I'm wanting to setup a stream farm but am struggling to understand a couple of things.

I understand I'll need proxies. Now, to make the streams look legit I want 80% mobile proxies and 20% residential proxies as the stats show about 75% of legit streams are from mobile devices.

But my question is, do I need dedicated proxies and setup accounts to stream on and each of those will keep a dedicated static IP address? Or should I use rotating proxies? How does that work?

Because I'm thinking if I just had 50 dedicated static proxies that stream my music (with randomness implemented) across a bunch of artist accounts, will that raise suspicion?

Based on what I read, mobile IP addresses rotate constantly so using mobile proxies is good because if I have some accounts setup to like songs and mimic human behavior then it doesn't matter if that accounts IP rotates since thats normal behavior for a mobile device's IP anyway.

Does this sound right?
 
I don't even see how this is profitable.

SoundCloud for example runs streams at 128 kbps. If I wanted 4000 streams a day at an average of 50 seconds per song that would be 3.2 GB of usage per day. Assuming 50% of my accounts use a mobile proxy pool that rotates IPs that would already cost me too much money based on proxies I've found online....

I don't understand how people are doing this profitably.

Create your own mobile proxy and you can connect up too 5-10 devices at once

Feel free to try out streaming but honestly it got so difficult nowadays that I would not really suggest to do it. Especially as someone who just starts completly new.

It was a free money glitch a couple years ago. Nowadays its a pretty risky business because you need such an expensive setup to run it.

Few of my thoughts:

- Antidetect browser to manage distributor accounts + payment methods like paypal
- Many distributor accounts to spread the amount of streams you generate (20$ each)
- Expensive residential/mobile proxies
- A lot of apple music/Spotify subsciptions
- Servers with an android emulator or mobile farms to run spotify (Bots generate desktop streams which dont work at all anymore)
- Some of your releases will get deleted randomly before you got your first payout
- 3 months waiting until you get your first money

In the past you just uploaded 30 second tracks, got yourself some servers without proxies + spotify accounts and streamed your music 24/7 without interruptions. Low cost high income. Sadly these days are over.

Not saying that it doesnt work anymore. It does for sure! Just the hustle to make money with it isnt worth it anymore imho.

this is the route I've been thinking of going.
just don't know the best sim card to use, I saw a thread on this forum of how to make your own proxies using a raspberry pi which I can do
the upfront cost will be expensive but ultimately cheaper in the long run once I make a return

I can handle most of that, prolly going to make my own proxies. Also, I'll be streaming on soundcloud since its easier than the other platforms
 
There's a lot of variables to consider to create a working farm/setup and optimize it for profitability. Also, obviously distributor plays a big role as well.

I would keep away from Apple Music unless you are experienced. Spotify is easer but have still become more difficult the last couple years. Soundcloud is not bad, however, getting continuous changes so you need to ensure your 'setup' can be easily altered to fit the criteria.
 
Mobile proxies are good, but if your going the phone route you also need to consider the IMEI, that is registered and logged when an account is created, so if you run through many accounts the algos can flag your IMEI and your setup can stop producing good streams that count.

I read iOS prevents IMEI and many other phone parameters that Android leaks from being given out to apps so I'll likely prioritize iOS devices.

I'm a newbie who is thinking about doing this business. If you don't think this is effective then what other ideas do you have? I've also heard that SoundCloud is the best streaming site to use for this.
