To ensure you make the best first impression, your overall online presence needs to be professional. This will include making sure social-media accounts, your website and artists bios all over the web are up to date.

It is also a great idea that you tag a playlist curator in these posts, which shows you are invested in the playlist, which will help to develop a relationship.
