Spotify and Spotify Pre-Saves
Hi. In this video, we're gonna talk a little bit about Spotify and Spotify pres saves. Now a Spotify Presa is where your fans can presa your song before it's released on Spotify. So it's much like a preorder, like a preorder on itunes or a preorder on any product uh where you can buy it before you receive it. You know, prior to the day that it becomes available to the public. Now, in order for you to set up pres saves for your release, what you need to do is get the Spotify Ur I from your distributor and then take that code and put it into a piece of software that's gonna allow you to create a link where your fans can presa the release. Now, the D SPS such as uh CD Baby and Distro Kid, they kind of have their own features for this. So like Distro Kid has something called hyper follow, which is quite good where your fans can presa your release but also get an email like the moment that it comes out so they can click through and listen to the release on, on day one, anything like that th...
at gets you traction on the release date can be really, really useful to you and your campaign and just basically like your success on Spotify as a whole. You can do this with any distributor though and get the UR I and then paste it into a program such as Tonen or Smart URL or any of the other presa Softwares that are available on the market. There's always new ones coming out, so there's probably gonna be a slew of new ones shortly after I finish recording this video ones I've used are Tonen dot IO and that's quite a good one allows you to create these Presa links and post them on social media or email them to your fans and collect email addresses and unlock various things. But what happens in general is that they presa the song or presa the album and then it turns up in their library on the day of release, which is really cool and will help you get your traction. Another feature I've seen in a few of them as well is that the user, the fan can actually presa a song onto an existing playlist in their library, which is another really, really cool thing because if they listen to a, a certain playlist every single day and they add it to that playlist, they're gonna consume your music immediately passively, which is great. So, yeah, something to be aware of Spotify, pre saves and pre orders, um in general and that can really, really help you build out a solid release campaign. Hope that's useful and I'll see you in the next video.
