I put these practices to work for myself. Visit my own personal Spotify profile to view my real-time progress, I only started releasing music in 2020: open.spotify.com/artist/2YNJbuJ0CZvGdJWXVQEUdc?si=hPIocfKgTdCYFGM_KuvR7g Oh and stream my songs if you want to support. Very thankful for you guys, let me know what you think of my songs! 🙌🙌🙌
Man, it really gets you thinking, these overnight popstars probably weren't overnight eh? They had a lot of work and planning going into their craft beforehand and they just had to wait for the right time
1:28 I paused too check the comments. Notice how he brags about the "100k listeners". But! It says "April 4th | 7 listeners".... So, how exactly does an audience grow if it's dropping to near nothing a few months later?
Love this bro, it’s all a game of chess, we all have the same pieces (most of us) just some people make the right moves at the right time and now how to set it up
What people should be doing is creating a community arround your music. Make local playlists, example name it ''boston hip hop'', adding only rappers from boston. That way you'll be able to connect with fans in real life, create buzz where you live selling merchandise and connect with other musicians from your area and get that nice solid music local culture actually helping everyone.
That's a problem if a team at Spotify is deciding certain users get priority over others, essentially selecting the "tastemakers." I say this b/c it's often a very limited & not very diverse group of people...... I can see a lot of music getting pushed aside.
There are MANY ways to grow your fanbase-this is just one of them! How important is growing your Spotify following compared to Instagram? Let me know below which is more important to you?
I don't know about the blogs thing cause I have a couple of very close friends that NEVER released a song before and Spotify has put them on very big playlists and that boosted them crazy. But the songs were very unique so yeah, I'm not sure how it happened.
listen to this guy, He is legit. And he does answer all your questions. I had many questions answered via email by him. He answers quick and stays true to his word. TRUST HIM!!!
1:28 I paused too check the comments. Notice how he brags about the "100k listeners". But! It says "April 4th | 7 listeners".... So, how exactly does an audience grow if it's dropping to near nothing a few months later? Good advice, but it's just copy/paste advice from Adam Ivy to try and market us something else. You do not have my trust
If you only post one song, that's what the results will look like. I posted a song on NCS, it just hit 1 million plays on spotify, however my monthly listeners has steadily declined greatly since I haven't posted since then (7 months maybe). Itll fluctuate but I'm sure if we just keep posting tunes at a much more consistent rate than I have that more people will continue to listen and come back to all of your previous tunes along side your new releases.
I'd like to add as well, a lot of people have a hard time approaching blogs because they're overambitious, don't have cross support for the release or go to wide. Radio and content creators are desperate for quality content, if your release is genuinely good, someone wants to promote it. But if you're releasing your first ever hip hop single, don't approach guitar player magazine. Find local blogs, regional music critics with active followings, offer them an exchange, say you'll let them release your material (that suits their platform and demographic) exclusively and that as you promote the single across platform for the first day/week you'll share their release article so they get click through the more successful your release. The other thing is cross support. When I was living and working with musicians in Ireland the number one thing that music media loved was that you were Irish (especially if you had roots in traditional irish or folk music) and were ACTIVE on the irish music scene! Easily done right! When you're approaching blogs, have a release venue/plan so that when they are saying you've got this new single out they can also advertise a hot new gig in town in a popular venue. This is harder with Covid, but in Ireland it was a surefire way to tick the boxes with blogs and irish radio on some level. You might think, why would they want to advertise your gig? But if you have planned a good locsl gig, with known local support acts, a few early ticket sales (20 tickets presold for 100capacity venue is a GOOD number! Even if you know it's just your mates) and bit of simple marketing (poster, facebook event, a link to the venue's event callender) it actually makes them look good because they're the blog/radio station with their finger right on the pulse!
Those overnight popstars haven't done their thing overnight, that's quite obvious. There have bin often even several years of hard work and practice. The song-making process usually proceeds in such a way that the song is worked on little by little over time, and the truth is also that the makers of the hit songs also make a lot of really bad songs that are just never ever released. But when you do your thing carefully and properly finished and just know how to do the right moves at the right time and you got lille bit of luck, you of course may become a big name in the business really fast.
i'm getting into artist management and have been watching videos and listening to podcasts about this topic for weeks now. this was easily one of the best. thank you.
It’s all a hogwash crapshoot, I’ve been getting 6000+ listeners consistently for months, with 500 fans, while other artists in my genre on editorial playlists frequently have 2 or 3 single releases with under 200 fans. It’s totally rigged. All for .003 cents per stream. The pre-release pitch is a joke too. Good luck out there! 🚀🎵🍕
Okay so I have like a lot of blogs written about my new song and have been trying to do the facebook ads and still only have like 1k streams... I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
Thanks bro. Information you provided in extremely important. I'm from india and I'm an English language rapper. I'm ready with my song but one thing has actually embroiled me in so much confusion. How can I send my song to blogs before my song is uploaded to spotify by cdbaby?
Hi, really liking this video and have subscribed! Thanks - could you advise me on where to host articles about the band and our songs if we don't have a website? We have a Facebook page, Soundcloud & Instagram but would you suggest a blog page? Thanks again! Jack - The Celadors
Totally. There is so much more to do that makes up a complete promotion strategy. Make sure you check out this video series: ruclips.net/p/PLzGFykrRLI3Ge1JgANUvQJ6yQuDCiIJmG
Hey , thanks for the content. Can I claim my Spotify artist profile if my debut song is just uploaded but not released? In order to reach the playlists..
Am I missing something here? Not entirely certain that showing the screenshot at 1:25 is doing this point any favours. What good does this kind of release strategy do to a musician's career if it apparently doesn't manage to keep the engagement over time or apparently cannot be used again for newer releases as checked on Artur Nelson's profile in a similar way? (He's got nice music regardless, actually enjoying it right now.) Doesn't really seem like this is useful advice for anyone but those 100% new artists without any knowledge about anything regarding Spotify's algorythm.
That's a very insightful observation. The answer has to do with the nature of playlist listeners, they are notoriously unengaged (which is why I try to convince artists to build an email list of fans and not to rely on Spotify to store their entire fanbase). The peaks on the chart are when we ran big promos and drove traffic to his music, when the promo ends & the traffic is turned off, the majority of the streams died back down. It's just a testimony to how hard it is to get constant streams, sales, and fans if you're not constantly promoting!
@@IndieMusicAcademy I see. That makes sense and does indeed give email lists a higher priority. Definitely will keep that in mind since I'm fairly new to this industry (publically at least) so have been trying my best to research as much as possible.
Yeah I haven't released any music since before the pandemic. Gotta put out more releases to bump my Spotify back up. Thankfully my email list is solid and I've been making tons of sales every month so it's a testimony to taking care of your core fans first 👍
Thankyou! I’m trying to build up my fans! I went from 10 fans to 27 which was a lot for me as only releasing my music a couple days ago! I’m trying to grow my streams / fans now
This was really helpful 👏 Thank you! My issue with Spotify is in registered and got a few tracks on there but I'm stuck with how to get it on ideal playlist! I'm sure its a paid service which I'm ready for.
Hey there!! Quick question. I’m in the recording stage of my music and I still don’t have any music out there yet. So if we are talking about my first SINGLE, is it wise to contact blogs/independent Spotify playlist curators/vloggers & influencers BEFORE or AFTER my FIRST release?
Great question. Before contacting anyone, I would do a grassroots campaign to build up some social proof that your music is being well-received by your fanbase (no matter how big or small). Then you'll be able to build a better case for yourself when pitching to blogs and influencers.
Thanks!! I'm working on the promotion for my first EP (i'm still recording it, but I'm already looking for info about releasing strategies, how should I proceed... because it's my first EP, I don't have already a established fan-base but, trying to make things the best I can from the beginning should give me a base for the next releases!)... This video helped a lot, putting into perspective how can I work outside Spotify to feed it.
Hey man, what I tell artists to do in your situation is to get a MailChimp account and try to get 100 friends, family members, classmates, neighbors, ANYONE, on you email list. You'll have to do this manually. Text them, go door to door, whatever you have to do and PRACTICE communicating and sharing your story in a mass-communication setting. Then you'll have a little fan army to do whatever you need them to do for you :)
@@IndieMusicAcademy nice.. I started telling people individually about it... creating something expectations about it... But I think this mailing solution is something strange in Brazil. People don't use e-mail like a regular communication tool.. it's something more cooperative or specific (I.e. I buy a flight ticket and get on the e-mail the boarding pass). Instant messaging apps and social media are more common communication tools... I think I can work out something like that on WhatsApp. Thanks for the tip!!
@@IndieMusicAcademyAHH I have a question. I'll release the EP and I'm planning to release a vídeo for each song (It'll be a short film, made with local filmmakers, and divided in 4 sections, one for each song). I was thinking about releasing the album on streaming platforms and at the same time a lyric vídeo of one of the songs (to promote the release), and then, on a weekly (or bi-weekly) basis I'll release the 4 vídeos. (so I'll keep posting things for a month or two after the release). BUT someone asked me: Why not releasing the vídeos before the EP, to build up the momentum for it. It makes sense.. but At the time of the EP full release, people would have already listened the songs. Releasing later, people would have somewhere to go after the vídeo is over. If I release the vídeos later, I can direct people to listen to the álbum, to my spotify, youtube or instagram pages. Which one of those do you think is the best way to go? And You'd prefer to release the vídeos weekly or bi-weekly?
Don't believe the hype. Look up the Artists he spoke about on Spotify and you'll see their Monthly Listeners are dramatically lower now. Daniel Jay Woods only has about 300, so this "strategy" might get you a few plays but it is very short term.
It’s all about maintaining a consistent release schedule because if you drop 1 song and it gets 500,000 views for example, and you wait 4/5 months to drop another song your listeners will drop due to the inactivity. I think this method and a lot of his methods will work depending on how you execute.
so artists don't need labels anymore, but they do need Spotify editors. What's the difference? At least labels used to spend money to promote their artists, their records, their tours, their live events.
I'm a Records label ownner like di I. and also an Recording Artist, I would like all info possible about the music business mostly now about marketing my songs online THANK YOU
wait how do i have a website ? can u do a video on why websites are important and i was interested in making an epk for myself . do i need a website to put it on ?
Thx for the info.....really digging more into the business with my band so, it's been really helpful. Question: Does this plan apply for any genre? I mean we play Metal ( A bit commercial ) but Still...any piece of advice on it? Thx a lot
Do you recommend playlist push and playlist fever to get on the playlist? I did and my numbers jumped up from like 8 monthly to 6000. It took about a month 1/2.

I'm not sure what your exact question is. Do you want to schedule some time with me where I can help you out?
Could say The mames this blogs Spotify see ?
High quality content
Thanks for the kind words!
so artists don't need labels anymore, but they do need Spotify editors.
What's the difference?
At least labels used to spend money to promote their artists, their records, their tours, their live events.
very useful! Thanks!

Thanks man. I spent so many years trying to get a write up and more or less getting nowhere. That is for the tips
You're very welcome my man!
It showed me people were listing and the next day it said I had zero streams does anybody know why that might be
I know that Spotify has been cracking down on non-legitimate types of streams. Perhaps they found your streams to be not "normal" for some reason.
I found out where I’m at I experience an extra day delay from when it shows up in my streams
Click bate at it’s finest
Thx for the info.....really digging more into the business with my band so, it's been really helpful. Question: Does this plan apply for any genre? I mean we play Metal ( A bit commercial ) but Still...any piece of advice on it? Thx a lot

Ryan how do you know which playlist to get on that actually help? Also, did you pay to get playlisted?

Cintron, Glad to see you reaching out to people! We spoke briefly on Instagram about a week ago. Keep it up‼️
Do you recommend playlist push and playlist fever to get on the playlist?
I did and my numbers jumped up from like 8 monthly to 6000. It took about a month 1/2.
Search "Gonzo Banging" and i got on there and got 130,000 and the song was trash
Yup. It's all about the marketing.
