Why Spotify Botfarm
- Thread starter GdUp
- Start date
For farm-streaming professionals in particular, a number of issues arise.
Youtube Music pays the fastest, along with Apple Music (after a month and a half, depending on your distributor), but it's extremely hard to set up a system, and the problem is that even if you listen to real artists over and over again, these artists will only be paid for 2 or 3 listens, and the rest goes into the garbage can, which is extremely frustrating; but that's also why it's one of the DSPs with the highest royalty payment rate.
Deezer's problem is that, in addition to only paying after 4 months, the royalty rate per stream is very low, and that's not very interesting.
SoundCloud has just introduced a Pool Royalties system like Spotify, and we're currently testing it.
Spotify has the advantage of paying out faster than the rest of the DSP's (excluding Apple and YT), and the rates of return are acceptable. Nevertheless, there are some changes in store for the new year, so we'll see what happens.
I hope I've answered your question.

do you mind if do too?
No problem
I'll outline the different music streaming platforms (DSPs) by the speed of their payments. Before starting, it's important to note that payment timelines largely depend on the distributor you use. While distributors generally receive royalties around the same time (depending on their contract with the DSPs), the major difference lies in when they disburse these payments to the end users. Some distributors make payments as soon as the funds are available, while others might wait 30 or 45 days.
It's also crucial to understand that DSP payments are not always made on consistent dates. They can sometimes be early or delayed. The following information is therefore an estimation to give you a general idea.

- YouTube and Apple Music: These two platforms tend to make payments the quickest, usually within a 2-month timeframe.
- Spotify: Payments are generally made within a 3-month period.
- Amazon, Tidal, and SoundCloud: Payments are made between 3 to 4 months. For SoundCloud, the timeframe might be shorter if your distributor has a favorable contract with them.

It also depends on distributor of course. Also worth mention Pandora - they make payments usually within a 2-month timeframe as well.

Try Distrokid, Tunecore, Landr maybe but do not go high in the beginning of the streaming. New accounts I suppose are being checked if there is any unusual streaming behaviour.

Search for the payout rates per country in the google - there are some decent articles about that. But generally speaking - wealthier countries pay more (and usually subscription cost is significantly higher).
Also depends if you have credit cards for that countries.

Is there a service where you can buy credit cards of different countries?
I advise you to buy Apple gift cards, but anyway there are between 1 and 3 months of free subscriptions, but it can be blown up.

use Revolut. Also Wise can give you 3 VCC. There are also paid services like bunq, maybe also worth trying.
