If you’re an independent artist, then you know that getting put on a Spotify playlist (whether editorial, algorithmic, or third-party) can feel like an obstacle course at times!
→ Big playlist owners are the new gatekeepers in the music industry. Being put on a good playlist can lead to tremendous growth.
Anyone can make playlists nowadays, including music labels, brands, influencers, artists, your uncle, etc. Platforms like Submithub, Groover, Playlistpush, and more were created with the purpose of linking artists and labels to playlists curators.
→ If you’ve ever tried using one of these platforms to get your song on a playlist, then you know you’d better not get your hopes up because you’ll probably be told “no” a lot and lose some of your hard-earned money! 💸
That happened to me way too many times 🥲 which is why I decided to take full control and create my own playlists. This way, I can promote my songs 24/7, avoid rejection from playlist creators, and promote other talented artists. It also helped me earn more than $800 a month!
This process allows me to invest all the money I earn into my own music. Most importantly, it made me realize that music curation is a REAL business!
Wanna do the same? Let’s get into it. ↓
Before telling you all my secrets, allow me to briefly introduce myself! My name is Pauline Mancini. I’m a singer, songwriter, composer, and music producer. I’ve been making music for over 10 years and have founded my own production company, Oneself Records, where I sell Sample Packs and help independent artists advance their careers so that they can make a living off their music! 🔥
I used to be somewhat naive, thinking I could only make a living from music if I’d signed with a music label. In fact, I signed with a big American label in 2019!
However, I came to find that I no longer had control over my music or when and where I could release songs. What’s more, I was left in the dark about the royalties my music was generating. I parted ways with them and never received a penny in royalties. Not the best experience!
