If so, you need to find a way to stand out from other musicians on the platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">The following figures alone demonstrate just how competitive Spotify is:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li4\">More than 182 million paid subscribers worldwide<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\">Available in 79 countries and growing<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\">Over 50 million tracks available to stream<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\">An astonishing 3 billion\u00a0Playlists\u00a0are available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p4\">By a clear mile, Spotify is\u00a0<i>the\u00a0<\/i>platform for up-and-coming\u00a0artists. If you\u2019re serious about breaking into the music biz, you need a credible Spotify presence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">This is where the numbers can make all the difference. The number of streams you stack up speaks volumes for your credibility and appeal. You need all the streams you can get, but what\u2019s the best way to gain streams as quickly as possible?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">10 Great Ways to Get More Streams on Spotify<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Each of the following is a tried, tested, and trusted method to get more streams for your Spotify tracks:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">1. Create &amp; Manage Your Own Playlists<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">First up, creating your own Spotify Playlists can give your performance a major boost. It\u2019s a great way to\u00a0share\u00a0your music with more people and can\u00a0increase\u00a0your stream count in no time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">There are three options available here:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li4\">Create Playlists featuring nothing but your own music<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\">Create Playlists featuring your tracks and those from other artists<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\">Create 50\/50 split Playlists in collaboration with another artist<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p4\">Playlists increase the likelihood of people finding your music in the first place and can ensure they stick around to listen to more of your tracks when they do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">2. Submit Your Tracks to Playlist Curators<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">It also makes sense to\u00a0pitch\u00a0your\u00a0songs\u00a0to independent\u00a0playlists\u00a0on a regular basis. The more Playlists your tracks are featured in, the more exposure you benefit from. Plus, it\u2019s easier to\u00a0gain\u00a0exposure via independent Playlists than with Spotify\u2019s own editorial list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Platforms like SubmitHub, Musosoup &amp; Soundplate<b>\u00a0<\/b>can be great for finding curators to pitch your music to.\u00a0Or you could simply do the legwork and find viable curators yourself and introduce them to your work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">3. Make a Music Video on Spotify<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Did video kill the radio star? Not quite, but the popularity of video content on Spotify is explosive. Shooting and publishing a video can therefore be a great way to promote your work and your artist profile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Better yet, why not shoot\u00a0multiple\u00a0videos? An official music video for one of your tracks, a behind-the-scenes look at what you do, a\u00a0live video\u00a0from a recent performance, an acoustic or unplugged video \u2013 the options are endless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Video content adds an entirely new dynamic to your output and can be worth its weight in gold. Show them who you are, and let your personality shine in the videos you publish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">4. Upload &amp; Release Music Consistently<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Sticking like glue to a planned publishing\u00a0schedule\u00a0isn\u2019t essential on Spotify. But what\u00a0<i>does<\/i>\u00a0matter is putting out plenty of new music on a regular basis. The bigger the gaps between the tracks you release, the more likely your audience will lose interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">In addition, the Spotify algorithm shows a preference for artists who publish regularly. It\u2019s Spotify\u2019s job to introduce listeners to new music from artists they\u2019ll be interested in.\u00a0Hence, if you\u2019re not putting out anything new, they\u2019re unlikely to recommend you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">5. Build your Brand Identity<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Stacking up streams, listeners, and kudos, in general, is about more than just the music you put out. These days, brand identity plays an equally vital role. In practice, this means getting your\u00a0artist bio\u00a0in order and using every social channel at your disposal to build a credible\u00a0image.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">You also need to be an\u00a0active user\u00a0on Spotify, interacting and engaging with other artists on a constant basis. Publishers who sit silently on the sidelines are rarely attractive to Spotify\u2019s users.\u00a0By contrast, those who take the time to become an active part of the Spotify community always perform better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">6. Get a Verified Artist Profile on Spotify<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">\n<p class=\"p4\">It is absolutely essential to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediamister.com\/blog\/how-to-get-verified-on-spotify\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">verify your artist profile<\/span><\/a> if you\u2019re to be taken seriously on Spotify. The little\u00a0blue check mark\u00a0by your name can make a huge difference and is surprisingly easy to get.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">You simply need to do the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li4\"><b>Step 1<\/b>\u00a0&#8211; Claim your profile on Spotify for Artists.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><b>Step 2<\/b>\u00a0&#8211; Confirm your account.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><b>Step 3<\/b>\u00a0&#8211; Search for your artist profile.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><b>Step 4<\/b>\u00a0&#8211; Fill in a few questions about yourself.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><b>Step 5<\/b>\u00a0&#8211; Verify your profile submission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p4\">Best of all, there are no longer any specific eligibility requirements that need to be fulfilled. Anyone can verify their Spotify profile, just as long as they are who they say they are.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">7. Cross Promote Your Music on Social Media<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Each time you publish something on Spotify, promote it across your other social channels. Take every opportunity to spread the word and make a big deal about your latest releases. In the meantime, promote your best work and invite people to check you out on Spotify.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Post links to your most popular tracks, show them how to find your profile page, and stay as active as possible. Don\u2019t wait for them to find you and listen to your tracks \u2013 show them the way (and remind them regularly).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">8. Use Spotify Pre-Release Campaign<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">A Spotify pre-release campaign can be just the thing to generate hype. Instead of simply dropping tracks randomly and without notice, it\u2019s far better to create a stir ahead of time. Well-executed Spotify pre-release campaigns can make it much easier to get into the platform\u2019s most prestigious Playlists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Examples of which include \u2018New Music Friday\u2019 &amp; \u2018Discover Weekly\u2019 \u2013 both offering exposure on a viral level. Always ensure your\u00a0fans\u00a0and\u00a0followers\u00a0know what\u2019s coming and when. And while doing so, be sure to make a big deal of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">9. Use Spotify Ad studio<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Spotify Ad Studio is the platform\u2019s paid marketing engine, which enables artists to target listeners with pinpoint precision. It\u2019s easy to use and fairly affordable and can be great for promoting audio or video content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">All you need to do is submit your script, select a background song for the clip, and upload the cover art. Spotify will then produce your ad with a professionally recorded voiceover, with a maximum duration of 30 seconds.\u00a0Just as long as the costs are within your budget, paid Spotify Ads are worth considering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">10. Buy Spotify Streams<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">\n<p class=\"p4\">Last up, the quickest and easiest option is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediamister.com\/buy-spotify-plays\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">buy Spotify streams<\/span><\/a>. Social proof specialists like Media Mister offer 100% authentic Spotify plays and streams at surprisingly low prices. Buying plays can be great for boosting the credibility, appeal, and perceived value of your tracks.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be just the thing for influencing the Spotify algorithm and for convincing curators to add you to their Playlists.\u00a0Purchased plays are not the same as organic plays in terms of listenership but can still be fantastic for promotional purposes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Final Thoughts<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">There\u2019s no silver-bullet solution or overnight fix when looking to\u00a0get more streams on Spotify. Instead, it\u2019s a case of combining the activities above into a broad and multi-dimensional publishing campaign. Once again, you can\u2019t force people to listen to your music or to follow your profile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">But what you\u00a0can<i>\u00a0<\/i>do is give them a good reason to take you seriously. The more work you put into your music and your promotional strategy, the easier it becomes to stack up streams in viable numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking to get more streams on Spotify?
