There is only so much a content creator can do on any given platform to get seen. Due to algorithms put in place (which is much needed), many up and coming artists and creators find it difficult to get the numbers that catch the attention of the algorithm. Paid services from third party websites provide a solution to this by organically growing your numbers on these platforms. You can buy Spotify Monthly Listeners <\/a>for instant results. By doing so, the content creator gets the algorithm to work for him\/her rather than against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Collaborate with other artists<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You cannot get to the top without other people. People who\nrealize this reality, attain success quicker than those who stubbornly choose\nto believe otherwise. Collaboration is key in the creative field. Podcasts tend\nto go big when the creator can bring on guests who have a fresh and interesting\nperspective to an otherwise dull topic. The music industry has seen some of its\nbig hits come from collaborations between artists that fans didn\u2019t know they\nneeded. Some of the most streamed artists\non Spotify<\/a> of all time collaborate\nregularly. This goes to show how far collaboration can take you on a platform\nlike Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no doubt that social media plays a huge role in gaining\nexposure as an artist. With millions of users on any given social media\nplatform, artists need to capitalize on this to get their content out there.\nPlatforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and Telegram can play a\nhuge role in breaking or making an artist. Staying active on these platforms\nwhile releasing content can help connect with existing fans and reaching out to\npotential listeners who aren\u2019t fans\u2026yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Get in touch with Record Labels<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Record labels have a huge part to play in artists making it big.\nAs a new artist, this might not be the easiest tip on the list, but it is by\nfar one of the most \u201ctried and tested\u201d ways to increase numbers like monthly\nlisteners and podcast plays. An artist that has a record label backing it can\nhave much more control on platforms that depend highly on them. Get in touch\nwith record labels, try to get your content promoted, and possibly get signed\nto them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Create your playlist<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creating your playlist is one way you can increase your numbers\nby yourself with help from no one but yourself. A popular playlist will get\nsaved multiple times and played even more. This can snowball into becoming\nHUGE, and this can have a positive effect on a content creator\u2019s exposure to Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Working with your distributor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an artist, your distributor plays a huge role in determining\nhow much exposure you have. A bad distributor can be very detrimental to your\ngrowth as an artist. Work with your distributor and get your music out there as\nmuch as possible. Change your distributor if you feel that the relationship\nseems to have less impact. As a growing artist\/ content creator, you cannot let\nfeelings get the better of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Build relationships with the curators on Spotify<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Building a relationship with a curator is not the first thing\nthat comes to mind when thinking about ways to increase Spotify monthly\nlisteners and podcast plays count. Surprisingly, this is effective and most\noften than not, this is attainable, and this can have a really good impact on\nhow much coverage you get on platforms like Spotify.

10. Make use of emails<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As old fashioned as this might seem, emails can still convert\nrecipients into potential listeners and fans. A dedicated and regular email\nnewsletter can build a very loyal fan base. This, in turn, expands the\npotential for advertising through word of mouth. Be genuine and DO NOT SPAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
