How Artists Are Growing Spotify Playlists to Promote Music and Earn Money

Imagine if your Spotify playlist could grow your music and earn you money. John, an independent artist with over 12 million Spotify streams, shares how he’s doing it as a playlist curator.

Step 1: Create a Playlist That Earns Money
Make a popular playlist and earn through platforms like SubmitHub, where artists pay you for reviews. You can earn $50–$150 per song review, and the money can fund ads or promotion to grow your playlist and music.

Step 2: Use Your Playlist to Promote Your Music
As your playlist gets more followers, it becomes a strong promotion tool. John’s “Summerhouse 2024” playlist includes 50 tracks, 10 of which are his own. By placing his songs among popular ones, he gets more streams and long-term exposure.

Step 3: Grow Your Playlist with Ads
John uses Facebook and Instagram ads to grow his playlist. With Hypeddit’s tools, he quickly sets up campaigns to drive traffic. In one month, his playlist gained 256 followers, 290 new listeners, and over 1,000 streams on his songs—all for a $205 budget.

Step 4: Reach Monetization
Most platforms need 1,000 followers to start earning as a curator. With his playlist on autopilot, John is close to reaching this milestone, opening new ways to earn while growing his music.
