 Ways to Get More Followers

  1. Use Pre-save campaigns that include auto-follow
    • Platforms like ToneDen, Feature.fm, and Show.co allow this
    • Most fans don’t mind clicking “Pre-save” if the CTA is strong
  2. Add a direct follow link
    • Use this format:
      https://open.spotify.com/artist/YOUR_ARTIST_ID?si=xyz&nd=1
      Add to:
      • Linktree
      • Instagram bio
      • YouTube descriptions
      • Email footers
  3. Create a fan CTA
  4. Promote new drops with urgency
  5. Ask on streaming platforms
    • Use  “Tap the ♥ and follow for more ”
    • Drop it subtly in the audio or end of a song
  6. Incentivize
    • Run a small contest:


 Pro Tips

  • Pair the follow ask with a song preview or emotional story
  • Thank followers in public posts—it builds community
  • Keep asking over time, not just during launch week


 Avoid These Mistakes

  • Only promoting Spotify streams, not follows
  • Linking to Spotify with no clear CTA (“click this” = low conversion)
  • Making your link hard to find (burying it in long captions or menus)


Followers are your foundation.
Build them intentionally—and Spotify will notice.
