How To Pitch To Spotify Playlists After Release: 7 Brilliant Ways

Let's be real - releasing a new song without a good playlist plan is like throwing a party but forgetting to invite people. You've put your all into your music, but if the right people aren't hearing it, what's the use? Don't stress though. We've all been in that spot confused and wondering why our latest hit isn't taking off on Spotify.

But here's the thing - it's not too late even if your song has been out for a while. And no, we're not suggesting you bribe the Spotify bigwigs with all your savings (though let's be honest, we've all thought about it). We're talking about real doable plans that won't empty your wallet or crush your spirit.

Say hello to Playlist IQ - your new ace in the hole for playlist pitching. Think of it as your own music industry expert, without the big consulting fees and weird fashion choices.

Think about this: You've got a smart music business expert by your side telling you playlist secrets . That's what Playlist IQ offers. It's like having special glasses to see through the Spotify world helping you find the playlists that could make your song a hit.

Want to figure out how playlists work? Let's jump in!

The era of random playlist pitching and hoping for success has ended. Playlist IQ gives you a precision tool to target your audience. You can search playlists by genre, number of followers, and user activity to find your ideal fit. This process resembles online dating for your tunes (and we guarantee it works better).

Here's a tip that'll make you sound like you know your stuff: Don't ignore those smaller playlists with high user engagement. They might lack millions of followers, but their listeners are passionate music fans who listen. At times, it's more effective to stand out in a niche group than to get swallowed up in a vast crowd, right?

We all know the drill - you're at your computer trying to whip up a cool-sounding email without seeming too eager. It's just like sending that killer message to someone you fancy, but here, you're hoping to land your tracks on a killer playlist.

Playlist IQ swings into action offering email drafts that make you seem like a seasoned pro. Picture messages so sharp they strike the perfect chord - whether you're going with the "Exclusive Sneak Peek" play or the "You Can't Miss This" tactic. It's like your own charming sidekick always knowing the perfect line to drop.

Okay, so here's the cool part. Playlist IQ lets you pinpoint playlists that are climbing the popularity ladder. It’s as if you have a magic orb showing you which playlists are gonna pop off (and I mean in the rad way, not like that sourdough experiment during lockdown you'd rather forget).

Just choose how you want your followers to grow each day, and bam – you land a bunch of playlists that are pulling in fans faster than those wild TikTok moves. These are the winners you wanna snag since they're spreading their vibe. Think of it as catching a lift on a spaceship soaring to the chart's summit, but without feeling queasy.

Those templates we mentioned earlier? They're not just there to make you look good (though they definitely do that too). They're packed with copywriting gold that'll have playlist curators hitting that "add" button faster than you can say "stream my track."

Play around with different styles and tones. Maybe the "Hidden Gem" approach works wonders for those indie folk playlists, while EDM curators go nuts for the "Next Big Thing" angle. It's all about finding what clicks with your target audience without sounding like a robot trying to pass the Turing test.

If you're balling with a Platinum or Diamond membership of Playlist IQ, you've got access to the holy grail: the Profit Indicator. This isn't about vanity metrics or bragging rights - we're talking cold, hard cash in your pocket (because let's face it, those vintage synths don't pay for themselves).

The Profit Indicator crunches the numbers and tells you which playlists are most likely to give you a return on your investment, even if there's a submission fee involved. No more throwing money into the void and hoping for the best - now you can make informed decisions about where to invest your hard-earned cash.

In the fast-paced world of music, time is money (and also the difference between catching a curator's ear and getting lost in their inbox). Playlist IQ's integrated email system lets you send pitches directly from the platform. No more juggling spreadsheets, email clients, and sticky notes covered in playlist names - it's all there in one neat package.

Keep tabs on responses, juggle multiple campaigns, and set follow-up reminders without breaking a sweat. It's like having a personal assistant dedicated to your playlist pitching success, minus the attitude and constant requests for a raise.

Last but not least, Playlist IQ turns you into a bona fide playlist pitching scientist. The analytics dashboard lets you track your success rates across different playlists, pitch styles, and even time periods.

Notice that your dreamy shoegaze tracks get more love when pitched on lazy Sunday afternoons? Or that playlists with 10,000-20,000 followers give you the best bang for your buck? These insights are pure gold, allowing you to fine-tune your strategy and maximize your chances of success.

Look, we get it - the music biz can be brutal. But with the right tools and a little elbow grease, you can cut through the noise and get your tracks the attention they deserve. Now go forth and conquer those playlists - and don't forget to thank us whenever you hit 1,000,000 monthly listeners!
