An active Curator Network increases the quality and quantity of music submissions you receive. This article outlines practical steps to attract the right artists and keep your network engaged.
1. Keep Your Playlist Boosted
Boosting your playlist is required for visibility and for artists to request access. Without a Boost, your playlist will not appear in Feed or Explore, and your Curator Network will be inactive.
Tip: Stay consistent. Keep at least one playlist boosted at all times to maintain visibility.
2. Use Accurate Tags
When creating your playlist, make sure to select the correct genre and mood tags. This helps attract artists whose music fits your sound.
Tip: Avoid tagging multiple unrelated genres. Be specific to build a curated network that stays relevant.
3. Write a Clear Description
Your playlist caption should describe the sound, vibe, or purpose of the playlist. This helps artists quickly understand what you’re looking for.
Example:
“Hard-hitting underground hip-hop updated weekly” is better than “cool music.”
4. Accept Requests Strategically
Review artist requests carefully and only accept those who match your playlist’s sound. Accepting the right artists will lead to better submissions and fewer skips.
Tip: Build slowly with the right people instead of accepting every request.
5. Engage With Submissions
Respond to music you like. Save tracks, follow the artist, or message them if applicable. Active engagement leads to long-term connections and higher-quality submissions.
6. Keep Your Profile Updated
Your avatar, bio, and links give artists a reason to take you seriously. A complete and professional profile builds trust and increases request volume.
7. Use Multiple Playlists
If you curate more than one genre or mood, create separate playlists with accurate tagging. This helps segment your network and allows artists to target the most relevant playlist when submitting.
8. Stay Consistent
The more often you boost, update, and engage, the more visible your playlist becomes. Consistency leads to growth and more organic network activity over time.
