PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EDIT THIS DOCUMENT IT IS FOR COPYING AND PASTING INTO YOUR OWN EMAILS AND OR FILES TO ADJUST PROPERLY Email Titles That Make People Want To Open The Email I’d be honored if you open this I have to apologize to you It took me a lot of courage to do this I promise you this is unlike anything you have ever been submitted It would mean the world to me if you read this e-mail You are probably the busiest person on earth and I respect and know that This MAY sound a little crazy You my friend have the GOLDEN EAR Have you ever considered working for a record label? How Long Have You Been Running Your Blog? How come I have never heard of your blog/playlist before? I’ve gotta say, you’re definitely different from the rest! Honestly, you should start a record label of your own because… Do you feel like you are missing anything? Oops I forgot to send this to you Do you have any executive producer credits on any songs? Have you ever considered being an artist manager? This will knock your socks off How many times have you heard this one? I love your taste in music but there’s just one thing… Can I ask you a serious question? Like very serious? I just followed you on every social media platform (*only use if you took the time to actually do this) The Goal Here The goal of these templates is to get these Spotify Curators to see you stand out from the crowd. To even get a Spotify Curator to open your email is the most important step. The next step is to get them to take you seriously as a music artist and actually LIKE YOU for how humble you are. The next step is to get them to like you as a music artist for your music. You will get the best results if you build up a rapport with these people before just sending them your music. Everyone else is doing that and it’s smarter to approach from a different angle than that. Your best bet with these is to REWRITE THESE in your own way. If you copy and paste these you will FAIL because there are other artists who have these SAME templates and they might be copying and pasting them too. Being lazy won’t get you anywhere in life. Simply rewrite all of these in your own words without making it TOO close to this. This is the outline we need to have in every email 1. Start with a compliment about the Spotify Curators Playlist that is clearly directed ONLY at their playlists and doesn’t look copy and paste. Something about the most recent song addition they made or how you loved their order of songs for vibing. 2. Let them know you value their time and opinion. 3. Tell them the benefit you are going to provide to them such as money so they see a reason to keep reading or even care 4. Say something humble and ask where you can send the money to through Venmo, CashApp, PayPal etc. 5. End with your artist name so they can SEE IT and say you look forward to their response. 6. We are sending them SoundCloud snippets to show we value their time. A full song on Spotify would make them think you are using them in a way. Directing them OFF of Spotify will catch them off guard and make them think, “Soundcloud… Snippet… 15 seconds? Wtf. Okay” Then from the SoundCloud it will have a link to your song on Spotify so they can easily grab it. Template 1 My friend has been going to your Playlists for a long time to find her new music and she just told me about you. I checked your playlists out and I can see why! You have a special ear for finding great music. I know your time is crazy valuable since you are getting 100s of DMs and EMAILS like this since your site is so popular. Unlike other artists I know you’re busy as hell. Can I please please please send a quick 10-15 second snippet of a song I think you’ll like a lot that goes along with some of the things I heard you posted on your site? Just 15 seconds of your time is all I ask. And it would mean a lot to me and my future if you would give me feedback on this. In addition to that, I’d love to offer you the exclusive to the full song release if you like it. LINK TO SNIPPET ON SOUNDCLOUD Thank you so very much * YOUR ARTIST NAME Template 2 I loved the fact that you posted up (NAME 2 RECENT ARTISTS THEY POSTED ON THEIR PLAYLISTS) because I actually know about those artists. You must be really in tune with what is going on if you are finding the golden nugget songs like that. I know your time is valuable so instead of sending you a full 3 minute song I just want to send over a 10-15 second snippet of a song I think you’ll like a lot that goes along with some of the things I heard you posted on your playlists. Just 10 seconds is all I am asking for and I’d be so honored if you would give this a listen. In addition to that, I’d love to offer you the exclusive to the full song release if you like it. LINK TO SNIPPET ON SOUNDCLOUD Thank you so very much * YOUR ARTIST NAME Template 3 GOAL: To get your foot in the door and show you care about their opinion. After you send the initial e-mail you can follow up with a song that best suits what their response is by saying “Okay would it be something like this?” EMAIL 1 Can I ask you a question? In your opinion what makes you actually WANT to post a music artist on your playlist? I’m not going to send a song yet because I genuinely want to know WHAT the driving factor is that you hear so I can try to make sure I have that “IT FACTOR” you require before submitting music. EMAIL 2 - RESPONSE TO THEIR EMAIL That’s really really interesting. I honestly wouldn’t have thought about it from that perspective. I am definitely going to make sure I try to look at everything I make from that perspective from now on. Damn… I honestly never thought about it like that. If you don’t mind, just so I have a place to start, would it be something like this? LINK TO YOUR SNIPPET ON SOUNDCLOUD I hand picked this one based on what you said. It’s only a 15 second snippet because I don’t want to waste your time. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Template 4 Have you ever considered working for a record label? After listening to some of the stuff you have dug up on the internet you can definitely hear developed talent. Labels need people like you and that’s exactly what an A and R does. I can tell you this, If I ever get enough money to start a record label you’re the first person I am hiring. I wanted to see if you could possibly give me 15 seconds of your golden ear and let me know if what I am releasing is worth promoting? If it’s not I just wanna know what I can do better so people like you would be willing to actually rock with me. I won’t bother you with a link unless you say it’s okay. I know you get a ton of emails and I value your time. I’d love to send a snippet over but you are free to accept or refuse. Thank you so much * ARTIST NAME Template 5 Do you feel like you have any competition with other playlists? I’ve been going through literally dozens and dozens of playlists the last few days and yours stands out from a lot of these other ones because of the color scheme, style of the site and music you post. You don’t seem to be posting just ANYTHING and I respect that. Most of these other playlists are just posting what is trending. That’s honestly why I felt I could reach out because you seem to post what’s DIFFERENT and more ‘Out Of The Box’ and you aren’t a robot and follower. That’s why I think reaching out to you would be super beneficial to any artist. Would it be possible to send you a 10-15 second snippet of a song of mine and see if it is DIFFERENT in the way that you like it to be? Because I feel that I am but I need someone like you to tell me If it’s just in my head. I’d really appreciate it, you’d be a life saver! I won’t send the link until you tell me too. Thank you in advance! * ARTIST NAME
