How to get followers?

[Adro]

So after being a spotify member for a year or so, and the option to follow users, artists, bands was added I was wondering if there is a way to gain more followers, it's easy for me to follow my friends and my favourite artists but not so easy to get followers. Anyone who know's any ways to gain followers please comment in this forum, thankyou.

I'd suggest sharing your playlists where you can. Spread the love. Once people realise you've got good taste, they'll be following in no time 🙂

[Adro]

Thanks Sam I'll give that a go, just share playlists songs and whatever on facebook, tumblr, twitter etc..?

[Sam]

Wherever you'd like, Adro. You can also right click on your playlists and 'Copy HTTP Link', then paste it anywhere you'd like.

Share your playlists and.. make sure they're good I suppose!

I have a follower, but I have no idea who it is? I don't share my playlists (so far as I know!?)

How do you find out who it is?

Hey there,

There is no way to see folowers in detail right now.

I'm sorry!

[coalwoman]

Please ignore the above!   Was messing around with various options and found the followers playlists etc. 

Still don't know who it is though !

Hi!

Anyone can create their own favourite lista but perhaps you should create lists with a specific subject/theme?

You could create list with music from films? That's only one example...

@coalwoman has really hit the nail on the head. Sure you can ask your friends or family to follow you. But to gain lots of followers you really need to make a playlist which stands out, having a specific trending theme is always good.

Sorry. Mentioned the wrong person. I meant @Krellus

Hey Megan and Mr. Pain, I just followed you two. I've never followed anyone or posted on here as I only know Spotify through my music being distributed to it lol I don't even know how to use it, but if you guys can follow me too that would be great 🙂  Jaiz
