For added discovery alongside your organic efforts, consider targeted\u00a0Spotify promotion<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to reach listeners already engaged with your genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How much money will you make from Spotify sales?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, Spotify isn\u2019t the distribution service you use to make money, it\u2019s there to gain fans. Spotify has deals with rightsholders in all of its launch countries, which works by a royalty based on how frequently your music gets played so that each stream earns you a share of Spotify\u2019s advertising revenue. It\u2019s estimated that Spotify pays out $0.0038 per stream to usigned artists, meaning that you would need 380,000 plays to earn minimum wage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n How can you gain more streams? <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your music is on Spotify, start sharing your music as much as possible on socials and blogs. Getting your music out there is extremely difficult on Spotify as it\u2019s such a competitive market, however gaining placement on Spotify playlists can boost your streams and fanbase dramatically, hacking into the Spotify algorithm so that you eventually make it onto Top Recommendations and Weekly Discovery playlists. Gaining placement on Spotify playlists yourself can be hard so companies such as Burstimo offer services where they can pitch your music to thousands of suitable playlists, boosting your streams by hundreds of thousands.
