Yes, it is 💡 Just like most things in life, SubmitHub works better over time – after a few tries, after getting to know the system, the curators, the little things that have worked for you before… and yep, after you’ve built some relationships. 🧵👇

Getting into our popular chart is – and always will be – free. But it’s not just a vanity spot: only songs that perform well with SubmitHub curators (in their genre) make the cut 💪 Once you're on the chart, anyone on SubmitHub can check you out... 🧵👇

Engagement or Genre match – what’s better to aim for? 🤔 While the Engagement score *is* helpful – it shows how much support a song might get from a playlist or an outlet – Genre match is hands down the one to focus on first. It all starts with the right fit. 🧵👇

Looking to improve your chances with curators? Try submitting from their profile! Submitting from a curator’s profile shows intention. While a small move, it can make a difference – particularly with those who have featured you before or those you’d love to be featured by. 🧵👇

Thinking of the best time to submit? 👀 #Timing heads-up = things tend to slow down on SubmitHub around year-end & January 🎄⛄️ + there's a dip mid-year (hello July slump 💤). October and November, on the other hand, usually end with a bang (= a huge amount of submissions) 💥🧵👇

There will be declines. With a site-wide approval rate of around 30%, odds are you'll get at least 2 declines for every approval. So don’t stress – expect it, brace yourself, and... use it to your advantage if possible 💡 🧵👇

Running Meta ads – with us or on your own – but not seeing results? Maybe you're getting clicks but no followers, or your CTR is super low (<20%)? While a lot depends on the music, the demand, and the competition, there are still some solid tweaks you can try: 🧵👇

We say it often – you don’t have to use SubmitHub. But wherever you go, vet the playlists & platform you’re using. No one checks curators like we do (some barely check at all 😅). Big thanks to Alfonso for spotting what sets us apart: bot-free-ness & more affordable pricing 🙌

Worried about fake playlists or getting scammed? Honestly, many of us are these days. That’s why we built the Playlist Checker 🕵️‍♀️ It lets you check the growth of any Spotify playlist and shows flags on ones that have already been reviewed and marked as unsafe. 🧵👇

Ever wonder why Premium (= paid) submissions get approved more often than Standard (= free) ones? 🤨 It’s not just the payment itself – it’s mostly the intent behind it 🎯 🧵👇

AI in music isn't going away. The question is how the industry chooses to handle it. 💡 AI music conversations can get pretty heated 😅🦾 But... whatever side of the debate you're on, having more transparency is pretty much always a good thing. 🧵👇

❝ Think of SubmitHub less like a test you pass or fail, and more like a feedback loop. You submit → observe → tweak → try again. That’s where the progress actually happens. 🧵👇

🎧🤳 Artists, your #playlist game might matter more than you think. You don't need to run a playlist empire or aspire to be a curator to create a list that works for YOU. It can actually help you grow 🚀 Whether it's songs you've been vibing with, artists who inspire you... 🧵👇

Using different platforms to pitch the same song? Totally fine by us 🙌 Seriously, do whatever you need to get your music out there, finding what works for you the most is the most important thing ☝️ Just make sure the platforms are legit 🙏 🧵👇

Running your own TikTok ads? 👀 Good news: SubmitHub Links now support TikTok conversion tracking 💜📣 Just connect your TikTok Pixel ID and Events API token, and TikTok can track what happens after someone clicks your ad and lands on your Link. 🧵👇

You might not need it (or maybe never will), or it could just be fun to check out a song now and then… But did you know we have an AI checker? 🦾 It’s never going to be 100% accurate (AI keeps evolving), but if you’re looking for a 2nd opinion, you can run a song through it. 🧵👇

Here’s a pro tip to make your Spotify editorial chances higher 💡 If you’re trying to land an editorial, don’t aim for the biggest playlists – it’s incredibly hard, if not impossible, to get on those, especially if you’re small or indie. Think smaller. Think local. 🧵👇

Sometimes, users either enter the wrong #ReleaseDate or change their minds about the date after submitting their song on SubmitHub 🗓️ It's perfectly fine to make a mistake or change your mind AS LONG AS you update the release date on SubmitHub when such a change occurs ✅ 🧵👇

It’s been a while since SubmitHub added the free Spotify Popularity Score feature 🎯📊 And if you haven’t used it yet… you’re missing out on a super simple way to track how your songs are actually doing over time 😊 🧵👇

Did you get a response from a curator that makes no sense? 😡 A rejection not explaining why your song wasn't featured? 😤 Or run into any other issue, sub-related or about something completely different? ⚡ You can vent on TikTok 😅 ... but you can also let us know. 🧵👇

This is a gentle reminder to not forget to remind people of your music 🔄 It’s easy to put a lot of effort into releasing, promoting, posting, and emailing about your new song, and then simply move on. It’s normal, as other songs are being worked on and released, and then life happens, too.

Would you rather have listeners or just numbers? 📊 Fake playlists might boost your streams – but there are no fans, no connection... Just bots doing laps. Isn’t that weird? Even with a lot of streams, no one’s heard your track. It might look good, but does it mean anything? 🤯

Once you figure out which outlets are the right fit, SubmitHub can really offer a lot. Not just through acceptances, but through the right declines too. Both can help you grow – through promotion, motivation, and sometimes by giving you just the distance you need 💡💜

When should you submit your song, before or after release? 🤔 There’s no one-size-fits-all answer – but there is a smart way to think about it. Here’s what actually works: 🧵👇

✨ Our Link landing pages got a REDESIGN ✨ Useful info: All newly created Links now use the new look by default. Older Links will stay on the classic version until you choose to switch. To enable the new design, head to your Link's Ads tab, open the Preview page, and toggle it ON ☑️

💡 submithub.com/curators = a super helpful resource for your research and filtering ☝️ No joke – have you ever taken a closer look at this part of SubmitHub? You can prep a lot here that future-you will thank you for. 🧵👇

Curation AND music marketing isn’t just about the music – it’s often also about presentation 💡 When a curator opens your track, that 1st impression can make a difference. That’s why artwork is important – and you can take it a step further by using a YouTube link as source 🧵👇

Ever thought about sending the same song to a curator more than once? 🎯🤔 Sometimes, #resubmitting totally makes sense – maybe your track expired, or maybe it had a great run on their list and you’re wondering if lightning could strike twice ⚡ So... should you go for it? 🧵👇

A small but potentially impactful tip for you ahead 💡 When you pitch your song in Spotify for Artists, don’t forget to mention your promo plans 📣 Let the editors know how you’re planning to support the release. 🧵👇

Ever thought about promoting yourself locally? 🏘️🏙️🏔️🏝️ There are several local-oriented tactics you can use that might be more rewarding in the long term than immediately targeting the entire world. Consider these options: 💭👇

Can you imagine an outlet that seems to accept everything? 🤔 At first glance, it might feel good to get a “yes” – but when every song is a yes, it stops meaning much. Why? Well, #curation is about… choice. Taste. Personality. 🧵👇

Not sure whether to go with Honest or Gentle #feedback when submitting your song? 🤯 It’s a tough call – Honest feedback can feel brutal, especially when you've poured so much into the track. On the other hand, Gentle feedback often ends up being more general 💭 🧵👇

Jason for President? 👨‍⚖️🏛️ We get the hype, but he’s got no such plans – he’s just here to keep SubmitHub running smoothly. Still, we love that you hold us in such high regard, David. Thanks for coming back! 🙌

Ever noticed this checkbox during your song submission process? It’s small, but it might matter – for your information and well-being 😊 When checked, you’ll get an email for every feedback (and decline). That might be helpful – or not (if declines tend to bring you down). 🧵👇

Ever tried Reddit for your music? 👀 Everyone talks about social media – posting, engaging, building your brand – and it's, of course, true. But what if you're missing out on one of the best spaces for real music discussions, networking & feedback – #Reddit? 🎈 🧵👇

If you asked what’s the best and actually cheapest (per stream) way to give a (solid) song that initial boost around release, we’d say: curator pitching = playlisting with some blog features 🎧✍️ This is especially true for artists who aren’t big yet or are just starting out. BUT... 👇

Wondering if your genre gets love on SubmitHub? 🤔💔 Good (and bad) news: it's not always about the genre – sometimes it's all about the vibe and how polished your track is. It's competitive out there, so make sure to have your song on a solid level, qualitatively. 🧵👇

We know SubmitHub isn’t the only way to get your music out there. Every artist has a different path, and what works for one person might not work for another. So no, we’ll never say you should depend only on SubmitHub for playlisting or promotion 💡 🧵👇

If there’s one thing that makes a huge difference on SubmitHub, it’s treating curators like REAL people ✉️💬 Instead of sending cold, copy-paste pitches (or none at all), take a moment to be #thoughtful. 🧵👇

Yes, our design prioritizes practicality and data. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s okay. We’re all about keeping things functional and purposeful over chasing flashy aesthetics. That’s the approach we believe in – and we hope you can see why 🙌

Wondering when to submit your music to curators? Here's a cheat sheet: 1️⃣ Before release: Submitting to 1-2 smaller batches of curators 2-3 weeks before release is a great way to secure early placements and gauge initial reactions. 🧵👇

Is the curator unavailable because they’ve hit their limit? Here’s a little trick! 💡 Some curators cap their submissions to manage their workload, meaning they become unavailable once they reach that. That doesn’t mean you can’t submit to them if you REALLY want to 😉 🧵👇

If you're sending a CV, do you just send a basic document – a plain list with no formatting, no personality, and all in Times New Roman? And when it comes to clothes, do you just throw on whatever, without thinking about how you look or how others perceive you? 🤨 🧵👇

Standard submissions = 5-10x smaller chance of being approved 😕 Why is that? Well... a) It's #free, so most artists are just spraying and praying, not really targeting or putting in the work. 🧵👇

No fluff, just real insights 👀📊 @colortheory.bsky.social tested our Easy Mode – Packages feature on his Passive Promotion blog and shared a refreshingly honest breakdown. Loving this clear, open approach – and if you want to see how it works ➡️ passivepromotion.com/promote-a-so...

Not sure about the exact release date but want to submit your song for early feedback and potential placements? Watch out before marking it as Release date undecided 🚨 You, of course, CAN do that – but just a heads-up, curators usually aren’t big fans. 🧵👇

Like any tool (or anything in life worth pursuing) success on SubmitHub takes effort and time 💪 Don’t let declines get to you; focus on what you can learn and refine your strategy. With persistence, you just might just get there. Big thanks to DJ Cosmin for these wise words!

Pitching to editorials and wanting to actually catch the editor’s eye? 👀 Here's a pro tip: tell them about your promotion strategy! Spotify editors, in particular, love seeing a pitch where you describe your press push, advertising plans, and a pre-save campaign in action. 🧵👇

Want more engagement under your YouTube videos? Smart move – viewer engagement is important to YouTube recommending your content to more people. Here’s how to make it happen 🎬💬 🧵👇
