 Hey everybody what's going on it's your man Kory. Welcome to The Digital Dash where I'll be giving you guys tips on how to market your songs and get those numbers booming. Now for those of you who don't know who I am I'm a digital marketer myself. I specialize in helping artists like you guys get their songs heard through platforms like Spotify, Instagram, YouTube and a bunch of others. Now what I want to talk to you guys about today is a quick and easy way that you can share your songs albums and even playlists onto Instagram straight from Spotify. Now before the only way that you could do this was by either screenshotting whatever you were trying to share and sharing it to your profile that way or if you're lucky enough to have 10,000 followers you can always do the swipe up function. Luckily these two companies have come together and made it a lot easier for the smaller guys to share their songs that way. With that being said I want to show you guys how you can do it so let's hop right to it. All right guys so here we are inside of Spotify. Now the first thing that you want to do of course is make sure that you have the most recently updated version of the app. Go ahead and check this out so that you can follow along with us in this tutorial. Now once you have that all situated the next thing that you'll want to do is go ahead and queue up whatever song, album, playlist, whatever it is go ahead and queue it up to the screen that you see once you're actually playing your song. Now once you do what you'll want to do is click those three little dots in the right hand side of the screen and what this does is bring up a list of options for Spotify itself that you should be familiar with if you're familiar with the platform. If you're not I recommend that you go ahead and do so. So you want to scroll down and find the share option. Now what this does is bring up a list of sharing options based on where apps you have downloaded on your phone. So as you can see I have WhatsApp, I have the iPhone Messenger, I have the Twitter app and they even have the basic sharing option of just copying the link. What you want to do is click Instagram stories. Now what this will do is go ahead and queue up the song and your Instagram stories so that you can share it. All you have to do is click your story and it'll post it right to your profile, right to your Instagram stories. Now someone who comes along to your profile and is looking at your stories this is the screen that they'll see. So all they have to do is click play on Spotify in the top right corner and click open in Spotify and boom it takes you right to Spotify directly to the song, the album, the playlist, like I said whatever it is. Now over time I'm sure that Spotify will think of a way that you can share your song directly onto your timeline but for now this works guys especially for those of you with fewer followers like the ones of you who have less than 10,000 followers. Now you don't have to do the rough and gritty way of just sharing the song to the platform by doing a screenshot or something like that. So you guys go ahead and try it out and let me know how it goes. So like I said now you guys who haven't quite hit 10k followers yet have a much cleaner way to share your songs try it out and let me know how it goes. Man if you feel like you learned anything today guys please like and share this video, hit those post notifications as well I wouldn't want you guys to miss anything. Once again my name is Kory and I'll see y'all next time.
