How To Double Your Daily Spotify Plays In 10 MINUTES

Releasing music is the pay-off, the exciting part you've been waiting for after crafting your music. But without time and preparation, it's tough for it to get the traction you want. We need to rethink how we release our music for the best possible outcome. Stop hoping for the best and start planning for that momentum - let me know your thoughts below!

👇 ABOUT ME:
Hey! I’m Damian Keyes and I've worked with musicians every day of my life for the past 20 years. The internet is de ply untrusting understandably and here is my background so you can have the full picture.
When I was 18, I was signed to a major label and at 23 I co-founded a Music University in Europe called BIMM (valued at $300M). I’m also a bass player, I’ve played for a number of artists including Eric Clapton, Alanis Morrisette and Billy Cobham. I initially retired at 30, but realised that life gets boring if you’re not building!
I have always been in-between the music industry and education which is how I ended up building my KZbin channel - I’ve been teaching artists how to release music long before it was a ‘niche’! I now educate artists around the world with my Academy, KZbin channel and Social Agency.
It’s great to meet you and looking forward to working together on your music!

Can you imagine how satisfying it would be to scroll back up and smash that like button turning it into a crisp shade of blue

Done as always :)

Yay, I can double mine too now. So I am looking at 8 plays this month.

[@Officialcbr]

Lol. Innit.

[@GiftBeats]

I feel you bro 😭😂

The way I look at it, it’s 8 plays more than most of your buddies have. 🤣

[@brianwall6575]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@holahowie7654]

BIG TIP!!! if you put the video’s playback speed to 2X, you will be able to quadruple your daily spotify plays!

[@DamianKeyes]

😂😂😂😂

[@serratusx]

It's less overwhelming and stress-inducing at half-speed. Seriously, the energy of the presentation makes it feel like it's too much

[@LouisBurgessComedy]

This is so over-complicated. If I wanna double my spotify plays I just have to listen to the song again.

[@DamianKeyes]

Hahaha love this

I am so with you, dude 😅

When I saw the title of the vid my first thought was, "I'll get six streams per day now!" JK, I am watching the video while eating blueberry pie. Damien knows what I am talking about.

[@UsoundsGermany]

Does spotify not have some algorythm which may interfere if from the same IP adress stuff is played over and over ?

@@lucalibre5286 you muat have so much unique jokes

[@TJ-vt6rt]

Totally with you. My Spotify listeners (sorry, listener) currently stands at 1. I expect that to hit 0 pretty soon. Woohoo for being a musician.

[@lucalibre5286]

Why did the chicken crossed the road?

[@GuitarFin1]

My strategy is to release a single every three weeks until one blows up. That way my numbers keep going up which helps with everything. I start teasing only a week before. Started releasing in february and Im currently at +10k monthly listeners and well over a 100k streams!

[@DamianKeyes]

That’s amazing!

[@kennygourmet]

This is my plan right now. Released a song 3 weeks ago, second one dropping in 3 days. What techniques did you use?

[@JonathanAvilaMusic]

GangstarapMadeMeDoIt hey man! That’s a cool strategy! I have a question for you....Have you considered, noticed or thought about your followers getting tired or bothered by the fact that every month you are asking them to go listen to a new song? Just asking to see what is you experience in that area... any fan burnout? Thanks in advance for the reply.

[@lbks16]

@@JonathanAvilaMusic I can imagine people losing interest because of strategy "Go listen to my music" every 3 weeks. How many monthly listeners do you have? I am stuck currently with 10 monthly listeners and Spotify algorithm is not helping at all to get new listeners. What do you suggest?

[@KellyDante]

labakais16 get listeners to add your song(s) to their playlist (no matter how small the following on the playlist is) & the Spotify algorithm will pick it up. Check Damo’s 24 hour release strategy video for more in-depth info!

[@MapleSnoople]

I can increase my spotify plays from 0 streams to 0 streams? What a deal!

[@mingomarrero]

The most satisfying thing after spending days creating music is having to create a plan to promote or make music video, album cover, register the songs, promote it on social media etc. I enjoy the process of making music. Everything after drains my energy, the digital world changes fast, every strategies gets obsolete from one song to another, including trying to have a viral hit.

[@dreammachine432]

Our new album is going to blow up!

[@TrueShotOfficial]

Patience is so key! We are a metalcore band from the states. Essentially what we do is this: Our vocalist Richard handles 99% of the marketing. What does that mean? Well, it started by building up our KZbin channel. We did it a bit differently than other bands by doing reaction videos of the genre we are in/around. We also just launched a podcast. This allowed us to reach over 7k views on our release back in March when our sub count was obviously lower. From there, we target Spotify playlists. How so? Well, now, we have done extensive research of playlists we'd fit on and put them in a spreadsheet. Once we get the master back, we start to reach out, with the song and explain the release date. Fortunately, Richard also has a journalism degree and has done *some* press release writing, so he does that as well and sends it to outlets. For our last release, we did a Nintendo Switch Lite Giveaway for pre-saves. With the current climate, we are not doing that, however. We are getting a music video, lyric video, and audio visualizer made for staggered release. We plan on releasing one of the videos through another KZbin channel with a massive following, followed by a video on our personal KZbin. Then a week later, we will release the music video. We are also going to do something where we will have reaction channels do reactions, get segments of those videos, and make another "video". And of course, we will definitely do some targeted marketing on social media - NOT BOOSTING! A lot of this stuff is trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. It's important to spend money and market. You WILL mess up sometimes. We are definitely not experts at this. We've taken in information from numerous sources, including Damian to help with this. No, this comment wasn't meant to put over what we are doing but to lend a helping hand. A lot can be done DIY these days, but yes... It takes a lot of time and effort! Thanks for reading. Love the content, Damian!

[@mattabbagnaro6677]

Hey Damian, just wanted to say a huge thanks for these videos. A mate of mine turned me on to your work and have to say I'm hooked! After some time in numerous bands, I'm starting on my own with solo music. It's all recorded and the first single's slated for 6th November (everything's ready now and am submitting it to Spotify on Monday). Starting from scratch is obviously tough and I'm feeling the strain, but these videos have been brilliant!! It's really teaching me about what to expect, to put the work in and more (particularly the piece about releasing music with zero fans). Have subscribed. Am looking forward to watching more! :D

[@fikalaredo5762]

Been waiting all morning for this!! Love your stuff thanks for all the help

[@DamianKeyes]

Ah thanks so much Connor!! Let me know if there’s anything more I can do 😊🤟

[@lbks16]

How did he help you? Maybe i have something similar..

[@sophiakorz]

Hi Damo! Thank you SO MUCH for this... I've been getting discouraged after every move I make on social media, etc, but your videos always pick me up and help me get motivated again. I shared your channel with a bunch of artists I know as well so hopefully they can benefit too. I just released my second single "Breathe" in response to the COVID situation and was disappointed with the reception since I find it really hard to break out of my immediate circle. I'm not in a great financial place right now (shocker there!) and am still in uni so I've been working with a friend to come up with creative ways of gaining momentum and fundraising and your videos have really helped both of us get an idea for future strategies. Cheers from Canada!

[@noelmende]

I followed a lot of the steps you’ve shared and my recent ep just hit 1 thousand streams! IM GRATEFUL FOR THIS CHANNEL! THANK YOU

[@tdragon2573]

Thanks for the wisdom Damian, it's always has a lot of value. Just released 3 singles with music videos since quarantine started! Small reactions but really working on making 20 first tracks to just get past the beginner stages as a musician.

@@DamianKeyes We hope you do! It's definitly worth it ;) Something that you didn't mention is the importance of the first 24 hours. Having a presave and 600-700 (for our level) people listen in the first day pushed us really really far up the algorithm and we're kissing 20k after a month :)

[@noname-ng6sj]

@@joshthurlow11 I completely disagree with that. It's not real anymore. Ever since 2018, Q2 2018; it's been about slowburns. I have a few songs that managed to hit it and they're fucking killing it.

This has been great for a few reasons: I'm solo, so executing all your suggestions was a huge task in the timeline you suggested, this release was the last from my current EP and it'll be a good while until I release something else so it's giving me lots of content ideas to keep things interesting in my feed and not just posting another freaking selfie!!

[@davidblairmusic]

Quick Summary! 1 Give yourself time to breathe (prepare and think about strategy) 2 What are you aiming for? (have a goal in mind so you can have your release in context and be able to measure if you're growing or not) 3 Get your Spotify profile in order (prepare again) 4 Planning content pre-release (preparation - warm people up to your song so they know when and where to hear it when it's ready) 5 Do you know how to get the most out of your budget? (do you even have a budget - what are you aiming for - remind yourself of step 2) Nice job Damian! What are you aiming for really set's the tone for every other step in my opinion. Measurable results.

[@DamianKeyes]

Thanks David, great summary! 👊 Setting goals really is such an important thing to do in all areas. Without that, you have no way of measuring how you’re doing, or how you can improve... and without goal setting you are really setting yourself up for a fall mentally as you can’t really achieve anything if you haven’t set it!

[@flyguy8787]

I’ve been watching your videos and I will always appreciate your step by step “Spotify for artists” walkthrough where you essentially listed off what needed to be on your Spotify profile, it’s the best one on KZbin and you should be honored by the whole of the internet for that work. HOWEVER, I have to be honest, i have no clue how anything you just said in this video really relates to the videos title. “Prepare promo materials beforehand” which is what you essentially conveyed, has nothing to do with “how to double your Spotify numbers” really. there’s a video you had recently where the advice was essentially “Be YungBlud” Maybe I’m just all wrong and I should just be thankful, but I’m sure some of us want more specifics than “create a buzz”

[@DimitriyPavlovskiy]

Yeah, preparation always makes sense, creating excitement for the upcoming song. Released a single with no ads first, just did a couple of video teasers/making of stuff a month before release and lots of people starting to presave it. After the release, we boosted it with ads, along with sending the track to the radio stations. In the end, the song added more than 50 playlists on Spotify, including editorial. Can't say that we get millions of plays, but definitely, it works better, than our last cooperation with a recording label, who decided to release an album only with one single. BTW, we playing Melodic Metal.

[@theennrons]

I recognise so much from releasing our debut EP in May this year. We did crowdfunding, hired a studio and got right into the creative process. The EP was released on Spotify and we got around 700 streams in total (for all the tracks together) in the first month. Then...nothing. We’re doing better than we were before, but nowhere near as good as we had hoped. We didn’t have a plan for promoting our music. So, after countless hours of watching KZbin videos we’ve come up with a plan to release 12 new tracks over the next 18 months (one every six weeks) with three videos for each one. Video 1 on release day, video 2 two weeks later, video 3 two weeks after that. Two weeks after that comes the next release and the cycle starts again. The release dates are already pencilled in our agenda. Since we know which songs we’re going to release, and when, we can already start recording. We’re also planning on a couple of collaborations with other artists, either remixing our stuff or doing something new together. Finally, we’ve started revamping our Spotify page, but watching this video has made me realise that we still have some work to do there. Thanks for the tips.
