If You're a SMALL Artist... DO ALL THIS NOW

[@WatchMan70707]

I've been working hard to promote better and figure out good release schedules. Thanks a ton for making these videos manafest!

[@ariskali4660]

appreciate your overall enthusiasm with music and life. Nice work 👍🏽

[@JodieJoyMusic]

Yes to use these tools in your artist account though you have to have over 5000 streams, for artists starting out you can't use these tools to increase your fans unfortunately.

[@LucasDomProject]

they should pin this post ,but they wont ,he`s kinda breaking my trust not saying this bit ,so thanks for the heads up

[@TchiyaAmet]

Musicvertising will help you get more streams listeners & followers

[@JosephineDeSmet]

in total or on one song... I really hate that giant wall on every platform where you need an insane amount of streams or watchtime or followers to get features that should help you get there in the first place!!! they don't seem to realize how hard it is if you're an actual small artist to get the ball rolling... cause you don't have the tools to get the data you need to be taken seriously in terms of pitches, press release, epk, etc you don't have data to speak for yourself... it's not all about the numbers but it is if you actually want to get anywhere

[@chrisfofficial]

From the Campaign/Marquee wiki: "Only for artists in U.S., Australia, or the U.K."

[@DizzTrack]

@@LucasDomProject he did mention it in the video around 1:55

[@DreamingWhileAwakeMusic]

Great info thanks for posting

[@THRONEx]

Fantastic video. Just subscribed. Can you tell me, in your experience does it make more sense to enable discovery mode for, every song possible, a lot of good songs, or just a couple great songs? I can't tell if I'm spreading the push thin, or if I'm giving each song a chance. So far I've been conservative and pushed every song it lets us which is like 40 tracks. But I'm wondering if it might be better for me to just push our top 5 or top 10 songs. Since you've used the feature for a long time I figured you might have some insight! Thank you again for everything, gonna peep your other videos now!

[@sopranofan6118]

Im about to get on spotify for artists this week. Your my go to guy for tips my man

[@Vision_Sound]

Please let us know what is your experience with spotify until now.

[@TheLilHooliganShow]

you need a 1000 followers for this...

[@JustMarioSIM]

Thank You Brotha!! i only have 42 monthly listeners but we grow soon!!

[@benmenneken1854]

Thanks for the good input! Just a little feedback for the video itself: maybe you could decrease the whoosh sounds and transition effects, was a bit hard to focus on the content :) Cheers!

[@Silvertung]

One question Chris. Once the campaign is over, do they continue to take royalties from those songs or no?

[@stevemorano9317]

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately My Spotify is below the minimum requirements. But still making a living as a full time singer songwriter at live shows. So that’s ok 👍

[@CrystalReneeMusic]

Thanks, again 😁.

[@VictoriaWhitlock]

Omggg Manafest! I remember listening to you during my childhood!

[@johngreen3587]

Excellent content as usual

[@yolandacharlesmusic]

Long way off being able to use those services, but appreciate your channel and info - thanks!

[@swampdweller5]

Spotty was still dealing with legal issues with copyright as recently as 2020. I would compare it to an ocean of broken glass. They make up their own stats. Glad it works for you though…

[@missdaisyse]

I'm new on Spotify for Artist. My songs are live but I don't have the "megafon-button". What do I need to do to get it?

[@thejuicemusicshow]

They are still in beta testing, so it's possible you don't have enough streams/listeners to be selected for beta testing. It will roll out for everyone eventually. Hang in there 🍹

[@ElyJaffeMusic]

I love your videos thank you for everything!

[@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS]

Thanks for watching!

[@ELRADONE]

I don't even qualify for the Marqee...but i am working hard on building a base on the app♍♍

[@bitflux2]

i dont see discovery mode, and marquee my release is ineligible : (

[@ThruItAll]

we have 3000 spotify followers, and 7000 streams in the past 28 days and still can't access marquee LOL. and "discovery mode" is for accounts with 25,000 monthly listeners or more...should be called "already been discovered mode"

[@rideshareglobalprotest]

Does turning it on per song give you more views? Or it just shows data?

[@justin.johnson]

I love Spotify, but dislike the home screen clips. Clips slow down the app performance and I can't find a setting to turn it off.

[@CrystalReneeMusic]

Do the Spotify templates work for Rnb Artist?

[@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS]

Heck yes! Rnb is bigger then the metal genre :)

[@IdoBerg]

damn 5k streams and 1k+ followers.. ye... its not for "small artists"

[@Lucky786-k1y]

am so so so confused. My single is ready but i don't understand all these things this is so confusing.

[@hambonetunes1988]

If I am newer artist with not many songs, how many songs might you recommend a newer artist have on streaming services before they invest in marketing like this, or at all?

[@thejuicemusicshow]

Let us jump in on this. We would suggest having a full album of minimum 7 songs out. Chose 3 singles (max) to prioritize your campaings off for the next album. This is because, in case a booker for a venue comes across your song and they decide to check you out, they need to see that you're able to performe for at least 30 minutes or more. They don't know your unreleased back catalog. They can only see what's OUT and they'll judge on that behalf. So.. Don't waste too much money on your first "album", but spend your time wisely on (max) 3 singles on your second album.

[@realblackpeace]

Awesome 👍

[@SoniSonia]

I get 64000 streem in my last single "Vibra" but I cant make a marqee becouse I am from Argentina

[@Pmjmedia]

Marquee works for Canadian artists? I thought it was only in the States

[@tokyogamer5825]

I have 9,000 monthly streams and don't have any discovery mode or marque in my spotify for artist. I am Canadian also.

[@mwaves4152]

Can you do it for albums and mixtapes 🤝🔥

[@AndiNovaOfficial]

Marquee payment and stuff not available für Europe, spotify artist shows...

[@rainer_klvsaudio]

How do you qualify for marquee? I don’t have any of those option yet

[@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS]

Marquee is just a re-targeting tool, means you don't have enough streams. Run Spotify or FB ads

[@chrisfofficial]

@@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS I got like 100k-150k streams montly per song and it's been steady like that for more than a year (+30k followers), but my Artists page looks nothing like that. Only Profile, Home, Music and Audience. I don't think those tools are available outside of U.S. & Canada.

[@chrisfofficial]

Found the answer myself, only available for artists based in U.S., Australia, or the U.K.

[@Vision_Sound]

@@chrisfofficial This is for real? Why they did that?

[@tokyogamer5825]

My artist has 9,000 monthly listeners and 1100 followers and doesnt have this available. We are however located in Toronto Canada. Is this available outside the US?

[@AstonKalmari]

Damn I am frustrated for Spotify not allowing us to use these features here in Finland..!! 😅

[@insomnia1on1]

so what about ATMOS?? gonna be expensive to add all that hardware just to get to add song`s to spotify and Apple music, gonna kill alot of bedroom artist`s

[@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS]

We'll see if ATMOS sticks, Studio heads care about it, but I haven't had ONE fan ask me about it. I wouldn't sweat it.

[@ALibraPro]

Me with my 44 streams😢. Need to adv bad. Maybe it's just too obscure

[@BG4life13]

if you're a small artist, literally upload everywhere except for spotify.. they don't give 2 fucks about independent artists..

[@egrets_666]

Bandcamp first everything else second

[@JosephineDeSmet]

how do you get to the point where you can run a marquee... I don't know how you get that

[@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS]

Get 2,500 followers or 10,000 monthly listeners, you probably just need to meet the stream requirements, in the meantime, RUN ADS

[@JosephineDeSmet]

@@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS you mean ads on other platforms right? cause Ironically marquee won't work

[@edlangen]

i dont have megaphone on my browser, why?

[@JAPANESEJENN]

MARQUEE ???

[@JosephineDeSmet]

how do you get the megaphone

[@jpopsisoka2892]

Am new upcoming artist from Zambia 🇿🇲

[@rajinderprasadmusicproduction]

All sponsors provide paid promotions . It is hard for a low budget newcomer to promote Spotify releases overall .

[@MichaelHensen]

Chris, one thing I don't understand though about some of these posts is... You have about 5 videos more recently that refer to other artists as "Small or Tiny". What exactly does that mean, if you are trying to help artists regardless of how big or where they are in their career??? I mean, if you haven't had a Billboard charting hit, are you a small or tiny artist?? or what do you mean by small, is this some specific status set?? All I'm saying is, these seem to be truly helpful videos... which many I've seen are, as a performer/songwriter/producer, but seems better if they are coming from a place in which it doesn't matter what level you are at in your career, because if you are an artist with decent viable music.. that no matter what, big, medium or small.. there is a place for you to prosper and do well with your music. I'm getting that is your general take, but I feel like some videos just seem to be.. aiming at a particular "Level" and for me as an artist who has performed over 2000 shows for free, not to include 1000's of paid performances over the years sometimes seems a little less transparent. What you do is amazing, and many artists in your position are offering zero help for up and coming artists... so please know, the information you've shared I greatly appreciate and I'm not saying anything about what you are offering - but in a day when a single artist is playing all the instruments, mixing, mastering, promoting, tiktoking, IG posting, Facebook Live, KZbin Live, contributing to community, working separate jobs, helping other music people during open mic sessions, and the 100 others things some of us continue to do.. (i'm also doing a college radio promo where I've promoted 65 artists to college radio, and now I'm working with playlisters /non paid ones/ as well as indie radio to help promote artists all while running an indie label too) it can seem defeating and tiresome too. So, sometimes it's a bit off putting when some of us see, the words small or tiny to pinpoint a status of a particular musicians/perfomers career.

[@bguilleminot]

I have seen people calling themselves "small artists" and having already tens of thousands of monthly listeners. That's why I like to call myself a "microbe" artist :)

[@bon3xprod]

@@bguilleminot true haha

[@SpaceLobster21]

I am interested in the content in this video and at least one of these tips were useful to me, but I did not watch the full video. I skimmed through to the important information because I find your editing style extremely overbearing and difficult to watch. I don't mean any ill will towards your channel, just wanted to suggest toning it down a little to be less aggressive and in-your-face constantly

[@rachelzona]

dont have this in brazilll :((((((((

[@Smlmusic2650]

I have 27 followers, my biggest song has like 70 streams 😂

Nice vid. But you need to get some sleep, bro

8 hours a night!

[@BluesLicks101]

Who's got the $$$ to do all this gambling on paid ads? What is needed is qualified A&R departments at every streaming service working with artists they believe in.

[@TheClaudio7078]

I reaD the story about fake spotify artists in some of their playlist's interesting reportage

Don’t chase the dream. It’s wicked, man. Build a home, make a family, do honest work and get to know God. It’s far more fulfilling. I promise

These stock videos everyone puts in their videos recently are so annoying. When did this become a trend and why? It's so stupid and cringe.

[@Logan800]

this is actually very annoying and very spammy! I'm a premium user I don't want to see this spammy crap. I can care less about artists that I'm not following. 99 percent of the time is not the artist that I'm following.
