How do I match posts to streams by hand?
No tool can see inside the head of a listener. What you can see is a jump in your numbers right after a post. Do it the same way every time and the pattern shows after a few posts.
Log every post
Write down the day, the platform and the type of each post: clip, story, lyric card or live.
Use one link
Put the same SmartLink in every post, so the clicks of each day sit in one place.
Read the next 3 days
In Spotify for Artists, compare streams, saves and playlist adds on the day of the post and the 2 days after with the days before it.
Space your tests
When you try a new type of post, do not post anything else big that day. Two big posts on one day hide which one worked.
What does each number tell me about a post?
Views tell you that people saw a post. These numbers tell you that it brought listeners.
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| SmartLink clicks and streams go up the same day | The post sent people to the song. Make another post like it. |
| Saves go up more than streams | The post found people who like the song. This is the best result. |
| Many views, no new clicks or streams | People liked the video, not the song, or the post had no clear link. Add the link and name the song. |
| Streams go up with no post that day | Look for a new playlist add. A playlist, not a post, brought those listeners. |
