Hi! I'm glad that I came across this channel. The information is so valuable! Thank you so much! Do you have any videos for artists who has just started their career ( almost no followers on social pages, a couple songs released with 500 plays on spotify and etc.)? How to get the first attraction, where to find blogs for new unknown artist, when to starts approaching bigger blogs / radio stations? More importantly what to spend a time for? Should a new artist approach bigger labels /blogs? I would watch a video covering this type of questions.

With submithub can you upload demos too? or should it be just songs your about to release pre-release? Thanks.

Please, give us tips about other system but not SubmitHub. Unfortunately it is totally useless. It extremely frustrating and depressing, and results are really rare and weak. I think I will never use it anymore as my current campaign is over. And I really don't suggest it to anyone, this is why (sorry for the long text, it was necessary):

1) most bloggers accept only premium credits;
2) most of them are there just for the dollar and often even don't listen to the song; some of them have 0, 1% approval rate... seriously? 1 over 1000 songs is ok for them? then they should reconsider if they love to promote music as bloggers or they are just tired of this job.
3) feedbacks are (most of the times) totally useless. Sometimes bloggers talk without knowing what they say ("the reverb on the synth is too much" and well, there is no reverb on the synth...). Many times you get feedback really opposite from different bloggers. Point of the story: feedback is useless
4) you get answers like "amazing track, it is really well produced and has a lot of potential .... but we don't feel like sharing it"... thanks a lot, should I copy-paste this compliments in an Instagram post?
5) some blogger are really offensive (ex. "not my cup of tea, and anyway just an horrible track" ... that track had a lot of success through Instagram adsm so why this blogger had to offend me?)
6) after taking 93% refused submission (data from Submithub), you feel so depressed that you really want to quit. And I am not the only one. Had to really support a friend of mine getting really down for 48h constant refusal
7) higher engagment rate bloggers give almost no benefit to you if they share you. If statistically you get 6 approvals over 100 and most of them put you in at the bottom of a playlist with hundreds of songs, then being heard by 20 people is an amazing results.... 6 playlist x 20 stream= 120 streams, for a price between 50-100$... AMAZING!
8) very akwards moments when you realize that some bloggers send amazing feedback to you, but they sent the same feedback (just your name changed) to everyone else who sent them music.... funny joke, isn't it?
9) I have read that very famous producers with great tracks and following did a track and sent it with different name to these bloggers... the result is that they should work more this and that, the track is too compressed, the hook takes long to come.... I wonder why this doesn't happens with tracks that they play in big festivals. Hope this is a just a funny story
10) you can reach bloggers yourself, talk to them and find out they have a network of other bloggers (also on SubmitHub) in the same music genre and niche. If you pay them a little more (few dollars more) you have higher chances of being published by many in the network and you spend less.


Seriously, the idea behind SubmitHub is amazing, the problem is that nowadays it is even worse than Playlist Push. 0 or no results and the fact that you buy cheap credits doesn't mean you don't spend a lot (you end up buying a lot of credits that you will waste anyway)

Love your videos thank you for the help :)

Hey guys,

Love your channel. How far out before release should you send a new song to blogs?

[luckyshotz]

Y’all need to come up with a podcast name

[Mikeandthedyslexicunicorns]

Do you guys also put together press releases? Get vid by the way 👍

To be honest the fact you say spotify can't afford to pay artist more money really lost you alot of respect for me. Why are you justifying their broken business model.

They are the same as Uber, just because you have a lot of users doesn't mean your business model isn't broken model.

They supposedly made $1.5 BILLION dollars in the first quarter of 2018 alone.

How are they not able to pay artists more?

They could do it easily. They just don't care.

If they had been forced to do it earlier it may have cost them some more venture capital, but they wouldn't have screwed over thousands of artists and continued the 'big business destroys small artists' mentality that has been proliferated in the last 10/15 years.

There are even thousands of artists they don't even bother to pay atall.

The fact the industry has now accepted it as a standard means their is no way it will ever change now.

I give it 3 years until a million streams is worth $2.50.

only 1% can succeed with zero budget and it involves a lot of luck
