Spotify isn't the money-maker artists once hoped for—it’s a promo tool. While new artists need it for exposure, indie artists can use Spotify strategically by keeping singles on the platform while selling albums direct-to-consumer (D2C). This shift lets artists reclaim control, maximize revenue, and build deeper fan relationships. Want to future-proof your music business? Learn how to leverage both Spotify and D2C the right way in this video.

07:24 - What if I can’t build enough direct relationships with fans to make D2C viable?
08:51 - Here’s what you can do!
11:25 - Implementing a strategic D2C approach with Spotify.
