Looking to get more streams on Spotify? If so, you need to find a way to stand out from other musicians on the platform.<\/p>\n
The following figures alone demonstrate just how competitive Spotify is:<\/p>\n
By a clear mile, Spotify is\u00a0the\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
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
10 Great Ways to Get More Streams on Spotify<\/p>\n
Each of the following is a tried, tested, and trusted method to get more streams for your Spotify tracks:<\/p>\n
1. Create & Manage Your Own Playlists<\/p>\n
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
There are three options available here:<\/p>\n
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
2. Submit Your Tracks to Playlist Curators<\/p>\n
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
Platforms like SubmitHub, Musosoup & Soundplate\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
3. Make a Music Video on Spotify<\/p>\n
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
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
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
4. Upload & Release Music Consistently<\/p>\n
Sticking like glue to a planned publishing\u00a0schedule\u00a0isn\u2019t essential on Spotify. But what\u00a0does<\/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
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
5. Build your Brand Identity<\/p>\n
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
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
