Very nicely done, Greg. Many thanks!

Have you tried getting your songs added to popular lists on Spotify?

 

Were you successful?  How did you do it?  

 

Have you used One Submit? Not endorsing, just curious.

is this data real rather than a Spotify-inflated marketing smokescreen? (Is it independently audited?)

I'm not completely sure, but these numbers, I think are by Spotify. 

 

Spotify launched its Loud & Clear website in March 2021

[How many artists are earning enough to live from Spotify and other streaming services?]

I think most, probably have  additional income source(s) probably even as the primary income.  Did you work with a studio as a session musician?

money has always come from having multiple sources of income.

I know it's a pain in the a**, but I've always been a big proponent of merchandise for artists and bands (start small) as an additional income source.  Especially now, with such inexpensive availability of the music.  I surely have purchased a lot of favorite bands/artists t-shirts, decals, pictures/artwork, probably mouse pads and socks, too. Haha.

I agree with what you say about stats, but it's also about how statements are framed.

Oh yes, I completely agree.  I could have included several articles of analysis that used or highlighted the numbers in other ways bringing out different perspectives.  It might be fun to add those links in here.  

 

I'm not completely sure, but these numbers, I think are by Spotify. 

 

Living on Spotify, numbers for most of those receiving payments, not very likely and including other streaming services may get someone alittle closer but still would be a reach.

Hi Peggy. Thanks for that.

 

As mentioned recently to John, BLOG activity unfortunately isn't reflected in the Community Forum.  I was only notified of this Blog post due to the '@ gregb' tag in the text.

 

Until broader community notification is addressed in future site redevelopments perhaps you could re-post in the Forum's "Videos and Images" topic to raise the Channel profile beyond us 20 or so creators.

 

I have great appreciation for all your behind-the-scenes work.

 

Greg

Thanks for the reminder.  I'll post up a topic in the music lounge.

That's fantastic, John.   Have you had a chance to  spend some time playing around? What do you think? Did you create any good tracks or get some good direction?  Where's your next song going to head?
