Pre-Save and Smart Links
With MIN.ECO Distribution, Smart Links are automatically created for each release as they become available in stores. These Smart Links provide direct access to an artist's latest tracks across various streaming services. You are encouraged to share these links on your social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, as well as other online profiles.
Playlist Promotion
MIN.ECO Distribution actively submits your tracks to editorial curators who oversee organic playlists on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and other digital service providers (DSPs). To ensure your music is considered, it is essential to submit your pitching requests at least three weeks prior to your release date.
Given the high volume of playlist submissions that DSP editorial curators receive daily, submitting your request early significantly increases the likelihood of your music being noticed.
It's important to remember that only one track can be pitched per release. This policy is in place to manage the influx of submissions, allowing editorial teams to focus on each artist fairly. Therefore, if you are launching an album or EP, it is crucial to choose the track that has the best potential to attract the attention of playlist curators.
When preparing to pitch your music for playlists, there are several important aspects to keep in mind. Firstly, it is essential to note that you can only submit tracks that have not yet been released. Once your music is uploaded to MIN.ECO and distributed to digital service providers (DSPs), it will show up in the "upcoming releases" section of your Spotify for Artists profile. It is important to remember that you cannot pitch songs from compilations or tracks where you are a featured artist; pitches are exclusively for songs where you are the primary artist.

To maximize your chances of a successful pitch, it is advisable to upload your music to MIN.ECO well in advance.
Updating your artist DSP profile is crucial in today's music streaming landscape, where credibility on platforms like Spotify plays a significant role. A polished and current profile not only enhances your legitimacy as an artist but also showcases your professionalism. One key component of this presentation is an effective artist biography.
A well-crafted bio serves as an essential tool for introducing yourself to potential listeners and industry professionals. It provides valuable insights into your music, your creative inspirations, and the reasons behind your artistic choices. When done right, an artist bio fosters a deeper connection between you and your audience, allowing them to appreciate your work on a more personal level.
Moreover, regularly refreshing your bio with new influences and experiences helps keep your audience engaged. By sharing updates about what drives you and your artistic journey, you offer fans a clearer view of your identity as an artist. This not only enriches their understanding of your music but also strengthens their bond with you and your art.
