SPOTIFY & APPLE MUSIC
Stream the Song(s) From a Playlist
Try streaming the songs/albums using a playlist. Make a playlist and add the songs multiple times, and make sure you add a few other songs from the same/different artist. Use playlists that the streaming services have made such as the ‘A-List Pop’ on Apple Music or ‘Today’s Top Hits’ on Spotify to stream the songs as well. If the artist has made a playlist, use that, too.
iTunes
Don’t Gift a Song
iTunes has an option where you can gift songs or albums to friends or family members, and though this may seem like a great way to promote the song/album, gifted songs do not count towards the charts.
Buy The Song/Album
If you can, try and buy the album or song on iTunes! Sales count higher towards some charts and help with RIAA certification.
YOUTUBE
Find the Official Channel
Make sure you’re watching the video from the artist’s official channel. They will be verified by YouTube and often end in VEVO.
Log In, Log Out, Log In, Log Out
Repeatedly log out of YouTube, clear your cookies/cache, log back in, search for the video, and play it manually. This not only increases views but also increases search volume which could help boost SEO. Afterall, YouTube is just Google for videos.
Use Multiple Devices to Stream
Stream from one account on your computer and another from your phone. Or your mom’s phone. Or your teacher’s laptop. Or your best friend’s tablet.
Keep YouTube’s Volume Up
Always keep the YouTube volume on; it’s okay to mute the actual device.
Interact with the Video
Interact with the video by liking and commenting, but do not spam. Pause, play, and rewind every so often so you do not appear to be a bot.
FINAL TAKEAWAYS
◇Act like a human, not a bot; interact with the streaming platform as you normally would
◇Do not spam comments
◇Do not overly repeat tracks
◇Do not listen on mute
◇Plug headphones in but don’t put them in your ears if you need a listening break
◇Streams from paid accounts count more
◇Purchases (physical albums, iTunes) are still important and count toward RIAA certifications
