How many streams do you need on Spotify to make $1000

🎛🎚🎧🎼🎵In this video I go over how much it actually takes for you to make a $1,000. Going with a Record Label or by doing it on your own with an Aggregator.

For those who don’t know me I’m a Guatemalan based in Denver Colorado. I started making music after going to a festival called Semana de Musica Avanzada. Were I saw a video on how the Guatemalan Electronic music had started. I had 0 musical training or experience.
So I decided to get Ableton live and a Midi Keyboard and figure it out. Soon after I figured out that it was not going to be easy. I saw music as a way to express feelings, emotions and connect with people.

Now 10 years later I have released in labels like Global Underground, Babiczstyle, and Moody Recordings. I have been able to releases alongside artist’s likes of Robert Babicz, Xpansul, Jaceo, Jonas Tempel, Ben A and Rick Wade. I Love blending gritty organic sounds with Latin instrumentation, celebrating My Latin roots and bringing that uniqueness to my production.

I served as Mentor for Redline ArtCorps a network of programs that support the arts at under-resourced schools in RedLine’s community of Five Points. By establishing strong connections between art, education, and the community, ArtCorps increases student’s opportunities for creative engagement in schools, allowing for a more rigorous and well-rounded education. I mentored Evan to learn how to produce music and channel his energy into music.

During my period with Redline, I understood that passing down knowledge has more impact and that Is why I decided to start my YouTube channel journey and help people interested in making music in a non-technical way with videos about music production based on my experience and mistakes that I've made in my music production journey.

Thanks for the breakdown. It was interesting to hear that as an independant artist you'll need hundreds of thousands of streams to see revenue of any appreciable amount from Spotify.

Really linking the detail of this video. There are aggregators that charge a flat fee a month for record labels.

That's a lot of streams! Thanks for the info!

I saw another video with something similar so I started to research. This is crazy. So assuming you averaged 500K streams a month, you would only get 1.5K/Month? That's like barely above minimum wage.
I find it hard to believe that famous artist pulling 30Mil+ streams a month on Spotify are only making 100K/Average/month.
At that rate, being an artist seems like a terrible path to go down unless you expect to be VERY famous.
I don't see how someone like Russ can make over a million a year off of probably 20mil streams in total? Something is not adding up.

Spotify already seems more promising than YouTube when it comes to cpm I’m doing a podcast but this is still useful info
