All you need to know about Spotify
Many musicians know about Spotify from a user’s perspective, but it’s important to look at it from an artist’s perspective. They tend to stare at their streams, wondering why they won’t go up, while we should ask ourselves: did I target my song to the right audience. It’s wiser to aim for a niche and score 10 out of 10, instead of blindly focusing on the mainstream mass-consumer. Your release strategy is linked to the music itself and to your identity as an artist.

Are you releasing music on Spotify? These are the 3 basics:
– How to set up a decent Spotify profile
– How to get streams on Spotify
– How to get my tracks into playlists on Spotify
Spotify is the biggest music streaming platform today. Your social media has to be on point, but so does your Spotify account. On artists.spotify.com you’ll find all you need to know to set up a steady profile: upload your avatar, header, bio and add links to social media. You’ll get access into this portal once your first track is scheduled for release by either a label, by yourself or by a distributor. Check out their FAQ-section and educate yourself in advance of your release.
In order to generate streams on your tracks, you have to understand how Spotify works. Your listeners might visit your Spotify profile directly from your social media posts, but within Spotify itself, you can also get discovered by consumers who listen to artists who sound similar to you. Your song might get featured in a Spotify playlist with thousands of followers. You can make your own playlists too to get interaction with other artists and support each other. It’s good to have Spotify listeners, but don’t forget the value of a Spotify follower! Click here to find out why followers are so important on Spotify.
