The other month, I tried SubmitHub for the gazillionth time. Long-story-short, the results were pretty good. (I mean, we didn't go viral or anything - but for $44, what do you expect?)
In this video, I break down exactly what happened with our campaign and whether or not SubmitHub is worth it for indie artists. - Hudba
This was really cool to see the "other side" of the process. Glad you had a successful campaign!
Yeah, it's funny how curators / artists have such different perceptions of the process ha. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this information, it was really helpful! I also went and checked out the song by Old Friends, New Friends (love the sound!) and then also submitted to Ear to the Ground Music's list. Fingers crossed!
That was an amazing song, thank you for sending that!! Amazing approval rate btwđ€đœ
Thanks for listening, and for the support!
I mean that song to this day has only 19,000 streams though....
Nice review! đ
Well. As you can see, most playlists have already kicked out that song so that is all you got from SH. I just calculated my campaign for my 2nd last album and I on average pay 0.002$ per stream. So that is 15 times better than your campaign.
Well congrats haha. Was your $0.002/stream campaign on SubmitHub, through an SEO playlisting agency, via Facebook ads, or what?
Thanks for the insights! At 4:10 you mention you've "been running ads". Can you elaborate more on that? On what platform, in what way? Would love to know :)
Yeah! $10 / day on Meta ads, starting about a month after the song was out. Placements are mostly Instagram reels and stories.
@@twostorymediamusic nice! Got to try that. Just in the form of a short video I guess? Square sized?
2:33 "appreciated the guitar strumming" đ
it's some good guitar strumming, lemme tell you
Can you do a video on TikTok ads?
In terms of Bang for Buck.....would you rate Submit Hub over Paid Facebook Ads ?
Good question. Kind of depends on your goals... in terms of cost-per-stream, SubmitHub probably beats Meta ads, especially in the short-term.
But over the longer-term, things probably turn toward Meta ads - and definitely in terms of engagement stats (saves, streams per listener, etc.) Meta ads would win.
Good video
Is Spotify 0.03 per stream I thought it was 0.003 or 3 streams earns one penny.
If it is 3 pennies per stream I am about to be PAID...woot woot
Ha, yeah, it's what you thought - three streams to earn a penny. When I say $0.03 per stream, I'm talking about cost - how much I paid to SubmitHub to get those streams. So even though the campaign was pretty solid, it had a negative ROI in terms of streaming revenue (which tbh is kind of inevitable).
Sorry that was kind of confusing ha.
I like this channel bro my suggestion is find best ways and share how to invest without getting negative roi because that means for those who are struggling asking them to pay into a system to only to be in more debt when music is supposed the opposite
So you are afraid of being the next Spider Man??? LOL
Well I hadn't thought of it like that... but now that you mention it, still yes haha.
"only has 4000 streams" lol
