How to Put Your Music on Spotify for Free?

In today’s digital age, musicians have more opportunities than ever before to get their music heard by a global audience. Two of the most popular platforms for emerging artists are TikTok and Spotify. Promoting your music on these platforms can massively increase your fanbase and revenue. In this guide, we’ll cover how to release your new song on TikTok and how to put your music on Spotify for free.

Why TikTok is Essential for New Songs

TikTok has revolutionized the way people discover music. If you’re an artist looking to launch a new song, TikTok is a platform you can't ignore. The app’s algorithm is designed to showcase trending sounds and songs, making it an excellent platform for viral marketing.

New Song Promotion on TikTok

Steps to Release a New Song on TikTok

  • Create a TikTok Account: This might seem obvious, but you’d be surprised how many artists try to promote their music on TikTok without creating an account first. Set up your profile and make sure it represents your brand.
  • Select a Catchy Clip: Choose a catchy clip from your new song. Usually, the chorus or the hook works best. This segment will be used in TikTok’s Sound Library.
  • Upload Your Sound: Use SoundOn to distribute your music. Not only will SoundOn help you get your music on TikTok, but it can also distribute your music to other digital streaming platforms.
  • Create Engaging Content: Create fun and engaging videos using your own song. The more you engage with your audience, the more likely your song is to go viral.
  • Collaborate with Influencers: Partner with TikTok influencers who can help boost your song’s visibility. A single viral video by a popular influencer can take your track to new heights.

How to Put Your Music on Spotify for Free

Spotify is another essential platform for any musician. While there are various music distribution services out there, many of them charge a fee. However, it is possible to get your music on Spotify for free. Here’s how you can do it:
