Anyone else making money streaming with Spotify?

I'm interested in talking to anyone else who earns money from streaming their songs on Spotify. I've been doing it a couple of years now and making a nice chunk of change with it. Obviously we don't need to discuss specific numbers or details, but it's always good to meet other people involved with the same thing as you are.

Can you explain how you stream your songs? Like how to create that many Spotify accounts and not let them look like bots?

Do you have your own software for it or did you bought one?

Do you make your music yourself or are you buying it somewhere?

I am also starting with this. Uploaded 3 songs on distrokid but my first upload got denied. unfortunately, the don't write exactly what the problem was so I change some things and hope now the album will go trough.
Thanks

Quite often it's not the track itself but the artwork (song cover) that makes it obvious you're not a "real" artist. You need to make the cover high quality and make sure you have the track name and artist name on there to make it look legit, just like a real artist would.

A few thousand a month, so a decent side income, or enough to live on depending on where you live and your lifestyle. I also sell streams but that's a separate income.



I have custom software I coded. The accounts are a mix of premium and free, all tied to various socks5 proxies.

I don't make the music myself, I have someone I buy tracks from. They're just EDM beats without lyrics. I can help you out with advice if you get rejected again.

Basically, you need to either create your own music or buy some songs from someone, and sign up to a distributor who is the middleman between you and Spotify. You upload your songs to Spotify through your distributor, and once they're live on Spotify, start sending streams to them. Spotify pay your distributor monthly (with a roughly 2 month delay) and your distributor pays you.
