How it works

Simple, fair, honest

1

Apply with your playlist

Share your Spotify playlist URL, genre focus and a short bio. We manually vet every applicant: real followers (500+), active curation, clear genre identity.

2

Receive matched submissions

Once approved, we route artist submissions in your genre to you. Listen, decide. Accept what fits, reject the rest with a short note. You stay in full control of what goes on your playlist.

3

Earn from real performance

For accepted tracks that go on your playlist, we track stream performance via Spotify for Artists. You get paid based on the actual streams your placements generate. Quality curators with engaged audiences earn more.

Why we built it this way

Pay for real value

Most curator networks pay a flat fee per submission. That rewards quantity over quality and attracts spam playlists. We do the opposite: you only earn when the music you pick actually performs. It keeps the network clean and the artists happy.

  • ✔Quality over volume. Pick tracks your audience actually wants, get rewarded for it.
  • ✔Transparent tracking. All stream data comes from Spotify for Artists, the official source.
  • ✔No bots, no spam playlists. Bot-driven playlists generate zero real streams, so they earn zero. The model filters them out automatically.
  • ✔Long-tail income. A track that keeps streaming keeps paying you for months, not just one flat review fee.

Specific payout rates and tier structure are shared with you after we review and approve your application. We adjust rates as the network grows, but they always scale with how much real value you bring to artists.

Requirements

Who we approve

  • ✔500+ real Spotify followers
  • ✔Playlist updated within last 30 days
  • ✔Clear genre focus (House, UK Garage, Piano, Ambient, etc.)
  • ✔Custom Spotify profile name (no user_xxxxx)
  • ✔Genuine engagement (saves and recent playlist activity)
  • ✔Commitment to honest, professional feedback

We do not accept bot-driven playlists, fake follower accounts, or playlists that auto-add every submission. Your stats stay public to artists once approved: acceptance rate, response time, average stream lift. Acceptance rates above 60% combined with low stream performance trigger an automatic review.

FAQ

Common questions

How exactly are earnings calculated?
Your earnings are tied to the streams our submissions generate from your playlist, tracked via Spotify for Artists. The exact rate per stream depends on your tier and is shared with you once your application is approved. Higher engagement playlists earn higher rates.
When do I get paid?
Once your earnings reach €25, we pay out via SEPA bank transfer in the first week of the next month. Payouts are free within the EU. We'll move to automated payouts via Stripe Connect once volume justifies it.
What if a submission isn't a fit for my playlist?
Reject it with a short honest note (1 sentence is fine). The artist gets feedback. You only earn from tracks you actually accept and place on your playlist, so reject anything that doesn't fit your sound. That's the point.
How do you track which streams come from my playlist?
Spotify for Artists provides per-playlist stream attribution for every track. We pull this data monthly for accepted tracks and calculate your share based on the streams your specific playlist generated. All data is auditable on your own Spotify for Artists dashboard.
Are there fees to apply or stay listed?
No. Application is free. There are no monthly fees. You only earn money. You never pay us anything.
What about Spotify's "no paid placement" policy?
Artists pay us for our review and feedback service, not for guaranteed placement. Whether the track ends up on your playlist is your independent curatorial decision. Curator earnings are based on real organic streams, not on paid promotion. This is a clean, performance-aligned model that respects all platform terms.
