My Spotify release strategy that got me 100,000 streams by getting on Spotify's Fresh Finds Playlist
Independent musicians need to start using Spotify! Not as a way to make a quick buck off of your streams, but as a growth platform to spread the reach of your music to find new fans.
One of the best ways to do this (but definitely not the only way) is by getting your music on Spotify Playlists!
Now, who am I? My name is Ryan Waczek I and been developing artist brands since 2016 with Lion Bold Records. My artists have been streamed for over 1 Million minutes on Spotify in 2018 alone, and now I specialize in creating monetization streams for musicians looking to create a full-time income from their music.
When I talk about monetization, I'm talking about making an actual income from your music-and here is the honest truth-you will never really make that much money from Streaming. Sorry!
Spotify is much better used as a GROWTH PLATFORM, not a source of income.

I put these practices to work for myself. Visit my own personal Spotify profile to view my real-time progress, I only started releasing music in 2020:

Oh and stream my songs if you want to support. Very thankful for you guys, let me know what you think of my songs! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so much!
Indie Music Academy that’s nice how you have it set up
open.spotify.com/playlist/6Vyo61bAN54cjmrSMm4QFK?si=3UXkBub_Tu6AXI0m1QLrhQ
My brain hurts
Like my new playlist on spotify open.spotify.com/playlist/4it7InVRmQv2vJ3SYyuGMD?si=4OEPLes5Rpq00vcFMAUBpg
Finally, an intro that doesn't blow my ears of my head
The benefits of being an audio engineer :)
😂 I might need to change mine after reading this 🤣🤣🤣
@@IndieMusicAcademy can u link the song please
Right
Man, it really gets you thinking, these overnight popstars probably weren't overnight eh? They had a lot of work and planning going into their craft beforehand and they just had to wait for the right time
This couldn't be more true, well said!
It can take a whole lifetime to become an overnight success :)
1:28 I paused too check the comments. Notice how he brags about the "100k listeners". But!
It says "April 4th | 7 listeners".... So, how exactly does an audience grow if it's dropping to near nothing a few months later?
its facts search up numbfriend
Love this bro, it’s all a game of chess, we all have the same pieces (most of us) just some people make the right moves at the right time and now how to set it up
What people should be doing is creating a community arround your music. Make local playlists, example name it ''boston hip hop'', adding only rappers from boston. That way you'll be able to connect with fans in real life, create buzz where you live selling merchandise and connect with other musicians from your area and get that nice solid music local culture actually helping everyone.
this is genius right here
@@stokeboifanboi That is actually a great idea
Wow this is helpful bro💯😍
Perfectly put. So many artists out there still chasing labels and that magical contract. Great video, and nutritional food for thought. Thank you.
As someone who's only just begun releasing music to Spotify, this definitely gave me quite a few eye openers! Thank you very much IMA
i'm getting into artist management and have been watching videos and listening to podcasts about this topic for weeks now. this was easily one of the best. thank you.
Thanks a million!
THIS IS SOME QUALITY CONTENT THANK YOU MAN, LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING THIS GAME PLAN FOR MY FUTURE RELEASES
please continue the job you're doing it is
very much needed.
ONE LOVE FROM HUEY GANJAHHH
Thanks a lot @Ryan for putting this online! Very helpful and some new insights!
Thanks for the great info, just started managing a band here in Perth, Australia. Looking forward to learning more from your other videos
Great tips man, I always forget about the business side behind Spotify/music in general and this was quite illuminating. Keep it up!
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
That's a problem if a team at Spotify is deciding certain users get priority over others, essentially selecting the "tastemakers." I say this b/c it's often a very limited & not very diverse group of people...... I can see a lot of music getting pushed aside.
Your voice is awesome. Thanks for the tips man, much appreciated! 🙏
I'd like to add as well, a lot of people have a hard time approaching blogs because they're overambitious, don't have cross support for the release or go to wide. Radio and content creators are desperate for quality content, if your release is genuinely good, someone wants to promote it. But if you're releasing your first ever hip hop single, don't approach guitar player magazine. Find local blogs, regional music critics with active followings, offer them an exchange, say you'll let them release your material (that suits their platform and demographic) exclusively and that as you promote the single across platform for the first day/week you'll share their release article so they get click through the more successful your release.
The other thing is cross support. When I was living and working with musicians in Ireland the number one thing that music media loved was that you were Irish (especially if you had roots in traditional irish or folk music) and were ACTIVE on the irish music scene! Easily done right! When you're approaching blogs, have a release venue/plan so that when they are saying you've got this new single out they can also advertise a hot new gig in town in a popular venue. This is harder with Covid, but in Ireland it was a surefire way to tick the boxes with blogs and irish radio on some level. You might think, why would they want to advertise your gig? But if you have planned a good locsl gig, with known local support acts, a few early ticket sales (20 tickets presold for 100capacity venue is a GOOD number! Even if you know it's just your mates) and bit of simple marketing (poster, facebook event, a link to the venue's event callender) it actually makes them look good because they're the blog/radio station with their finger right on the pulse!
Thanks man. I spent so many years trying to get a write up and more or less getting nowhere. That is for the tips
You're very welcome my man!

Thanks for watching!
Thanks!! I'm working on the promotion for my first EP (i'm still recording it, but I'm already looking for info about releasing strategies, how should I proceed... because it's my first EP, I don't have already a established fan-base but, trying to make things the best I can from the beginning should give me a base for the next releases!)... This video helped a lot, putting into perspective how can I work outside Spotify to feed it.
Hey man, what I tell artists to do in your situation is to get a MailChimp account and try to get 100 friends, family members, classmates, neighbors, ANYONE, on you email list.
You'll have to do this manually. Text them, go door to door, whatever you have to do and PRACTICE communicating and sharing your story in a mass-communication setting.
Then you'll have a little fan army to do whatever you need them to do for you :)
@@IndieMusicAcademy nice.. I started telling people individually about it... creating something expectations about it...
But I think this mailing solution is something strange in Brazil. People don't use e-mail like a regular communication tool.. it's something more cooperative or specific (I.e. I buy a flight ticket and get on the e-mail the boarding pass). Instant messaging apps and social media are more common communication tools... I think I can work out something like that on WhatsApp. Thanks for the tip!!
@@rockonileva Totally man, wherever you can keep a list and then communicate for free. The concept will work all the same! You got it my man!
@@IndieMusicAcademyAHH I have a question. I'll release the EP and I'm planning to release a vídeo for each song (It'll be a short film, made with local filmmakers, and divided in 4 sections, one for each song). I was thinking about releasing the album on streaming platforms and at the same time a lyric vídeo of one of the songs (to promote the release), and then, on a weekly (or bi-weekly) basis I'll release the 4 vídeos. (so I'll keep posting things for a month or two after the release).
BUT someone asked me: Why not releasing the vídeos before the EP, to build up the momentum for it. It makes sense.. but At the time of the EP full release, people would have already listened the songs. Releasing later, people would have somewhere to go after the vídeo is over. If I release the vídeos later, I can direct people to listen to the álbum, to my spotify, youtube or instagram pages.
Which one of those do you think is the best way to go? And You'd prefer to release the vídeos weekly or bi-weekly?
So useful to know for my future releases!!
So glad!!
Thankyou! I’m trying to build up my fans! I went from 10 fans to 27 which was a lot for me as only releasing my music a couple days ago! I’m trying to grow my streams / fans now
heck yeah! That’s huge!

@@musqitonebeats2129 how
Love this! Thanks for the tips!
You're so welcome!
I love that intro art/video editing
Thank you! I appreciate you noticing :)
I don't know about the blogs thing cause I have a couple of very close friends that NEVER released a song before and Spotify has put them on very big playlists and that boosted them crazy. But the songs were very unique so yeah, I'm not sure how it happened.
This is awesome information! Thanks for making this video 🙏🏽
this is great thank you!
DUDE! The sound you use in your notification pop-up has had me looking around my apartment for the last hour trying to figure out what that noise was! It has a lot of low freq in it and makes my sub sound like someone is banging on a door!
Melodic Cacophony dude, OMG that is so funny!!! Sorry about that I’ll have to throw a high pass filter on 😂
😂😂😂😂
Hey cool stuff. I haven't had much luck with this yet but I will keep on going for a while and see if your tricks effect my channel and Spotify . Thanks for the inspiration
underrated vid, good work fam
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the love. Congrats on the 60 new subs this month! Keep it up!
This isn't your default face and you know it.
lmao
This was awesome! Thank you sir.
Those overnight popstars haven't done their thing overnight, that's quite obvious. There have bin often even several years of hard work and practice. The song-making process usually proceeds in such a way that the song is worked on little by little over time, and the truth is also that the makers of the hit songs also make a lot of really bad songs that are just never ever released. But when you do your thing carefully and properly finished and just know how to do the right moves at the right time and you got lille bit of luck, you of course may become a big name in the business really fast.
Very helpful - thank you!
subscribed. this is gold
great insights ryan!!
Thank you! and thanks for leaving a note :)
Thanks for the informative video!
appreciate the insight! 🙏
There are MANY ways to grow your fanbase-this is just one of them! How important is growing your Spotify following compared to Instagram? Let me know below which is more important to you?
very useful! Thanks!
Love this bro! Hope we get to work in the future
Likewise!

Very useful video, thank you!
You're very welcome!

Thx for the info.....really digging more into the business with my band so, it's been really helpful. Question: Does this plan apply for any genre? I mean we play Metal ( A bit commercial ) but Still...any piece of advice on it? Thx a lot
Waczek? Your family from Poland? Good video. I start hip-hop music on Spotify.
Excellent, Thanks
Does the tune have to be our first before reaching out or can you send an mp3 a couple weeks before release?
Love it / Thanks so much
No problem 😊 If you want a free workshop on growing fan base further, our community has found immense value in our free workshop we provide here: www.indiemusicacademy.com/workshop
High quality content
Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Ryan,
Great video with vital information for myself and growing artist.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you're getting value from this channel!
This is dope!!
This was helpful info
Great info! 🙂🙂🙂
Do you recommend playlist push and playlist fever to get on the playlist?
I did and my numbers jumped up from like 8 monthly to 6000. It took about a month 1/2.
Thanks bro. Information you provided in extremely important. I'm from india and I'm an English language rapper. I'm ready with my song but one thing has actually embroiled me in so much confusion.
How can I send my song to blogs before my song is uploaded to spotify by cdbaby?
Dope information. 🙏
Very useful info. thanks
Hey , thanks for the content.
Can I claim my Spotify artist profile if my debut song is just uploaded but not released? In order to reach the playlists..
Thnx for sharing
Hi, really liking this video and have subscribed! Thanks - could you advise me on where to host articles about the band and our songs if we don't have a website? We have a Facebook page, Soundcloud & Instagram but would you suggest a blog page? Thanks again! Jack - The Celadors
Thanks man!
You are welcome!
Sick intro bumper
That for the record song in the intro is fire .
Thanks man! I love that track too
Please what streaming site do you recommend for a new artist, and what smm service do you recommend for quicker streams.
Thank you 😉
Sound Good!
Thank u!!!
Great video, yea im still learning about all of this. Lol, I released a song and pushed it on Spotify. Im at over 10k, i noticed 8K of that happened the second week adter the release, i noticed that 3%of the playlist were spotify algorithms which the week prior had been 0%
Remya Tempest wow very good! So the second week you must have triggered an algorithmic playlist! Do you know which one you got in?
@@IndieMusicAcademy Actually now that I look at it, the Spotify playlist (Algorithm) is called "Release Radar". However the majority of the plays are from TikTok Dances 2020. I used a company called daimoon media, the lowest package placement on different spotify playlists. But that was supose to end at 5k over a unknown period of time.
@@remyatempest6700 Wow, your track must be really good for it to catch fire like that. Send me a link! I'd love to hear it :)
@@IndieMusicAcademy Thank you! Yea here's the Link open.spotify.com/album/1bScyFlRLYengUKCSeUKGS
@@remyatempest6700 Great track. Has a natural feel to it.
Thankyou!
Watching this after i got featured on the Fresh Find Playlist! Sheesh!
Be blessed man of God ryn
That intro song was hard asf
What do I search for to find that intro track?
You should check out Burstimo. They are way more helpful and they don't use clickbait to then sell you stuff.
I just started making music. How can i get others to actually listen?
Interesting vid
Thanks man
You're very welcome!
And you made
.02 cents good for you .
Okay so I have like a lot of blogs written about my new song and have been trying to do the facebook ads and still only have like 1k streams... I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
Great video
1:28 I paused too check the comments. Notice how he brags about the "100k listeners". But!
It says "April 4th | 7 listeners".... So, how exactly does an audience grow if it's dropping to near nothing a few months later?
Good advice, but it's just copy/paste advice from Adam Ivy to try and market us something else. You do not have my trust
If you only post one song, that's what the results will look like. I posted a song on NCS, it just hit 1 million plays on spotify, however my monthly listeners has steadily declined greatly since I haven't posted since then (7 months maybe). Itll fluctuate but I'm sure if we just keep posting tunes at a much more consistent rate than I have that more people will continue to listen and come back to all of your previous tunes along side your new releases.
yeah he's totally clickbaity. says nothing new in this video, we all know press and first 24 hours is important, that's not a "strategy"
@@Mynerva now bro i have to ask you... how the fucking fuck you got your demo listened/signed?? i'm try to enter NCS from a long time
