DistroKid vs TuneCore analytics for new artists

• Instead of paying for fancy distributor analytics, use free tools like Spotify for Artists to find new listeners. • Look at "Source of Streams" and "Cities" in Spotify for Artists to see if strangers are listening to your music. • Once you find a new city where people are listening, use a small amount of money to test ads in that city to find more new fans. Open Spotify for Artists right now and check the "Source of Streams" for your newest song to find your first clue about where new listeners are.
