The importance of finding and sticking to a strong genre and branding.

Use deeplinks to open spotify from your landing page (toneden)

If your using facebook ads, and toneden, like me youll notice that the landing page takes you to the website rather than the spotify app. This is pretty annoying. This is a way to get the landing page to open to the spotify app direct, using a free/cheap cost effective method called deeplinking. link to URL GENIUS - https://app.urlgeni.us [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2NNVVg2d0R3dnJfMXBZMTRwWWJnRmsyM0hMZ3xBQ3Jtc0tsNTFLdHN5aXpNdkRtS1dBQ19iRS1CcmwyV3QySDQ0SkN1M0ZUdWJWdGU0V1EwSFVqS3J5VXBpVjZkc3lieGJRcERfMlhqQTZJd0gzamhSUXY1QUtsTkxCOGYzVXpJTjZvMTgyQVhRa0ZmZ3ZITTBTMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.urlgeni.us%2F&stzid=UgyqF3NqiAihHXpaGGN4AaABAg]  link to TONEDEN - https://www.toneden.io [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbko3ZDFiWFNnc2JQRXZ6Yi1aX0QwMzJpWlBVZ3xBQ3Jtc0traG1iMmwzTndVMUo5X1BZU054NC1US2xOTzV4SkFEa1BKNUxNMm1CZmtaRVpVS2hlTDZJcS1GcHE5RlBNZWlTTkRMSE9mdDJ2WUNEZzFjdjJMZDBhcGVlLTF0UkVENUZBYWpnOFIxcHdOV3Z3dzdmTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.toneden.io%2F&stzid=UgyqF3NqiAihHXpaGGN4AaABAg]  link to my music! https://spoti.fi/3C5Uxh4 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbm5oOXBUdXZmd0w5cjZHY0FJeEUtaDFLa1Fyd3xBQ3Jtc0tuQVB0SVZOWlBESS00eGpfMW1MTFl0Ny00ejRhWm9WampzUnpqVGpQbFRGNGF5RkxVUTllU3lRcHExOGJsdlp0aGRmZW03bVNVTFExNTlxRDBzeVJsSUFHVTJBaEs2OWxFTTFSa1FUVlJZY1NiYjRzSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fspoti.fi%2F3C5Uxh4&stzid=UgyqF3NqiAihHXpaGGN4AaABAg]

The importance of finding and sticking to a strong genre and branding.

I have two artist monikers , "V.X.D" and "chicago city", it takes a lot of time to manage, create music for two artists and promote both, so I suggest sticking to the strongest genre with strong branding, focus attention that way. I also discuss the need to cross pollinate your work, so if you promote the artist or track, to also create and promote a playlist, keeping all things linked and opening up opportunities

The spotify algorithm, release radar, discover weekly etc

This episode is about what I have learned about the Spotify algorithm, and hopefully how to use it to your advantage as an artist. Some of the topics I cover are... - Spotify user generated playlists  - How Algorithmic Playlists work - How Release Radar works - How Discover Weekly works - Radio , what is it, be careful! - How I got a "Fans also like" section, my regrets and lessons learned - Spotify Popularity Score, what is it and how to use it to improve algorithmic support.

I am a music producer and this is my first podcast

This is the first podcast, where I introduce myself "V.X.D", my production journey, and anything else related to music production, including marketing your music on Spotify. i talk a bit about the connection you can have with other producers, and the pitfalls of "follow to follow".  This is my first podcast, so I dont know what Im doing :) I hope you enjoy it anyway! PS - I had to mark this down as "explicit" as there are a couple of throw away swear words, truly sorry for that !
