 Why Followers Matter

  • Direct access to fans: Your new music appears in their Release Radar.
  • Better algorithm reach: Spotify sees followers as signals of real engagement.
  • Improves playlist chances: A growing fanbase can help you land editorial and algorithmic placements.


 Proven Tactics to Get More Followers

1. Ask Everywhere, All the Time

  • Post on Instagram, TikTok, and X: “Follow me on Spotify to hear my next drop first.”
  • Add “Follow on Spotify” links in:
    • Your Linktree
    • YouTube video descriptions
    • Email signatures
    • Website / bio

2. Run a Pre-Save Campaign

  • When fans pre-save a track, they automatically follow you.
  • Use platforms like:
    • Hypeddit
    • ToneDen
    • Feature.fm

3. Promote Your Spotify Profile (Not Just Songs)

  • Link to your artist page — not just individual tracks.
  • Use Spotify’s embed tools to add your profile to blog posts or press features.

4. Use Paid Ads to Funnel Listeners to Your Profile

  • Run Instagram Story or TikTok ads with a call-to-action: “Follow me on Spotify.”
  • Focus on listeners in your genre with Spotify interest-based targeting.

5. Reward Engagement

  • Do giveaways for followers (e.g., “Follow me on Spotify and DM me a screenshot to enter!”).
  • Shout out fans who follow you or share your music.

6. Keep the Content Flowing

  • Drop new music regularly — every 4–8 weeks — to keep followers engaged.
  • Use “Artist Pick” to highlight recent or favorite tracks on your profile.


 Track Your Growth

Go to Spotify for Artists Audience Tab to see:

  • Follower count
  • Listener-to-follower conversion
  • Listener locations (great for geo-targeted promotion)


 Pro Tip

Don’t just chase numbers — build a community. People are more likely to follow artists they feel connected to. Share your story, interact with fans, and make it personal.
