There are a huge selection of independent artists and most of us need to focus on a very important factor: gaining new fans! Yes, even more than money, we are in need of people to hear us and tell their friends about the mind-blowing new band they discovered. Getting our music placed on Spotify is really a critical step in this technique.
Unless you've been living on Cloud 9, you've heard about Spotify and its own "freemium" service. You've also heard how Spotify has taken the social network by storm. Each time one of my friends listens to a song, it arises on my Spotify, Facebook, Twitter, and whatever other social accounts I have; ex: "Hey! klicks kaufen joined Spotify and paid attention to Weasel... " You get the idea.
So despite the fact that the amount of cash you make per stream (per play) is less than a penny, the exposure potential is really worth it. And fortunately for indie artists like yourself, it's pretty an easy task to get your music onto Spotify.
