Spotify Playlist Submission Strategy

Learn how to set up your playlist campaign strategy when using DailyPlaylists!

DailyPlaylists have come a long way since 2018! When we first started, we had one submission type, 3 gate settings and a contest tool!

Now, looking forward to 2024, we have a whole ecosystem of tools, submission types and strategies to implement and aid you in your Spotify playlist submission campaigns. Whether you are promoting your priority/latest release, or wanting to give your whole Spotify catalogue a boost, we have built many tools to help with this.

Without necessarily explaining it, we have created a system which is adaptable, flexible and easy to use for all types of Spotify playlisting strategies.

In this article, we’ll go ahead and explain how we believe you can utilise Standard, Premium and Automatic Submissions together, to get the most out of the DailyPlaylists feature set!




Premium Submissions



Premium Submission credits give you access to our Premium Curator community - a community of highly vetted curators who have undergone checks into engagement, growth, branding and curation style to qualify to become a Premium Curator.

Premium credits cost money unlike our Standard Submissions and should be used with high levels of due diligence and planning to make sure you are submitting to the right curators for your music. This can be done through listening to the playlists the curator has, checking out the types of artists they include and seeing if the latest placements fit with your music.

We advise you to use Premium credits on your priority releases, tracks that you’re looking for the quickest impact and to get milestones on DSPs to help with your pitching and updates to likes of managements, labels, bookers, press and radio.

Curators have 7 days to review Premium submissions, else the credit is returned back to the submitter. Meaning that Premium, you get quicker replies from the highest quality of curators and will always get a response from the credits.




Automatic Submissions



Automatic Submissions are part of our Artist Pro subscription plan. The submission type does exactly as suggested, where subscribing members can set up an Automatic Campaign, and the DailyPlaylists algorithm handles the submission process for you!

We created this submission type to give artists flexibility while being able to save time and money during the submission process. We do this through submitting 10 submissions a day via this tool, up to 300 extra submissions a month!

It also saves a whole lot of time. On average it saves 14 mins a day of going through the submission process from start to finish - finding playlists, listening, deciding if it's the right one for your song and then eventually spending your Standard credits.

The Automatic Submission tool is perfect for submitting your back catalogue and working your entire discography. The reason being is that the tool runs completely in the background, meaning that you can be constantly working your releases while focusing in on the tracks that need priority via the Premium submissions.




⁠Standard Submissions



To give a quick introduction, Standard Submissions are the free submissions on DailyPlaylists, all of the DailyPlaylists community get 20 standard credits to spend per week and can choose from over 18,000 playlists - which makes them the perfect submission type to use flexibly.

The best way to use the Standard Submissions is to fit in with whatever your decided strategy is. For example, if you have a priority release, you can use the 20 free Standard submissions that week to submit to even more Spotify playlists. If you are wanting to give your catalogue a boost, you can promote multiple songs each week by dividing up the 20 free credits and submit to multiple types of playlists!


To summarise it, this is how we see the following:



-Premium Submissions: Priority releases / promotion

-Automatic Submissions: Great for promoting catalogue in the background

-Standard Submissions: Flexible use to adapt to your main strategy.
