Key Goals to Increase Monthly Listeners
- Attract new listeners through smart promotion.
- Keep current listeners engaged with consistent releases.
- Turn passive listeners into followers and fans for long-term growth.
Action Plan
1. Release Music Consistently
- Aim to release a new track every 4–6 weeks.
- Each release gives you a fresh opportunity to appear on playlists, promote, and reach new listeners.
2. Pitch Every New Release to Editorial Playlists
- Use Spotify for Artists to pitch at least 7 days before the release date.
- Even if you don’t land a big playlist, you still get a spot in Release Radar for your followers.
3. Run Targeted Marketing Campaigns
- Use Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok ads with smart links that lead to Spotify.
- Create content that encourages users to check out your music (behind-the-scenes, snippets, fan reactions).
4. Use Playlists to Pull in New Ears
- Submit to user-generated playlists in your genre.
- Build and share your own playlist that includes your track + other similar artists.
5. Collaborate with Other Artists
- Joint releases let you share monthly listeners and exposure.
- Choose artists with similar or slightly larger audiences.
6. Engage Your Existing Audience
- Ask followers to stream and share your new track.
- Highlight fan-created content, use shout-outs, and reward engagement.
Retention is Just as Important
To keep listeners coming back:
- Make sure your profile is visually appealing and up-to-date.
- Use features like Canvas videos and Artist Pick to capture attention.
- Add links to your profile in every bio across social media.
Monthly Listener Myth:
High monthly listeners ≠ fanbase.
You want to convert listeners into followers and superfans. Monthly listeners fluctuate — followers don’t.
