This thread will circle around *MY* personal experience. If you feel like you can do so much more, by all means please do! If you think you cant do some, its okay too! Streaming is supposed to be a habit of YOUR own.
Shoutout to all my monster streamer friends! You guys rock!

Before I start, if somehow an uninvited third party shows up with an unwarranted opinion, I’m a medical student with bills to pay and assignments (and TONS of exams) to study for. I most definitely have a life so dont worry about that part

I’ve been an army since 2016, but I’ve only just recently adopted a regular streaming habit which is during Dynamite era and thereafter.
So, its NEVER too late to get into streaming. its NOT a burden if you want to do it and know how to do it.

1. Know your platform.
This is crucial. Know which and how many platforms you can work on. I, personally, choose spotify, apple music, soundcloud, and youtube (not yt music tho).
Do some research on how streaming works on that platform.

E.g. with spotify and apple music, playlist is INCREDIBLY important. for youtube, forbidden in the first 24 hours.
spotify fillers: 2-3
AM fillers: 1-2
deezer fillers? trick question! u cant put >1 of the same song in a playlist on deezer.
KNOWING YOUR PLATFORM IS ESSENTIAL!

I make use of my student status to get discounts on spotify and apple music. Several apps i use (gr@b bike, sh@zam) also offer free premium plans, so i try my best to keep up with that and redeem them all

If I’m short on money and cant extend my spotify premium, I make use of my laptop!
Do you know that regardless of your plan, Spotify Desktop and Web Player still allow you to enjoy premium advantages excluding the ad-free feature? Wild!
Lets be efficient!

3. Make it your habit!
This all comes down to the question, “so how do you stream everyday?”
I will get into my personal day-to-day streaming habit now

I use 2 devices most of the time (occasionally 3) which include my phone and laptop(s).
Phone is for apple music and purchasing, laptop is for spotify, youtube, and soundcloud.

I have 2 spotify premium accounts. So, i use each account for each laptop. In case, it goes back to spotify free, refer to point #2!
I also have 2 youtube accounts, but theyre free (except during cb). But its okay! I use each account for each laptop.
same thing with soundcloud

Each morning I wake up, I put on a playlist for each account on each platform in each device.
Then I undergo my 8-4 class. Since im basically in front of laptop all morning to evening, i can easily switch playlist.
And each night before i go to bed, i put on a sleep playlist.

And each night before i go to bed, i put on a sleep playlist.
But, on more than one occasion, i have to go outside and be somewhere and leave my laptop.
Tho i cant stream youtube & soundcloud efficiently whenever that happens, spotify is a different case.
I can control the playlist in my laptop WITH my phone using spotify connect!

“But wont the sound bother you?”
I gather ALL the unused headsets in my house and plug it in every time i need it!

4. Record your streaming and enjoy the reward!
God, streaming is so rewarding... ESPECIALLY if you track your own streams.
I’ve been using Last fm since Dynamite era to count my streams and record it. It’s super easy to set up and very helpful. PLEASE USE IT!

Knowing that I contributed to [insert number] streams makes me feel proud and happy.
Knowing that the streams I dedicated to BTS helps them to be a step higher makes me feel accomplished!
I’m doing it for BTS, but im doing it for me too

Tho i dont know exactly the number, i usually gain 300 scrobbles from one spotify account everyday. ~100 (most of the time less) from youtube. ~200 from one soundcloud. and ~300 from apple music.
so it should amount to ~1300-1500 scrobbles everyday.
