3. How to Pitch Your Song via Spotify for Artists

The pitching process is straightforward:

<ol> <li><strong>Upload via Distributor:</strong> Your track must first be uploaded to Spotify via your chosen distributor (e.g., DistroKid) with a release date at least 2 weeks in the future (to give you enough time).</li> <li><strong>Access Spotify for Artists:</strong> Once your distributor has delivered the track to Spotify, it will appear in your Spotify for Artists dashboard under the "Upcoming" section.</li> <li><strong>Find the Pitch Button:</strong> Click on the upcoming track. You will see a prominent button that says "Submit a song for playlist consideration" or "Pitch to our editors."</li> <li><strong>Fill Out the Form:</strong> This form includes details about your song (genre, mood, instruments, etc.) and an optional text box for a message to the Spotify editorial team.</li> <li><strong>Select Your Audience:</strong> Crucially, you will select demographic information that helps the Spotify team understand your target audience.</li> </ol>
