The Royalty Source Audit

Analyze your stream sources to understand your audience and forecast your publishing income.

In this 3-day challenge, you will dissect your "Source of Streams" data, identify your most valuable listener segment, and use AI to project future earnings based on that data.

The plan, day by day

1. Day 1Source Analysis. In Spotify for Artists, navigate to Audience > Source of streams for your top song. What percentage comes from 'Listeners' own playlists and library'? Document this.
2. Day 2Resonance Connection. For your top source category, write a one-paragraph profile of the listener you imagine is discovering you there. What emotional need does your song fill for them in that specific context? This clarifies your song's emotional utility.
3. Day 3AI-Powered Forecasting. Use an AI assistant to help you build a simple spreadsheet formula that projects next month's royalties based on an assumed 10% growth in your most 'active' listening source. This demystifies financial projection, a key skill from the "AI for Musicians" guide.
