Submitting to User-Curated Playlists
Once you’ve identified playlists featuring similar music to yours, the next step is to find the contact information of the curator. Use the playlist description, artist profiles, and other social media platforms to find the curator’s contact information.
Benefits of personalized messages include a better chance of getting your track featured on the playlist. Additionally, it shows the curator you took the time to make a connection.
Reach out to curators before, on, or immediately after the release day. Keep the message short, engaging, and include a brief description of yourself, the track, and a link. Don’t forget to politely ask for playlist feature.
Tips for Getting Playlisted
Once you’ve connected with the playlist curators, there are several things you can do to increase your chances of getting your track featured.
When it comes to playlist outreach strategies, it’s important to have a professional presence and to cast a wide net. Writing effective messages that are brief and to the point is key, as is maintaining a great visual image with a clean, professional banner photo and album art.
Networking with curators and creating your own playlist are also important. Investing in Instagram ads to promote your playlist can help boost its reach.
Networking and Playlist Building
Networking and building your own playlists are key components of getting your music featured in Spotify playlists. Building connections with in-house Spotify curators and other playlist curators can be beneficial, as well as reaching out to them through personalized email pitches. To promote your playlist, invest in Instagram ads and offer shoutouts, and look for opportunities to swap with other curators.
Start your own playlist in your genre, update it regularly with new music, and place your own music at the top. Investing the time and effort in networking and playlist building will be worth it in the long run.
