I sent an mp3 and they took care of the rest, so I can’t walk you through the campaign creation process like I normally would. Last time I mentioned that CEO George Goodrich offered me a redo, which we did in March with my song “In Motion”. My playlist barely met the minimum requirement of 400 followers and I was a total newb, so my payout was relatively low. It’s determined by your reputation score as a curator, which hinges on a variety of factors, like leaving helpful reviews, how long you’ve been on the platform, and how active your playlists are. I saw plenty of improvements on the curator end, until I decided that screening songs at $0.75 a pop wasn’t worth my time, especially since so few were a good fit for my retro synth playlist. They monitor all accounts for suspicious activity, fake or inactive followers, multiple accounts, and other violations. Since then they’ve gotten their act together.

As a result, my five playlist adds were of negligible to questionable value, and I didn’t see my Spotify numbers budge. When I first reviewed the service in November, they were experiencing a massive influx of curators, and weren’t able to screen them all properly.

The price increases with genre popularity, or by adding multiple genres, providing more placement opportunities. Pop, hip hop, and indie rock are their main genres, which doesn’t bode well for a retro synth nerd like yours truly, but more on that later. Playlist Push promises to help independent artists get their music on Spotify playlists, and gives playlist curators a way to monetize their music discovery. As of this writing, they have 242 curators across 60 genres with a total of 8 million followers.Ĭampaigns start at $185 and run for two weeks.
