Is Spotify Worth it?

To be clear there are many reasons why artists should seek to use Spotify and expand on it. Unlike Apple and other streaming services, Spotify shows your audience to labels and can help you get signed depending on the size of listeners. Something few discuss is what labels and professionals look for when they are hiring or signing new performers. The first thing they will look for is the size of your listening base and the second is where most of your listeners are located. You see now what makes Spotify so special?

Beyond the scope of labels and businesses looking for performers, Spotify can be used to make playlists for your music and others which will lead back to you if done creatively. Spotify itself is a search engine and like all search engines can be used to bring traffic right to you. Whether you're a beginner or someone whose already developed a listening base this is something you need to take advantage of. Developing your name is crucial if you want people to find you.

While promoting Spotify might yield fewer fruits in the beginning it's not something that won't pay off with hard work. You see, you can only buy a song once but you can listen to a song over and over again. Things always seem most bleak when results aren't leaving such a good impression however imagine a few thousand listeners a day with your music in their personal playlist. Now, that's far more being made off one song than you can get by selling it that one time. Let me just say this, yes you could promote apple and sell your product off iTunes. This would be more immediate but won't net you a proper passive income.

Your best bet is to take advantage of both fields and to do this id pull out ads for your album while promoting your Spotify personally. In this fashion, you're getting direct cash to keep the album promotion going and building up your passive income from Spotify. Over time this will set you up for larger releases and allow you to slowly turn your music into the business you need it to me. One thing people often overlook is creating a funnel of income that grabs traffic from many sources as opposed to having one direct line of cash flow. Creating a funnel is necessary and you will need to start paying attention to the brand your representing with your image and creating products your audience can buy from you.

Music isn't just an art, it's a business!
