We live in a digital world where we have access to the almighty internet 24*7. It is infused with our daily lives and almost each one of us uses social media platforms to consume content throughout the day. Music has always been a crucial part of our lives and the most popular art form in the world. You cannot find one single person who does not listen to music or does not find it therapeutic. With access to the internet, music streaming platforms also have been gaining immense popularity over the years. One of those popular online music streaming platforms is Spotify.
Spotify owns ⅓ of the market share and has over 188 million subscribers who spend an adequate amount of their time on the application, listening to music and podcasts. Taking advantage of that, almost every big or small artist has an account on the streaming service and gains fame, and popularity and earns from its playlisting. If you are also an aspiring artist, full of talent, and waiting to get that digital fame for yourself you should consider adding your tracks to Spotify playlists.
Keep on reading to know the top 5 reasons why you should add tracks to Spotify playlist:
- Increase the revenue: This music interface is an innovative approach to the music streaming world. Listeners can use this application to listen to their favorite artists and their music for free and if they get a premium subscription they will get to listen to the music advertisement-free. However, this is particularly useful for the artists as besides bringing in more visibility, playlisting tracks will allow them to earn. Especially budding and aspiring artists can take advantage of it as they will get to earn by uploading their music on the platform. Spotify pays per track, so the more your music will be played you will earn as the money will be counted per stream.
- Extend your reach: The reach of a new artist is limited. For an up-and-coming artist, it is not possible to get the desired amount of listens to their tracks as not many people know about the artist. In this situation, if you add a track to the Spotify playlist the chances of your track getting more streams, and your reach being extended are much higher.
- Connect with the fans: Creating a loyal fanbase or creating brand loyalty is extremely important for any venture to gain success. If you want to succeed as a musician you need to start thinking of yourself as the brand and for that, you will need a strong and loyal fanbase. The first step to building that is to get more visibility and awareness which can be done if you add track to Spotify playlist. The people who wouldn’t have listened to the tracks otherwise will now not only listen to it, but if they like it they will also follow you.
- Get noticed: If your music has a high reach that proves that you are becoming a successful artist and people like your artistry. This will be especially helpful in getting noticed by record labels. There are thousands of artists uploading music on Spotify every hour, but how many of them are famous? If you think about the reasons, it is not only the lack of talent but the lack of promotion.
- Getting opportunities for more collaborations: When you will get increased audience reach and more streams on your music you will start to see the success in real life as well. The more people will know your music, the more gigs and opportunities you will get in real life. You will also gain more opportunities to explore collaborations.
So don't just work hard, work smart!
