Sound familiar?

You release a song. You post about it. Then… silence.

You did everything "right." You uploaded through your distributor, posted on Instagram, told your friends. The first weekend you got a little bump. Two weeks later, the graph in Spotify for Artists is a flat line.

You're begging curators who never write back.
You're paying for "promo" that delivers suspicious streams and zero fans.
Your songs sit under 1,000 streams a year — the line Spotify now uses to decide whether a track earns recorded royalties at all.
Release Radar and Discover Weekly feel like a lottery you never win.

Here's the shift that changes everything: stop renting other people's playlists and build your own. When you own a playlist with real, engaged followers, you control where your songs go, how long they stay, and how many people hear them on release day.

That's the Playlist Profits formula. And the course is how you build it.

Built on a proven track record

250,000,000 streams and counting

This isn't theory from someone who's never released a song. It's the playlist and ad system Chris Greenwood uses on his own catalog — after 20 years as a full-time artist touring 22 countries.

Playlist Profits hands you the same playbook, broken into simple steps you can implement in a few hours a week.

What you'll walk away with

Four assets that keep paying you back

🎧

A self-sustaining playlist

A niche, keyword-optimized playlist with a proven 50-track architecture — built so listeners stay, save, and come back, and so your songs ride alongside artists your audience already loves.

📢

An always-on ad engine

A Meta ads setup — landing page, pixel, creative, budgets and kill/scale rules — that grows your playlist by thousands and your songs by hundreds of thousands of streams over time.

🧠

An algorithm launch system

A release calendar and 28-day launch playbook that stacks saves, repeat listens and playlist adds — the signals Spotify uses to decide what goes into Release Radar, Discover Weekly and Radio.

💰

A curator income stream

The compliant ways curators actually get paid — review platforms, sponsorships, services and brand playlists — plus the pricing sheet and pitch kit to start.

Chris Greenwood a.k.a. Manafest

Chris has worked in the music industry full-time since 2006, touring 22 countries and playing everything from bars and clubs to packed stadiums and churches.

In 2014, someone asked him how he found success in music — and how they could do the same. That year he created his first online course and wrote a bestselling book for musicians ready to conquer their fears and chase their dreams.

Today he helps independent artists build real audiences on the largest music streaming platform in the world — using the same playlist and ad strategies he uses on his own catalog.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who is this for?

Artists who want more fans, more royalties and more control by building and promoting a Spotify playlist loaded with their own songs alongside the artists their audience already loves.

How fast will I see results?

Most artists have their playlist built and live in the first week. Growth depends on your music, how consistently you promote and whether you use ads — some artists in our community doubled their streams within 30 days, others build steadily over a few months. The system is designed to compound, so results grow the longer you run it.

What exactly do I get?

12 modules and 50 step-by-step lessons with action checklists, the Templates Vault, lifetime access and future updates — plus the Playlist Profits ebook and audiobook as a bonus.

How much does it cost?

A one-time payment of $197. No subscription.

Do I need to spend money on ads?

No — Modules 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are all free growth methods, and plenty of artists start there. Ads are the accelerator. When you're ready, Module 6 shows you how to start small and only scale what's working.

Is this allowed by Spotify? Will I get in trouble?

Everything taught is built around real listeners. We specifically teach you to avoid bots, fake streams and selling guaranteed placements — practices that break Spotify's terms and can cost you money and releases. Module 5 and Module 10 cover exactly where the lines are.

How much time does it take?

Plan on a few focused hours in your first week to build and launch your playlist, then roughly 2–3 hours a week to run the system.

Does it work for my genre?

Yes. The playlist architecture is built around mood, activity and scene — which works for hip-hop, worship, rock, pop, electronic, lo-fi and everything in between.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. If you don't gain valuable insight from Playlist Profits, get your money back. Terms and conditions apply.
