How Can I Promote My Spotify Giveaway for Maximum Reach?

Put the giveaway link everywhere your listeners already are, then give entrants a reason to pass it on.

  1. Post it on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and mix the formats (a feed post, a Story and a Short each reach different people).
  2. Add the link to your link-in-bio page, so anyone who finds you mid-stream can get to it.
  3. Email your list. These people already asked to hear from you.
  4. Mention it on livestreams and in release countdowns, and say when it ends.
  5. Add a Viral Share Action so entrants earn bonus entries for every friend who enters through their link.

Boost a post only once it's getting organic replies (we'd rather put a small budget behind something that's already working than push a cold ad).

If the giveaway is tied to a new release, a pre-save giveaway lines everything up behind one listener action. Spotify Pre-Save is on the Premium Plan.
