How I Use AI to Save Hours on My Music Marketing

I've barely slept the past few days because of what AI can do for music marketing right now. In this episode I show you how I use Claude to segment email lists, translate newsletters into any language, build a website, and handle the tasks most musicians never have time for.

Music Marketing, Playlists & Building Fans, Live From Vietnam w/ Jon Gilman (The Racket House)

A month ago, I met Jon from The Racket House in Vietnam, and while we were there, we recorded my first-ever live, in-person interview, with me as the guest on his show. We got into my whole story, from making music on a cracked copy of FL Studio at twelve to realizing I was a better marketer than musician, why I gave up on so many dreams to grow, and how getting scammed by a botted playlist is what led me to start More Than Streams. We also talked about the digital nomad life, how I use playlists to trigger the Spotify algorithm, why hyper specific ad targeting beats generic campaigns, and what it really takes to turn listeners into fans.

How to Get Verified on Spotify (Part 2)

Spotify's Verified badge has three requirements, and Part 1 covered the hardest one. In Part 2, I walk through what your profile needs to pass the authenticity check, including linked social accounts, concert dates, and why most artist bios give people no reason to follow. I also get into a release strategy GAYLE used to turn one song into seven separate releases and how to turn one video into a full week of content.

How to Get Verified on Spotify (Part 1)

Spotify rolled out a Verified badge this year, and it quietly sorted every artist into three groups whether they liked it or not. In Part 1, I break down the first thing the badge requires, ten thousand monthly active listeners, and why that number is completely different from the monthly listeners most musicians keep staring at. I also get into how saves and follows move you toward it, why playlists alone won't get you there, and how to build followers automatically with Action Pages.
