  • @BulletRapMusic
    @BulletRapMusic 3 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    Appreciate the shout out Pain!🙏
    Definitely keep uploading at least a beat every 10 days (I suggest already pre uploading them at once for the First, the 10th, and the 20th and then submitting them in the Spotify for artists manager [you can only have one submission at the time and I found out that 10 days is the perfect length])
    just keep being consistent, the Spotify algorithm really starts to work for you with things like suggesting you in radio etc
    Good luck to everybody!!🔥

      Super helpful, I always found it tedious and annoying that we can’t submit more than 1 track for Spotify playlisting but 10 days seems spot on!
      I’ve been uploading every Sunday since DEC20, it’s an easy way to promote your beats - especially with all the IG/TikTok integrations

    I started uploading bang on 2 years ago this month to Spotify, now hitting roughly 65k monthly listeners and 250k+ streams a month just from beats 🤟🏼 definitely a must if you’re a producer relying on an income from music and you want to diversify yourself

    I plan on producing a full length album, ill rap on about 25% of the songs and the rest is gonna be songs by other artists but produced by me, all on my album. Ill even pay for verses from rappers, and royalties split and everything. I got the idea from DJ Khaled, he dropped an album but he doesnt rap. Im gonna do the same. Its gonna be dope.

    Just uploaded my first on distro. 🙏🏼❤️👊🏼 Do you need to put a release date in the future to give you time to pitch to Spotify Playlist? Since they don't let you pitch on your stuff that's already released. One thing I would say is that I have a huge portfolio of library music that's all registered with content id and A LOT of people use my tracks without buying a license. You might be losing some income if you don't register your stuff. I'm with identifyy and I leave a contact in the description so we can arrange to clear any YT claims within 24 hours.

    I've uploaded 2 albums to spotify in the last year and i was really happy with the results. I definitely did a lot of marketing though, ads on facebook/instagram helped. The idea has to be really cohesive though, for an instrumental ALBUM especially. I did tons of visuals and attention grabbing promo and i found it really worked! but consistency is definitely the main thing. This is 100% inspiring me to upload to spotify more. Starting today.
