Music streaming is an incredibly innovative method of playing music and monetizing it! The process starts with the multiple platforms available through which artists can allow their music to be streamed on and where users, in turn, can stream this music. Some examples of such platforms are the world-famous Spotify, Amazon Prime Music, Deezer, Tidal, and Audiomack (all of which we provide streaming services and promotions for, so check those out!). The concept of streaming is to allow for these songs to be played without needing to download the song file on your hard drive. This allows space-saving on devices and provides for the ability to play songs instantaneously without needing to download them prior. Streaming works as long as a user is connected to the internet to allow for continuous file transfer (not download) to your device.Once an artist gives rights for their songs to be streamed on said platform, they can generate an income that depends on several things, one of which is the number of times a song is streamed/played. The specific amount of money allocated per stream varies from platform to platform. It has been estimated that artists on Spotify can make a rough estimate of around 0.0044 USD per stream. That means that to generate approximately 50 USD, an artist will need upwards of 11,500 streams.
