Videos like yours helped me with my solo journey. It was taking ages to get anything done with my band so I decided to release original music on my own.

Currently sitting at 25.6K monthly listeners. Thanks to your advice. 2023 has been good but I think it’s only going to get better 2024.

Good luck to everyone in their journey!

i did all the wrong things before getting PR, fake playlists ect... im just doing ads right now

This video was perfectly timed for me haha. I told myself in the last week of the year that this year I’m going to get started. I don’t care how many streams I get but as long as I get into a good routine of doing everything and not just half bothering after finishing a song. I’ve noticed I seem to take a massive break after I finish a song a bit like you mentioned where any growth I just let it fade away. I need to plan myself a routine to follow and stop wasting time rather than just appearing and disappearing. I need to get my head down and learn and improve so I’m gonna be binging your channel a lot more

[JamesDapper]

I haven’t been able to watch one of your videos in awhile. It’s been an insane 12 months. But I’m happy to see your content again man. Thank you for being one of the seldom music marketers actually giving sound advice and showing you step by step how it’s done. Much love Andrew

There is so much VALUE in this one video!!! You can genuinely tell that Andrew is a great guy & cares / puts actual thoughtful consideration behind every statement

[nadarienart]

As I prepare to come back to music I have been watching a lot of similar content. Just wanted to say I really appreciate your calm and organized delivery. Thanks.

[FutureMondays]

Lots of credibility behind Andrew's suggestions here - love it. Gotta respect someone who has a financial incentive to give you advice in one direction... and he does exactly the opposite, steering folks clear of the wrong moves. Bravo!

[TheRoseCityRockers]

We've spent the last couple months recording songs so we have them ready to go in the pipeline. Our first single, "Going Down to Memphis" is scheduled for release jan 24/25. The video is shot and we are now releasing 20 second clips to build excitement for the official full length release. Then we're following a 6 week release schedule for the rest of 2025. Super pumped about following this plan! #BluesRock

This video just gave me a whole new perspective on promoting music. Thanks for sharing these valuable tips!

[bmar_music]

[RyanSmithSounds]

This is exactly what I need right now. First song went live earlier this week. This is a whole new world haha

[Varthaer]

Appreciate your content! Much love to you and all the artists in these comments, let's have a successful 2024 y'all! 🙏🤘💚

4:29 This really shifted my mindset and perspective in a positive way regarding social media, especially as someone who is solely in this for the music.

[cashsounds]

Can’t wait for the 1, 000 in a month video thank you for all you do for the community

[PatriciaPalmeroAlvarez]

Hey man! Always appreciate these videos. I know it was mentioned in a video a little while back that you didn't trust it yet, but I was wondering if you had any experience and updated recs on enabling automatic adjustments on FB ads. It tells me there's a "potential outcome" of a 20% lower cost per result." Wondering your thoughts on this!

[Prenticetherapper]
