Please dm meEmulators and phones, only Apple and with a very natural streaming behavior.
Edit: Before more detailed questions are coming, please respect that i am teaching this in a course as well and i wont and cant give up too much here. Also this is about OPs journey
My journey to 10k/month streaming music
- Thread starter djomar
- Start date
Updates :
September I hit a major streaming drop due to the quality of my songs on Apple Music. Those albums were taken down, totaling 400 songs and two distribution account bans
Still have 500+ to work with so that’s a plus
Apple Music is a hassle when removing the songs from libraries after takedowns so automating these tasks will help you more than you can imagine
Expecting a 50%-60% drop in royalties but I should still receive enough to continue my subscriptions and pay some bills… silver lining I guess
I spent the day uploading more music. I got about 100 songs submit it but this time around I need to upload 800 just so I can get my get back and prepare for scaling

Playing straight out of libary is not beeing careful unfortunately. Its important to mix it up!
@OP
great that you keep your head up! Keep it going!!
Yea there are things I can tighten up for sure , more stream sources … getting more artists … and uploading better quality music
It’s all apart of this game bro … I just gotta learn from my mistakes
Imagine this
During manual review , if they see a 100000 streams on a song that sounds like it was recorded on a mp3 player
Wouldn’t that seem suspicious

wtf! Of course it does to bypass quality control and make it look legit. Times of 30 second files with just silence in it are way over
I have been farming for a year. I make 10-13k a month. 3.2-3.4 million streams a month on spotify. Playlist with 2500 songs. Spotify/apple music/amazon music are the best dsp to use. You can monitor them in real time daily to get an estimate in real time. I get about 125k streams a day. Got abt 130 phones. Also apple music is good because it pays out in the first 30 days. Spotify takes 2 months. So whatever u stream in january, wont payout til march.

YouTube tends to underpay for pure stream farming unless you combine it with organic-looking engagement comments, likes, and real viewer retention. Amazon’s payout can be solid, but it’s stricter on detection. Focus on blending automation with genuine traffic signals rather than raw volume; that’s where consistency and safety come from.

yeah mate, we’ve been doing it for 5+ years through spotify too, but like you said, it basically became impossible to run about a year ago. spotify definitely tightened up on all that farming stuff.
we switched to apple music after that. It worked fine at first, but scaling was rough because of the proxy and mobile device costs.
after a while, we tested a few apple music services on smm panels and realized they all pull from the same provider anyway. kinda funny that the panel that got banned here for spotify stuff (you know which one “stre...mafia”) actually seems to have nailed the apple side.
so far so good though. We’ve been getting royalties for the last 4 months without issues. hope it keeps rolling like that.

I did not say you dont need security, but you dont need expensive proxies. I am running a 25K/month operation since 5 years and never used one; VPN only!
Do you know the times that apple reports its daily streams. I know they do it 3 times a day. But i cant get the times right. I know spotify does it at 1 pm EST daily.
