The simple 4-step process for identifying and contacting playlisters.
A single song placement on a big Spotify playlist can drive huge streaming activity, earn you significant revenue, and change your career.

Fair warning: I’m not going to win any awards for cinematography — it’s a lo-fi webcam video — but hey, you’re not here for the stunning visuals anyway.
