If anyone has had some success from watching my vids please let me in the comments. I’d love to hear it ❤

[@Dodgeraf]

I Suppose "Success" Is Subjective To Every Person, But I've Been Watching Since Your Studio Was Still In The Garage! Learnt So Much From You Fr, And Learning Consistency From You Has Brought Me So Much More Exposure, And I've Seen Nothing But Growth, Thank You For All Your Hard Work 🫶❤️ Stay Beautiful 🦋

[@icywavs]

Hit 100,000 monthly listeners all thanks to you, L.Dre 🤗

[@spin._major]

​@@icywavslucky you All the best 😢😢

[@wrldoftalkativity-zz5xn]

Yoh You should make a apple music video

[@Tkayboy23]

Thanks, L.Dre, for your videos always I have learned a lot through this channel Would you make another video about how to upload an album on Distrokid, and it will never be removed even if I stop paying membership fees 😊

[@badatmath.]

Not gonna lie, I wouldn't have any streams or monthly listeners if it weren't for your videos getting me started, especially this type that teaches the basics of marketing music. Your video were integral in getting my music heard. Much love. ✌

[@OliverCharlesMusic]

Why is your disposition so calming and pleasant. Also... "Chasing viral videos is not a healthy way to live."... I couldn't agree more. Thanks for making these.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Thank you very much

[@virtascendgmbh5322]

Thank you for these points. I haven't had any song going viral yet, but consistency and playlisting help me to get more and more followers!

[@beatzbyhaystixx]

Looking to cross from primarily selling type beats to releasing songs with artist and also release instrumentals. Thank you for videos like this, they really help a lot.

[@EdinKaso_Composer]

Hey man! Really appreciate the advice coming from someone who has actually been there, done it, and succeeded. I find there's so many people giving out advice when they themselves have nothing to show that their advice works...It's honestly frustrating =/ Also you being an instrumental artist is nice too because I find most advice is from/for vocal artists. Big thanks :)

[@icywavs]

Always giving gems, L.Dre! Thank you for the vibes 🔥🔥🔥

[@myceliumbug]

oh look a guy I collaborated with

[@WorldOrderMusic]

Great video! Thank you 👍 I like your perspective, patience and persistence is key 🎸

[@Papi530]

Congrats on 1 million monthly listeners!!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Phenomenal video bro! Inspiring!

[@DJPastaYaY]

Thanks for the tips!

[@karacoldmusic]

Love that you do these. I'm sure this rapid growth also leads to so many streams on the back end. Like I wouldn't be surprised if you're still getting hundreds of thousands of streams on songs you released years ago.

[@nitoshadow]

Collab?

[@2lone_]

out of all the video there is on the same topic I knew to come here because you about what you teach, quality and consistency 💯

[@zische]

I like your videos. Brief and precise to the point

[@DreamingWhileAwakeMusic]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great video thanks for the Spotify tips

[@KarlSadler]

great advice, thanks for sharing

[@Bashanvibe]

I have mad respect for your art at work!!!!👊🏾

[@LDreTheGiant]

I appreciate that!!

[@vitor_music]

Yoooo great video, one can tell you’re speaking as someone who ACTUALLY had success in the real world .. keep it up man 👊👊

[@LDreTheGiant]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@spencercademusic]

This was so good, thank you L. Dre

[@JOSCH_MUSIC]

Thanks for the great video as always. Like most things that lead to success, the process is simple but certainly not easy.

[@AceGottaBanger]

Great advice man thanks

[@3JakobG7]

your videos are so helpful, thank you so much

[@camiloduartemusic2052]

Great Video L.Dre 🔥🔥🔥

[@LDreTheGiant]

Thanks 💯

[@AlexAmarMusic]

Great video, concise and well said. I’m gonna try out what you said. Thank you 🙏

[@Yorke00]

u a beast thank you for all your advices!!

[@chrisgreen7853]

Bro thank you for this.

[@TheMuseap]

you killed it w this one bro

[@Rote8Music]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I've just released my first Lofi instrumental track on Spotify so I'm taking a lot from this video. Thanks again.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Glad it was helpful!

[@g4ostyrecords]

Love your videos, thank you for the tips! I work really hard on making my music and I’m hoping these tips will help me grow my audience.

[@OfficialDada_P]

Very true.patince and consistency are your freinds

[@SamFocused]

Great Content Amazing Video 💯💯💯 One Thing I would add is... Consistency is Key. The Spotify Algorithm can Pick Song on for Example "Spotify Radio" even 2 years after you Released it!!!!

[@LDreTheGiant]

Very true!

[@Sikanderisa]

Man I’m so thankful for your tips 🎉 and thanks for the knowledge. And if you ever wanna collaborate I’m here ! :)

[@KyraSimoneofficial]

Thanks for the inspiring ❤

[@cblanchhiphop]

Great video man

[@rahulacb11]

amazing video man! thanks a ton for the info. But @12:14 how can you use your monitors over your hoodie? that's crazy!

[@mastermeme6751]

Thanks bro!

[@f4llenstarr]

11:00 bro!! Insane you say this. I have an artist with over 300k monthly listeners, steady streams etc. We did the Discovery thing and it said the exact same thing, same playlists etc and it said that are streams were up but absolutely nothing changed. If anything they went down a little! Haven't used it since. Very weird.

[@LDreTheGiant]

hmmmmmmm 🤔 I also noticed things seemed a little slower after that but I didn't want to seem like it was a conspiracy or something

[@Justforcoms]

Can you talk more about how your track went viral, what content you made to make it happen, what was the main content other people made to make it happen etc? Thanks

[@pcLumsy1]

Thank you ❤️👏💖

[@mistaish]

I saw you at AES NYC. Wasn’t able to come over to say hello. Im saying it now. Wasssup !!

[@myceliumbug]

very nice video Ldre

[@MujjOMusic]

Nice info 💫

[@MoromoMusic]

Thank you for this

[@LDreTheGiant]

Any time 🙏🏾

[@T1C3]

Factz, collaboration brings out a new you everytime. Collab! Do it!🥶🤟🏽

[@ai_music909]

Thank you for the video, I just started making music. This will definitely help to get listeners to my Spotify page.

[@oneloyalfan]

50 million streams is insane!

[@cleopofficial]

Thanks For this video

[@kubamusicprod]

Thanks for this video King ! P P

[@LDreTheGiant]

You’re welcome 🙏🏾

[@rizzebbrell8105]

Good work

[@brendrunkk]

Great video

[@Jimmybababoigameboy.]

Thx man

[@ATLXNTIS1]

Thats a video ive been waiting for, thanks for that L.Dre!

[@iguazul]

L. Dre spoke facts in this video

[@CoRyBiNks]

hey bro thanks for the vid! quick question: how much did you spend on the discovery mode thing when you tried it??? I'm a new artist and think it's worth a shot, just not sure how much I should be spending

[@beatsbykana]

meticulously pitching to individual playlists is hard work, but I definitely wouldn't have the streams I finally have without doing it. I would say it's definitely more reliable than trying to chase viral videos of course lol

[@arturaravidi]

Thx bro

[@myceliumbug]

I think another very useful thing is of course subit to lables for release and join theyr compilation project most labels do:)

[@JSoulKeys]

Appreciate the video bro. I hope I do well in the contest today! See you soon :D Jamaal

[@sounddedaniel8760]

Ty

[@SoulPapiii]

simple n effective

[@mb17k]

preciate it

[@THE_PRFSSRX]

Hello, I am a relatively new artist and I make instrumental beats, as you said in the video, you do too. How did you overcome the struggles of competing with songs and artists that have lyrics, and how did you promote your tracks? And how long did it take from when you released your first track to get to 1k monthly listeners? Also is it possible for two instrumental artists to collaborate? Thanks

[@samsmusichub]

It's gonna happen bro, thanks.

[@user-xh2ee3lu2n]

I'm gone

[@user-sr3uf6qt6k]

Ive been pitching my song to Spotify editorial playlist for years never Got on them.

[@Jaysixmusica]

1 and 3 on point but I’d put facebook and instagram ads above playlists any day. Playlists build streams not fans

[@LDreTheGiant]

Yeah but you have to spend so much money to see any great results

[@Jaysixmusica]

@@LDreTheGiant yeah the conversions are never gonna be amazing, I spend about $600 per month on FB/IG Spotify campaigns and average roughly 40-50 new Spotify followers per month. That’s almost $15 per follower (which is insane) but every follower is a potential ‘super fan’ who may buy a ticket or hoodie down the line!

[@hetaliamusic]

i will now become multi billionarie producer

[@LDreTheGiant]

You got this

[@wilmoremusic]

I be seeing that point a to point z reference

[@kingg7457]

@ldrethegiant appreciate all you do good brother. Could you possibly do a tutorial on your approach to avoid the annoying compression that Instagram and tiktok use that lowers the sound quality of a track? Sounds awful on Instagram reels and distorted on tiktok. Sounds like they change the quality from stereo to mono. Is there a solution? Thanks in advance.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Hmmm im not sure I haven't run into an issue like that in ages and I dont really do anything special

[@punkrosezer01197]

what mic are you using?

[@Dodgeraf]

LETS GO 👀

[@LDreTheGiant]

First

[@Dodgeraf]

@@LDreTheGiant YAY!

[@kidroger00]

hey bro big fan i just wanna ask 1 question. everyone likes my song on tiktok, i get a lot of likes, but no one listens to it on spotify. i don't know what I should do is there anything you can suggest me? :/

[@nitoshadow]

If anyone is down let’s collab Don’t matter the genre

[@MarkMotta]

nice video

[@oneloyalfan]

Could you explain again how you got onto lofigirl playlist? Do you give away copyright and royalties to them? I saw somewhere they said you could use / download the songs for free use, that true? Asking for a friend 😅

[@LDreTheGiant]

The have a label and Mondo Loops releases with them all the time and that song was part of his album with them. And yes you can use them for KZbin videos and streaming and all that for free

[@Coskunmusic]

whats your reason for staying independent?

[@Skulptursound]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👨🏽‍🍳

[@2lasbeats]

❤❤❤

[@ambientnightsph]

Should you only collaborate with artists with exact same genre?

[@winslowdonovanmusic]

lesgooo

[@Professor_Pat]

One day I will do a collaboration with L.Dre I promise you that. Just watch me make that happen. I appreciate you sharing your secrets.

[@averyintelligence]

How did u manage to get more playlist saves than adds? thats unusual

[@LDreTheGiant]

I’m not sure honestly but I will say I personally never add track to my library. I usually just add to my playlists. There’s really no point of adding to your library if it’s in your playlist

[@DJ-Clify]

You didn’t talk in details about collaborations?

[@joeyspazummusic]

Great advice in this video man

[@Sakima205]

Going viral on social media has alot to do with how popular said person was prior to going viral.

[@jenonshahadatabir]

23k views but like 1.6M..!!👀

[@user-xh2ee3lu2n]

Paulie v

[@jaklair]

66

[@hayzofficial7229]

SO basically you advertising for Spotify with your dollars and aid them retain customers new or old. Yet they'll pay you 0.000048

[@Sakima205]

I honestly confused as to why a producer would want to have Beats on streaming.... why not sell to artists and have an actual product? Artists can't even record on those beats for mkxtape purposes bc they are copywriten...

[@indrajeetjfadatare]

tupac??????

Never give up guys :)
