Discovery Mode

Discovery Mode

I was really surprised when I see this.

Seems like it was real when someone say above 30 PI would result in Spotify's Discovery Mode.

But I didn't meet their requirements... only 2 eligible, my monthly listeners around 6.2k now. Do I need to get one more song into 30 PI to qualify into this?

Below requirement I got it from Spotify website:

"If you have access, you'll find a Discovery Mode section in the  Campaigns tab in Spotify for Artists.

You may be eligible if your artist team meets all of these requirements:

  • You have at least 3 eligible songs
  • You have at least 25,000 monthly listeners. We’ve found that Discovery Mode works best with an audience of this size or above
  • You have an active Spotify for Artists team that’s registered in one of the countries below."

How to scale with slow-burn K-Indie genre of songs?

I looking for some advice on scaling. I don't make hyper-catchy, instant-hook music—it’s more of a slow burn.

By using Meta ads, I’ve managed to grow my project from single-digit streams to a consistent baseline. However, I feel like I've hit a hard ceiling unless I drastically increase my budget.

Currently, I’m spending about $200 USD/month (and have done so for the past 2 months, since 10 May). It brought me out of the zero-listener trench, but the momentum seems tightly tethered to the daily spend. The moment I look at scaling or even maintaining, it feels like I’m just going to burn through my bank account without building true compounding growth.

Will be appreciate if you can share your scaling experience.

What do you think about the chart?

Just wanna see if my songs are performing.

First time putting up meta-ads. I do know that different genre of songs, different retention rate.

Thank you in advance!
