I make about 500 monthly from Spotify, due to being on editorial playlists and then in turn getting streams from algorithmic playlists. My advice is to release as much music as possible! I released once a month ish for a year before I pitched to editors, I got on a playlist and then had 8 over a year and half (with monthly releases). Once I bumped up to once a week releases, I’ve had huge success with playlists. Also, fill out your profile as much as possible to make your profile as valuable for the consumer as possible (full bio, pics, user playlists, big discography). And finally, hone in on what playlists you want to be on. Make your music ‘fit in’ while at the same time bringing something to the table that the other songs don’t. I consider myself very lucky to get as many editorial playlist placements as I have (25 since May 2022), and my strategy to maximize that success has been releasing as much music as possible. I don’t think this works for every artist, but it has helped me big time, since I’m able to out work artists in my genre (jazz), who don’t usually release too often Answer from UncDpresents on reddit.com
