Here’s why Spotify isn’t my favorite for this. Most people don’t have Spotify premium, so if you’re trying to promote it organically (read: sending the link to friends) it’s a roll of the dice as to whether or not it will actually play the song you’re sharing or just whatever song the Almighty Algorithm wants them to hear.
Spotify's internal promo is so good I get tons of streams without serious marketing (after marketing my butt off for years) so I'm dedicating more marketing attention to other DSPs
Absolutely not everybody should pull all their music off spotify and band together and fund the building of an artist owned marketplace seize the means of production.
Thoughts on bandcamp? I've made a few hundred from tapes, cds, and digital sales while having less than 3k streams on the platform. I've gotten about 12k streams from spotifiy, apple, etc and made about $50 off it. I'm in a pretty niche genre so maybe that's part of it?
Thank you for the tips.
Idk about that. Selling stuff to fans pans out better. Spotify doesn't profit themselves, don't expect an ROI from them.

Pareto principle! 80/20 motherfuckers
Disagree they screw artist…..
But also the one that pays the least.
So Spotify is for growing the fanbase rather than get paid?
Would it be dependant on where your niche/target audience reside though?
I heard most young generations rock soundcloud for example?
Facts
😢on Spotify i got 600 , on Amazon music i got 4000 listeners every month ..
But Apple Music significantly pays more
bullshit

monopoly of streaming is the worst thing for artists.
Monopoly is never good
Yeah and now Spotify is proposing they will demonetize any artists who gets less than 1000 streams how do you feel about that Thoughts? ❤
