Release Radar, editorial pitches, Marquee, Discovery Mode. Know exactly what to use and when.

Turn Spotify for Artists into a release machine: a profile that converts, a pitch editors can actually use, and a plan to grow from Release Radar to algorithmic playlists, with no bots and no scams.

What you will be able to do

  • Set up a Spotify profile that looks like a real artist: photos, bio, Artist Pick, Canvas and links.
  • Write and submit an editorial pitch on time, every release, so you land in your followers' Release Radar.
  • Read your audience stats and know which numbers actually move the algorithm.
  • Know exactly when Marquee, Showcase, Discovery Mode and Countdown Pages become available to you, and whether they're worth it.
  • Pitch independent curators the right way, and spot the paid-playlist scams that get songs removed.

Questions

How do I get it?

Right after checkout you get a download link on the thank-you page and by email. It's a PDF – opens on your phone, tablet or computer.

Is this only for the US?

No. It's written for producers in any country. Where rules differ (taxes, collecting societies, payouts) we say so and show a European example – and tell you where to check your own country.

Will it be out of date in a month?

Platforms change their rules. That's why every number has a date and a source link, and the guide shows you where to check the live rule before you pay or sign anything.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No – it's practical education. For contracts and taxes in your country, talk to a local lawyer or accountant. The guide tells you exactly what to ask them.
