On Spotify, there are 6 different kinds of playlists:
1- Your Own Playlist.

5- Curated Spotify playlist.
6- Algorithmic playlist.

• Your friend’s band or bands you have touched with.
• Your influences.
• Place of origin like city, state, nation.
• Time, year, etc.
• Instrumentation.

On the “Spotify Playlist Made Simple: Step by Step Guide” page, you can find comprehensive information about how to create and share a playlist, add songs to it and make a Spotify playlist public or secret.

Listing Concerts and Festivals on Spotify

The concert tab on an artist’s profile is another service Spotify provides for artists to help them become more successful. Spotify helps artists promote their live performances as well as their virtual shows.
Spotify offers this service in the UK and is also taking steps in other countries.
Currently, Spotify has agreements with Ticketmaster, Songkick, Resident Advisor, Eventbrite, AXS,
StageIt, NoCap, Mandolin, nugs.net, Eplus which is only available in Japan, so all your fans will be able to see the date of your concert once your concert is registered on those platforms.

Additionally, Spotify has partnered with Ticketmaster, Songkick, StageIt, NoCap, Mandolin, and nugs.net to add virtual events, which have been on the rise these days, to your artist page after your show is listed on those platforms.

In parallel, your event (live show or virtual show) will be added to Spotify’s email list and Spotify will send an email to the people who are eligible to hear from your event.
As an example, your fans and potential fans who live in a city where a concert is being held will receive a personalized email, and also Spotify will promote your tour date to them.
Additionally, the date of your show will be displayed on your profile until one day after your event is over.

Merchbar For Spotify Artists

Another feature that Spotify provides for artists is Merchbar.
If you are an artist and you have had an experience of the live show, surely you remember some tables and shelves and showcases were placed in the room which you ran your concert or in the corridor leading to the exit door.
It was possible for your fans to purchase a variety of items on those showcases and shelves.
Spotify used this idea for helping artists, and Spotify activated the Merchbar feature on artist’s profiles.
The Spotify verified artists are able to use this feature today, and they can sell a variety of goods, and their fans can support them by buying their desired goods from their profiles.
The good news for the artist is this feature is completely free of charge and commission-free and all of the profit from that is for artists and company doesn’t receive any money from artists.

For showing off your merch table on Spotify you should:

• Sign up with Merchbar.
• If your merch company or your record label already has a partnership with them, you just have to ask them to make your merchandise available otherwise you should follow these steps:
• Get an Artist link account.
• Add Merch to Spotify.
• Submit for review.

When you list on Merchbar, up to three products will automatically turn out on your artist profile, and if you have more than three items on your merch bar, your artist profile will show the best three products for maximising engagements and sales.

Spotify Artist Playlist

Spotify playlists are another highly effective way for artists to promote their songs.
A Spotify playlist provides fans with insight into what you enjoy, and what inspires you. It also gives your fans an opportunity to better understand your culture and your personality.

• Artists have used playlists in so many different ways over the years to introduce their artwork better, for example, some create playlists regularly, allowing fans to listen to all of their music in one place.
• Artists created playlists from their tours in different countries and by doing so, they give their fans the chance to experience their shows live even if they cannot be there in person. This allows people to connect to your live world via the Spotify platform.
  In addition to the tickets and merchandise, you can offer on your artist profile, these tricks can be useful for you as an artist.

Algorithmic and editorial playlists are also effective ways for artists to introduce their work to many people around the world.

How to Send Our Song to Spotify Algorithmic and editorial playlists

You should consider these tips when you want to have your songs on these Spotify playlists:

• You cannot send your songs to those playlists by paying money, but there are still some ways to see your songs on them.

1. Send your album as soon as possible after it is ready to Spotify.
   When pitching songs, make sure to introduce them properly for Spotify in order to improve the chances of your songs getting picked up and, by that, Spotify can find the people who may like your genre and this kind of music taste easier.

2. If you introduce your songs correctly, it is highly possible that the algorithm after one week delivers your songs to your fans or potential fans.

3. When you see your songs on playlists, share them as much as you can, the more people hear your songs, the more likely they are to place on new playlists and stay on them for a long time, and you will gain more fans.

4. If your songs do not turn up on the playlist after your release them, don’t worry and keep sharing your music. In the future, your music will appear in the Spotify playlist.

In conclusion, don’t underestimate the power of playlists as a way to connect with your fans and potential fans.
Also, by sharing the playlists and your tracks, and by using the methods that we highlighted before, you can see your tracks on Editorial and Algorithmic Spotify playlists, allowing millions of people to listen to your tracks.

How to Pitch Your Music on Spotify Playlists

As I explained above, one of the ways to promote your song on Spotify is by pitching it to Spotify’s playlists editors. Here I am going to share my findings on this feature with you. I hope it will help you to get your music on Spotify playlists.

You can pitch a song to a Spotify playlist only if you are an admin or editor. Follow the steps below to get your music on Spotify playlist:

1. Launch the Spotify for Artist app.
2. Log into your Artist profile.
3. Choose a song that has not been released yet to pitch. For that follow one of these two ways:

• At the top of the Home section there is an option named PITCH FROM NEXT RELEASE, select it. Or,
• In the Spotify web platform, go to UPCOMING section and click on the Music to pitch the song you want to Spotify playlist.

5. Select the song you want.

6. Write some information about your music. Try to give complete information about your song to get a higher acceptance chance from Spotify.

After you complete this process, you should wait until you receive an email from Spotify informing you that your music is in the playlist.

Release Music on Spotify

After you get access to Spotify for artists, you can release your music on Spotify. As I was searching about this topic, I figured out that the easiest and fastest way to release your music is by working with a distributor.

The distributor will handle all the work regarding your licensing and whatsoever. The distributor you are working with will also pay the loyalties you earn from your music on Spotify.

The most important thing I understood from my searching about releasing your music via a distributor is choosing the proper one. You need to do some research about different companies and distributors, their method, their contract fee, and other matters before choosing one.

You can use the Spotify preferred distributors, too. Spotify provided a list consisting of some recommended distributors. You can visit their website to get familiar with their work and approach to release your music on Spotify.

You can also work as an independent which means you need to handle the distribution arrangements yourself in order to release your music on Spotify.

How to Upload Music on Spotify

There are two reasons why artists upload music to Spotify

• To release their music online to make money
• To upload their music locally in order to listen to them on their computer, so they can listen to them anywhere.

In order to upload your music to Spotify and other streaming services such as Apple Music, you must use a distributor. You can not upload them yourself.
The reason is that these approved distributors can control the submissions.
Distributors get your data, songs, and ensure that everything is in the right format before uploading it to Spotify.
In the market there are different distributors for uploading your songs, such as Distrokid, Tune Core, and CD Baby. You can select one of them or check the Aristotake blog for the latest news about distributor service.
You need two things when you upload music to Spotify:
CD or single art (at least 1500*1500 pixels). You can use apps like Canva to check that your art is the right size.
2- The music must have at least a 16-bit file format.

A distributor then asks you to fill out the rest of the information that they need, such as who wrote the songs, if you are releasing the music independently or with a label, etc. When you upload your work, you will be asked which streaming services you would like to distribute your music to, you may choose as many as you want, however, we recommend choosing them all to increase your chances of being heard.

There are different distributors in the market here I am going to explain how to use DistroKid to upload your music on Spotify

How to Upload a Song to DistroKid

For uploading songs to the DistroKid website, you should follow these steps:

• Go to the DistroKid website.

• Click on SIGN IN.

• Enter the code that you will receive from the DistroKid in the 2-step Authentication form.

1. In the Services section selects the stream services that you want to release your songs in it.
2. Specify how many songs you want to upload.
3. Answer that you previously released the song or not.
4. Insert your artist brand name but pay attention to the point that you should consider because some of the stream services may not accept the names that have some character or emojis
5. It shows that you are in which stream services now.
6. This is where you can enter the release date of your song (remember that it must be at least one week later than the current date.) and also let your fans know that they can preorder your songs or not.
7. Upload the cover of your songs.
8. Specify the language and genre of your songs.
9. Specify the title of tracks and other information about the people who help you to produce this artwork like songwriter and Price and etc.

11. Check the box you want, it is optional, but do not worry about that choose all of these boxes.
12. Click on Done.

• Waite to upload all of your songs.

• Here you can see all the songs that you uploaded.

Do Spotify Artists Get Paid

The answer to this question is “yes”.
The number of streams that an artist earns per stream is difficult to determine.
For each stream of music you listen to on platform, company spends some money on the artists who have recorded those songs, but we cannot precisely calculate the amount of money an artist will earn per stream due to various reasons.

• The first reason is that the income that artists receive varies from country to country when one’s streams are listened to, and also whether a user with a Free or Premium account listened to those streams also impacts that artist’s income.
• The second reason is that the payment system in the company works differently and they don’t calculate artist income for each stream.
  Stream shares or percentages are used for Spotify payments.

How Spotify Calculate Artist Income

Spotify does not calculate artist income based on the number of streams, rather it calculates it based on the percentage of that artist streams compared to all the streams on Spotify, and the artists will be paid two to three months after their songs are streamed.

As an example, if the number of streams on platform in a day was 1000 streams, and if one artist has 10 streams on that day, he will earn one per cent of company revenue on that day.

However, you should remember that Spotify initially decreased its revenue by 20 per cent for taxes and overheads.
Following that, 30 per cent of the remaining money goes for Spotify profit, and 70% of it will be shared among right-holders and artists.

According to the percentage of the music stream that represents the artist’s music, Spotify divides the money among the artists and rights-holders.

Consequently, we cannot give you a precise number for each stream, but an estimate for artist revenue is approximately 4 USD for every 10,000 streams.

How to Use Streaming Royalty Calculator

You can use the SRC site to estimate the revenue of artists from different kinds of streams apps like Apple, Spotify, Tidal by entering the number of streams an artist has.

For that you should follow these steps:
1- Go to the SRC website. and choose Spotify in the Streaming service part.

2- Insert the number of artist streams that you want to calculate his income from them. here we inserted 1000, now you can estimate the income of the artist by these amount of stream.

3- Click on the “CALCULATE” key to see the income.

Promote Your Music on Spotify

Through my searching about Spotify for artists, I became surprised with the fact that there are over 200 million Spotify users around the world which makes this platform one of the best artists’ opportunities to promote their music.

After searching about using Spotify as an artist, promoting music via Spotify became one of my interesting subjects to search and talk about it with my artist friend. As I understood, Spotify has some plans for artists to promote their music on Spotify.

The first thing I found is that artists can write their biography, descriptions about their music, and change their images on their profile on Spotify which in my opinion, gives the artists the opportunity to promote their music really easy.

Another option available for artists in Spotify is the listener statistics. I personally think that this feature can be really useful for promoting music on Spotify.

You can analyze the listener stats and then make your decision about your approach for your music promotion on Spotify.

One of the other options to promote a song on Spotify is pitching it to Spotify’s playlists editors. Also, you can share your Spotify profile on different social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to let your fans and friends find your music on Spotify.

I think my artist friend will follow this method to promote her music on Spotify.

3 Tips and Tricks to Get More Spotify Streams

As I was searching about Spotify for Artists and its features, I found out that getting streams is an essential matter. The starting point for counting the streams on Spotify is to be streamed for more than thirty seconds.

It means that if you have released a song and it is streamed for more than 30 seconds, Spotify starts counting your streams. If you have more than one song on Spotify, you will also get total streams beside each of your tracks.

There are two kinds of streaming on Spotify, offline and online. The online stream comes into effect of the counting immediately, and the offline streaming will be counted as soon as the user goes online on Spotify.

As I understood from my searching through the web, there are some tips and tricks for getting more streams on Spotify that I will share with you the most effective ones here:

1. Make your playlist: By creating your own playlist on Spotify, your presence among the users will be increased. The more your presence increases, the more your streams will be.
2. Create your brand image: If you are looking for more streams, you need to work on your brand, not only on Spotify, but in other social media platforms. If you have an especial image, and share it on social media, people will use it as your identification and your streams will increase.
3. Share your Spotify link on social network: Social media platforms are really helpful to make a link with your fans, and also find new fans. When you share your Spotify link on different social media platforms, actually you are increasing the chance of getting more streams, so…why are you waiting? Start now!

Use Canvas on Spotify to Be More Creative

Spotify has added a new feature called Canvas which lets the artists show their creativeness. Canvas is a short and looping video that you can add to your tracks on Spotify. When a user plays your track, instead of an image, the looping video will be shown on their screen.

As a Spotify user, I should be honest, the tracks that have this Canvas feature excite me and make me listen to the track. I mean this feature can help the artists to get more fans and streams on Spotify. I have searched about the Canvas feature on Spotify and I am going to share some of them with you, I hope it helps you to improve your streams on Spotify.

Canvas can be only a 3 to 8 seconds looping video so forget about syncing it with the lyrics of your track. Also, if you make your Canvas clip out of too many rapid cuts, it will be challenging to understand it. So, keep your Canvas video simple and creative.

Creativity is the key point in making Canvas videos. If you can tell the whole story of your song in a 3-8 second Canvas clip, your fans and streams probably will increase. 

There is just a gist explanation of the Canvas feature on Spotify. If you want to learn more about this amazing feature I recommend you visit the Spotify Canvas page. You can learn and start making your Canvas there.

Conclusion
