Healing Playlists & Streaming Strategy

Why playlists matter

Curated playlists let hospitals, community clinics, neurodivergent learning pods, and individual caregivers deploy therapeutic music instantly. By hosting each category on YouTube and Spotify, then cross-posting excerpts on TikTok, X, Facebook, and Shorts/Reels, we generate a sustainable stream revenue channel that keeps FreeEd4Med’s programs funded.

Grounding, Breath, Movement, ADHD Cognitive Activation, ASD Sensory Safety

2 Primary Platforms

Mirrored playlists on Spotify + YouTube for universal access (audio + video)

Replace each TODO_* token with the actual playlist ID or share URL. After updating, run npm run serve (or your preferred static preview) to confirm the links render correctly before deploying.

Distribution workflow

Publishing cadence

  1. Release mastered track via distributor (ensures ISRC + royalty tracking).
  2. Add track to matching Spotify + YouTube playlists within 24 hours.
  3. Clip 15–30 second highlights for Shorts/Reels/TikTok with captions.
  4. Schedule community posts explaining therapeutic intent + usage tips.

Revenue routing

  • Playlist description includes “Streaming revenue supports FreeEd4Med (501c3).”
  • Link to donation page and newsletter opt-in inside every description.
  • Tag hospital/education partners when they feature the playlists to boost algorithmic ranking.

Social amplification plan

Every new track gets a coordinated set of short-form posts to drive playlist traffic and monetizable streams.

For hospitals, schools, and caregivers

Implementation tips

  • Create QR cards linking to the appropriate playlist for waiting rooms.
  • Embed YouTube playlist widget on patient portals or LMS dashboards.
  • Offer headphone loaner carts + signage explaining the therapeutic intent.
