it depends on your engagement rate

Word up!!!

You should promote for at least 1.5 months until you trigger the algorithm and then you can back off. But I'm always promoting something

@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS i have a playlist ive been building for years on youtube and just started on Spotify and it's all about promoting unique independent artists at no cost to them

Glad to help!

So glad their helping!

Buy on to an existing tour brah :) But more streams you got the more leverage you gonna have!

@ if I buy on then I’ll be known as that artists that wasn’t good enough to get offered a tour for free brah stains your rep forever

Tired of getting 100 of thousands of streams??? Seems like a good problem to have

@@iamhvrcrftyou not tapped in

@@iamhvrcrftyou care about that bro (which is good!) but I promise you your fans won’t. In fact unless you tell them they’ll never know

Yes, the 2nd one, release less and promote more

I have tried both and Spotify gave me 35 cents per conversion and meta I have gotten as low as 9 cents. Meta seems a lot better but it takes a lot longer to set up and Spotify ads just take a few clicks

Meta for maximum scale. Spotify ads are great for beginners with less then 50,000 monthly listeners

@@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS i have around 1000 monthly listeners how long and how much should i pay per day on spotify ads to push me up to around 50000?

$9000 baby! You scale up to it! Start at $10 a day. The cool is to get momentum, eventually you can turn the ads off and the streams/royalties keep coming :) IF the song connected... This business ain't for the faint hearted.

You're just not ready. You need to dream bigger dude. Change your surroundings and read some books

Glad it was helpful!

Its never bad too build your personal brand leading up to releasing music and share the story... :)

If people skip your music, imagine how fast they would skip an entire playlist made ONLY of it…

@ not quite the same because the difference being they would know they would be listening to unpopular music and mainly by yourself so they in their discovery mode, whereas in a “Hip Hop or Rock Playlist” a lot of people would be listening for something they know and not so much to discover something new, don’t get it twisted there are people that love to discover new music, but they are more the outcasts in comparison

@@DaGrimmOneOfficial what you usually do is make a playlist with two of your songs, then some other famous songs, then another of yours, then famous songs, with yours mixed in. Then, your promotion points to the first song of the playlist. This way, people go to the playlist for your song, and remain hooked for the famous ones, and go to listen more of yours. If you only make a playlist with your songs, all unknown to them, after 3-4 songs they would move over because all unknown songs are a tiresome listening, and these days people don't want tiresome listening. Otherwise, artists would still be making albums...but what works are singles nowadays, whether you like it or not...

@ answer this one since you feel you know it all, out of all the songs on that playlist, which would have more skips and which will have more streams/saves? I have done it many times of playlist of just my own songs and gained many streams, saves and playlist adds, not only that interaction on my socials and merch sales, from what I can say is playlist of just my own songs has worked and I see no downside to it because they are getting exactly what they came over for rather than mixing in this and that to try and piggyback off other songs, if you wanna go down a curator route that would suit x1000 better

@DaGrimmOneOfficial "answer this one since you feel you know it all". I don't have time to waste with personal attacks that lead nowhere. I explained the idea behind the suggestion. You like doing it differently from what everyone suggests? Fine.

Says the guy with no youtube videos uploaded... You got to play the game if you want to "win" the game

okay, you speak about someone earning US Salary, the prizes for ads for these platforms are the same across countries tho (I do believe) i have a lets say 2000k dollar salary and i pay 100 a day for 30 days (spending more than i do earn) to get what in return? whats the real money ROI? Shouldnt be a such channel that focuses on "starting artists" like me focused firstly on "getting hermetic community first" making relations and collabs? You do talk about that too but you do focus mostly on investing freaking amount of money. starting artist does not think about 15k listeners but about just 5,15,100 first real fans, about hermetic group that believes in you
