Tips For Self-Pitching: How to Submit a Track and Avoid Ending Up in Spam

What’s pitching and why can’t you do without it?

Pitching is your application to get on cool playlists and editor picks on Spotify, and other streaming platforms. If editors pick your track, streams will explode and fans will start sharing it with friends. But to make that happen, you need to submit your pitch smartly, on time, and with some heart.

Rules of the game: how to avoid spam and get noticed

• Timing is everything! Submit your track 7–14 days before release (14 days is best). Late submissions usually don’t get listened to, so you miss your shot.
• Presentation is your business card. Your pitch text should be clear and memorable — tell who you are as an artist, what makes your track unique, its genre, and why it fits perfectly in that playlist. Add interesting facts and the story behind the song to make it lively and emotional.
• Quality is non-negotiable. Your sound must be professional and clean, cover art stylish and eye-catching, metadata accurate and complete (track title, artists, genre, ISRC, etc.). Leave no room for mistakes.
• Don’t spam! One pitch equals one chance. Repeated submissions without changes get ignored.
