With Promote in Apple Music for Artists,
you can easily create various social-ready graphics
that highlight how your music is performing
and celebrate your success with your fans.
Shareable Milestone cards are generated for artists
of all sizes, highlighting new highs
and all-time bests across Plays and Shazams,
as well as inclusion in Apple Music editorial playlists.
So how does it work? Before you get started,
visit the Account section of Apple Music for Artists
to confirm that your team is set up
with the right access to support you.
This feature is only available
for users with the appropriate account roles.
Today, I'm going to walk you through the iOS app experience,
but you can also access playlist Milestones
on the web version of Apple Music for Artists.
Images celebrating your Milestones will be displayed
on the iOS overview page under Promote.
From the overview page you can select See More
to get a full list of your recent Milestones and promotable content.
Add a date range using the date picker to populate Milestones
associated with a specific time frame.
You can also find relevant Milestones
on the Song and Country detail pages.
Tap any Milestone card to get started.
Once you have a Milestone selected, you'll have the opportunity
to customize the background color using the color palette
located at the bottom of the screen.
This is a great way to tailor the graphic to fit your personal style.
Once you're happy with the look and feel,
tap Share to open up the share sheet.
From the share sheet, select which social media platform you want to post to.
Instagram Stories, Facebook Stories, Snapchat, and Twitter are all supported
and will display in your share sheet
if you have the social app downloaded on your device.
If you're not ready to share in that exact moment,
you'll also have the option to email or message the Milestone
to yourself or your team to share later.
When crafting your post, add some more copy to your Milestone card
to amplify your voice as an artist.
This is a great way to make the post feel authentic to you.
Adding in personal context can help build excitement around the Milestone
and encourages your followers to celebrate with you and engage with the content.
At the time of sharing from your iPhone,
a Linkfire link for the relevant content
will automatically be generated and attached to the post
so that fans can tap to listen.
If you're emailing your assets to share later
or accessing your Milestones on the web version of Apple Music for Artists,
make sure to copy the share link provided and include it in your post
so that your fans can access the relevant content.
And don't forget to include a clear call to action such as, "tap here to listen,"
so that your fans are encouraged to take action.
Finally, make sure to tag @AppleMusic or @Shazam, depending on the Milestone.
This way we can find you on social media
and share in the celebration.
Now, it's your turn! Download the Apple Music for Artists iOS app
to access all your Milestones to get started.
