Not a Signed Artist? Not a problem
There are numerous independent artists and now we all should focus on a very important factor: gaining new fans! Yes, more than money, we want visitors to hear us and tell their friends regarding the mind-blowing new band they found. Getting our music placed on Spotify can be a critical help this method.
Unless you have been living on Cloud 9, you've probably heard of Spotify and its particular "freemium" service. You've also heard how Spotify has brought the social media by storm. Whenever one of my pals hears an audio lesson, it arises in my Spotify, Facebook, Twitter, and whatever other social accounts I've; ex: "Hey! Nicklas just joined Spotify and paid attention to Weasel... " You get the drift.
So although cost you're making per stream (per play) is under a penny, the exposure potential is well worth the while. And fortunately for indie artists like yourself, it's pretty an easy task to get a music onto Spotify.
At this time, you could be signed with a label. If so, your music could possibly be on Spotify already. If it isn't, call your rep and have if they've uploaded your music towards the service. Should they haven't and you also would like them too, give the order! (in the nice way). Also, make certain they give Spotify your press kit full of a bio, photos, contact details and anything else that creates you be noticeable. Not so difficult, right?!

If you are a unsigned artist, that's okay because there are plenty of methods to upload your own music without having a label. However, Spotify cannot negotiate along directly. Why not? I believe it's one of many stipulations with their agreement together with the majors. Though the option would be still fairly easy. You need to pick a distributor like Tunecore, CDBaby or DittoMusic. I've written overview of these distributors in order to save some time and keep rehearsing.
When you've created a forex account using a distributor or signed a label agreement, your own music will probably be uploaded onto Spotify within 4-6 weeks. But there is still work to be practiced, that leads us to:
romote your own music!
Spotify doesn't always receive your awesome press kit, so equally as a backup, create a profile at allmusic.com. Spotify will search for you there should they don't receive a bio.
Now that each of the tedious stuff is performed with, you need to enable your fans know Spotify is going to be sporting your tunes soon! Produce cool promo posts on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Produce a promo video for the YouTube channel. Just a sweet idea: write an audio lesson just for your Spotify release and connect it on your posts! Ex: "Can't wait to find out our fans on Spotify. We've recorded an audio lesson simply for you guys! Going to your Spotify account soon!" Fans will eat up!
Okay, there are a couple of tedious items to accomplish still. No site is complete anymore without clickable logos. As soon as your music is on Spotify, download the service's logo at iconfinder.com. Next, seek out your band profile on Spotify (several options can come up, including "Top Hit, Tracks, Playlists"... you wish to select the link under "Artist"). While hovering over your artist profile, right click and judge "Copy Spotify URI." Last, combine the URI with the Spotify logo by having it aimed at your website or blog sidewall by creating an "Image Widget."
Another hip promo you need to use for Spotify could be the "Spotify Play Button." This selection allows you to post songs to your website and blog. First, right click any song, album or playlist in Spotify you would like to promote and once again select "Copy Spotify URI."
For example, let's post this URI to your blog. Open up your blog, write something to your hungry fans in html mode: ("We know you want a sneak peak individuals upcoming album. Here's the first track for you! Share it using your friends!"). Next, post the url and give a salutation.
