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.

@Gidyin So true. Only follow one if its because 1) you knows the person, 2) tasty sounds. Not because it, in a remote and deserted universe entitles the followed persona to follow back. Personally I'd abstain from such since I don't follow people I don't know in real life...

Chillout Summer Lounge (Study, Sleep, Relax) follow my playlist (if you're into chilled music and like the songs in my playlist) and I might follow you back, given that I like the songs in your playlists. Happy listening :)

If you use forums, OP, stick a link to a playlist in your signature; may get a few clicks that way. Or maybe post a link on twitter with an @mention of an artist on there and hope you get a retweet off them.

Thought I'd share my playlist here:  Bropourri.  It's an ongoing hodgepodge of current tracks I generally find likeable.  If you give it a follow I promise I will follow back!  🙂

Want to hear one of the best AC internet channels on the web?

I've deliberately programmed this playlist to sound better than any commercial music radio station aimed at adults in the UK for myself and anyone else who is equally fed up of commercial radio.  Designed for 4G listening on the move.

3333 tracks to listen online and offline. 80s, 90s, 00s and now, music positioned midway between Heart and JACK FM but I promise it sounds better.

Would love more listeners as I have been working on this project ever since 2009 and in fact ever since the days of Launchcast.

SKYWAVE | UK | Love More Music. © 1996 - 2014. The Best Classic Pop & Soft Rock.

 Also another completely separate project of mine if anyone reading likes CCM, which sounds just as good:

^ SOARING RADIO ^ Uplifting Music 24/7.

If you need fast followers and listeners on your playlist, you can do Advertising Campaign in Google AdWords for AdSense.

If you do it right, you get results in return.
