most for us to understand how the algorithm of Spotify works!
Great video. Thanks for the tips homie
Excelent video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for your fantastic advice, loved it and subscribed to your channel. One comment though: the random video cuts/zooms from the same angle were so distracting for me I had to turn my monitor off. It worked fine as a podcast, so no big deal. But if you could somehow A/B test a few videos with some of them just one long shot only interrupting when you are using other footage, maybe you would find people still sticking around without all the cuts? Looking forward to more of your stuff!
Love this video! Very inspiring !
In the land of the algorithm, consistency is king
Yes!
I think some artists currently underestimate the value of a full album over a single. The cover art is like real estate.
One square image represents only one song, the other square image represents and brings new listeners to 10 - 20 songs.
Thank you so much! I’m trying to pursue putting out my music and other content and this really helped!
Damn, what a great video. I feel like I’ve watched countless hours in this niche now, and you actually said things I’ve never heard before. Very real, very helpful.
Thanks for the tips man, giving me lots to think about!
Yo man, thanks a bunch for these great tips! You’re actually the first person I hear saying that you should release every week, most guys say every six weeks. Those other guys are a lot older and make different music than you, but they usually have way less monthly listeners than you (except for one I know). Now I’m confused on what to haha 😅 Currently when I release music more frequently than every 6 weeks, I have trouble getting it above 1.000 streams without promotion. What would you suggest? I make techno music. Thanks in advance for your answer, stay awesome 🙌🏻
Do you post beats on Spotify or actual songs where you record your own vocals etc ? :)
Very helpful advice as usual BB
Independent growth hands down no more labels 🙌🏻 your music is better for it
Great advice. Appreciate the vid.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video I Subscribed! Definitely gave me some pointers!
big fan of these type of videos thanksss!!
Fabulous video man!
Solid gold, thank you!
thank you for the video really helpful 👍🏽
Happy to help!
New on your channel, this was very inspiring 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the motivation today sir
Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome
love your videos dude 🔥
thanks man for the tips ,i love the way you produce beats and songs . can you make in depth tutorial of how you make beats or course of your beats making process , i will love that.
I have quite a bit of those videos on my channel!
also check instagram!
Thanks for sharing man, I have a question if you have time. Should I release a whole album at once on spotify or it's good to put out singles every week or more often? I write 2-3 songs a week so i was thinking i shouldn't spam spotify with song drops but now i'm wondering if i should just release them as i finish them.
Thanks for all the great info for us newer artists. peace Samuel
he said in the video he would probably never put out an album and he does just singles cuz it’s better for growth. i’ve heard other people say this too. wait to drop an album if you really want to drop one when you have a fan base. singles till then
That is the best thing I could have wanted to hear: Don't try to get into curated playlists. I now realize that it makes no sense.
Thank You a lot for your genuine information, greatly appreciated.
You know this videos authentic cuz it's not an overnight process😂😂❤❤ thanks bro ✌️✌️✌️
This is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I would love to see some more details about how you used social media advertising to generate streams.
really needed this video
Inspiratonal bro❤
Thanks for the content brother. Can I ask a question a bit off topic? What camera are you using to shoot your yt vids?
Great tips. Thank you ✌️
ay btw bro we used to chop it up like 2017/18, i lost track of you for while & i was so stoked to see you pop up on my RUclips doin good, gettin views, & you've achieved the ever elusive state of **successful at music AND takes care of self** lol
Love my friend!
Thanks so much for this! I've been putting a song every week this year since February, I'd love a course on the marketing!
Well, I learned something for sure. I released some EDM songs and they had a few plays, but I got busy with life work and forgot to release more on Spotify. Now I have 40+ songs to release now and inadvertently picked Friday to release, didn't know "It was a good day",I also make good Jazz fusion music as well and was thinking about releasing it as well, but it sounds like that might be counter productive. Thank you for the advice.
This REAL advice bro thanks
I appreciate it!!
Bro this is what I needed to hear. Ur genuine and real. No gimmick . This i will follow till I die . Respect I will now listen to all 6oyr shit and support . Thanks for helping us
Love bro! Happy to help!
You’re right. It happened to me and I’m getting better from time to time.
Great tips bro 🙏 gonna give the instagram ads a try for my next song
you gor this!
Dope video. How does an artist get to work with you?
thanks for this video! Good thoughts on this. Been spending YEARS learning all this. Good help is hard to find in this industry too! Cheers!
Very informative you earned a new sub
Great video! Would it make sense to just do shorter songs, if one does really well, work more on it and do a more standard length song? Almost like each short release is audience "testing" ?
I personally wouldn’t do that to be honest. But that’s just me!
very very helpful 🙌🏽
Love this bro. 🙏🏻💥😎
Regardless i like your energy in your video. Very optimistic. Will subscribe now. Will keep following 👍🏻
Very inspiring! I love making content, but that time sink can take away from actual writing and recording music. Last year I released one song a week with an animated video, which was tough to say the least. But I'm at least feeling wanting to write more music now ❤
Some straightforward tips but extremely necessary! 🔥🔥
oh man thank god for your content
thank you 🙏🏻
Great overview of how it actually works !
This is great advice, i am putting this in action starting February.
Thank you
Great video dude
Quite insightful. Thank you ❤
Thanks for the genuine advice!
