STEP-BY-STEP SPOTIFY ANALYTICS STRATEGY:
1. Connect your distributor - DistroKid links to Spotify for Artists automatically when you release
2. Open the Audience tab and find your top cities - your next song should target one of these cities with local references
3. Study Related Artists - your listeners already like their sound, now give them more of it with your twist
4. Mine your Playlists tab - find the person who added your song and build a relationship
5. Track your Stream Sources - algorithmic means good engagement, profile means fans, search means strong titles
6. Watch your Save Rate - above 5% is excellent, under 2% means your hook needs work
7. Check Completion Rate - under 60% means your song is too long or loses energy
PRO TIPS:
Your first release is a probe, not a product - collect data and adjust
