One of the best platforms for any music artist to showcase his/her music is
spotify. To have an exciting prospect as a musician can't be anything more than that to be listed on spotify
as an artist represented by a track on a playlist for the first time. It's
actually a healthy feel in itself which pushes their confidence further as an
artist. But here one has to think that not to get too excited for it as the
above represents an extension of more effort to make it better. Taking care of
extra things after being playlisted can be beneficial for you in long run. Have
a look at the following things.
(I) So now
your track got playlisted you should congratulate yourself for your effort. But
here you need to spread out this fact i.e. promote this fact. Share it on
social media post with your track and mention the goodness about your music.
Not to forget to share it first on spotify.
(II) Check
out the top charts in spotify and measure the way they are being labeled in the
playlists. The more your track gets playlisted, the more it will be heard and
will increase your rank in the charts. That's where advertisement speaks a lot.
Awareness is key. If one person has playlisted your track
then chances are other will get feed about it and if they also felt good for
your music they even add your song to their list. So in this way you can create
a brand value as an artist resulting in topping the charts.
(III) Now
have an analysis of impacts of your track. How many times its been streamed,
cities with most popular listeners, total number of listeners. Checking these
details will ensure your future chances of getting success in your career,
like; you can sell your music to local stores out there, also you can send your
music to record labels. Record labels want to see your popularity before they
choose you for any gig. So have a complete checkout of your track.
(IV) There
must be a human for you to get your track playlisted, because he/she likes your
music and he would have thought that this track deserves to be in my playlist.
So its your moral duty to respect and thankful to him/her for track selection.
Also its highly likely to have an interaction between two of you. So its best
for you to take an action in favour of his/her effort and develop a connection
with the respective person. Building connections with these people will take
your career higher.
(V) There
is also a concern for the payment of royalty which takes time because it all
depends on your streaming popularity. An artist should always be looking
forward i.e. Converting things to higher and higher. Even if you generate good
amount of revenue from streaming, you should harvest those earnings in other
things, specially in advertisement. Create ads and spread the awareness as much
as possible and keep the momentum flow on. Singles don't last too long these
days as everyone is competing for a place to be in someone's playlist. Promote
it upto the fullest until the release of second track. It itself is a challenge
to be in this industry to keep the momentum and to drive the spirit of hard
work you need passion for your work.
Keep producing music and be passionate for
your work. Time is important.
