Many artists are trying to find some secret hacks to get more Spotify plays and instant success. That's, of course, unrealistic. Still, some tactics can ensure your music reaches many more people. Keep in mind that these tips are more valuable if you create a piece of really great music, at least as good as the other ones out there.

Claim a ‘Spotify for Artists’ Profile

If you want to maximize this platform's benefit, you should claim your Spotify profile via 'Spotify for Artists.' So, you will be allowed to customize your page with photos, bio, or upcoming concerts. 'Spotify for Artists' also gives you access to a wide range of tools that would be unavailable otherwise.

If you let your followers know how to find your music on Spotify, it can have a huge impact on your plays as well. Fortunately, the platform has many tools for artists and fans to share music with social media. For example, 'Share to Instagram Stories' allows you to create an Instagram story with cover art from your playlist or music.

Create Your Own Playlists

Making your own playlists will help you build up the following step by step. It is also a great possibility to interact with your current audience, giving them something to share with their friends. You can make playlists of music that you like or songs related to your style, etc.
