I kicked off my streaming setup recently. I first got the idea from a friend back in October 2023, though I had tried something similar in 2020 and it didn’t really work out.
Between October 2023 and March 2024, I spent time learning and perfecting the process, and I started seeing actual payouts around April 2024.
So far, I’ve put in about $1,520 into this project, and I’ll share the earnings I’ve gotten so far.
Right now, I’m running 9 phones for Spotify, 7 for Apple Music, 5 for Deezer, 6 for YouTube, and 5 for Audiomack.
The $1,520 I invested went toward buying the phones, premium subscriptions, and lifetime accounts I’m using.
I managed to grab phones for around $32 each here in the UAE, where I live.
I’m focusing only on certain high-paying countries, like the UK and a few others.
I also got someone to supply me with plenty of vocal tracks to distribute. All of them were accepted by the different platforms, and I got them pretty cheap, so it didn’t eat up my budget.
Here’s a look at my earnings so far this year. I’ll share more tips and insights on how I make this work in future updates.
I plan to keep updating this thread to help people who’ve been struggling to get started. It takes tracking a lot of numbers, but it’s doable.
After about 4.5 months of testing and adjusting, I’m happy to finally see payouts coming in. Even if something goes wrong, I won’t be at a total loss.
I’m sharing several screenshots from different music platforms because the number one rule is: spread your tracks across as many distributors as you can.
