Submitting your music to curators on PlaylistFeed is an opportunity to get featured, but acceptance is not guaranteed. This guide outlines practical tips to help increase your chances of getting your track accepted.
1. Target the Right Playlists
Only submit to playlists that closely match your genre and sound. Curators reject most tracks simply because they don’t fit the playlist.
Do:
- Check the playlist’s title, caption, and tags
- Listen to 3–5 songs to understand the vibe
- Match your track’s genre, mood, and energy level
2. Keep Your Artist Profile Complete
Before submitting, make sure your PlaylistFeed profile includes:
- A profile picture
- A short bio
- A working Spotify link
- Any relevant socials or Smart Links
Curators are more likely to accept music from artists who appear legitimate and professional.
3. Submit Strong Tracks Only
Submit high-quality, finished tracks that sound ready for release. Avoid demos, rough mixes, or songs that haven’t performed well on other platforms.
Make sure your track:
- Is publicly available on Spotify
- Has good mixing and mastering
- Starts strong (first 10 seconds matter)
4. Personalize Your Message (If Available)
If the curator request form includes a message field, use it briefly and respectfully. Keep it short, direct, and relevant.
Example:
“Hi, this track matches the energy of your playlist. Would love to be considered.”
Avoid spammy copy-paste messages or unrelated comments.
5. Don’t Resubmit Too Quickly
If your track is skipped, take time to improve your targeting before trying again. Spamming curators with repeated submissions lowers your credibility.
6. Build Relationships
Follow curators, save their playlists, and engage with their content. If they see your name more than once in a positive context, they’re more likely to consider your music seriously.
7. Be Consistent
Submissions are part of a long-term strategy. Not every song will be accepted, but consistent quality and smart targeting lead to better results over time.
