what up err-body well back in the studio today and today I want to pick through
the results of using playlist push to get upload my my most recent single
added to playlist on Spotify I posted a video not long ago a vlog episode about
using playlist push to submit for playlists playlists push and submit hub
and today I want to talk about the results of having used playlist push so
far in the comments section on YouTube for the video I posted about using
playlist pushing submit hub I had somebody asked me what my results were
like was I happy with it and that question made me think well maybe I
should do a part two and talk about exactly what happened so I'm gonna break
that down we're gonna screencast and I'm gonna show you exactly what the numbers
look like so far my campaign start date was 19 days ago so that would have been
three weeks ago almost I started it on Friday started the Friday after I
submitted it or after I released upload which would have put would have put me
at our least upload on the 15th so I started my campaign on the 22nd and it
ended on the 5th of April so one for two weeks and this is what happened so we're
here in playlist push tab and this is my campaign information you can see what
happened I got added to 5 playlist 3 stars
3.2 stars was the average rating for the song there's my new voice campaign ended
five days ago started 19 days ago so let's view the results so here the
results 5 playlists with a with a combined total of about 20,000 followers
spotify popularity 28 out of a hundred and then the monthly listener count
4,500 about so you can come down here and you can
see all of the reviews together you can see who added the track so obviously
good ratings on those who added it the last one
three stars pretty chaotic so I'm gonna be honest it does give you kind of a
rush which would be perfect while working out running or anything else
it's not really my style but I will add it to the playlist which is made for
working out so okay that's going and then you can uh not added and then you
can really see what people think there I'm not gonna read through all these you
can pause it if you want to but there's a one that I thought was great um oh
here we go alright part of the language this was
really messy and hard to listen to song I wasn't really feeling it just felt
like a big ear fuck the whole time I'm sure there's a market for this but it
missed the mark for me so I don't know I'm sure that there are plenty of
musicians out there who'd get their feelings good and hurt about stuff like
this I don't I think it's funny I think everybody's entitled to their
opinion I think it's totally cool somebody who doesn't like the song
because I think the expectation that every single person who ever listens to
any song I ever put out is going to like it is absolutely ludicrous and in fact I
assume out of the gate that probably 99% of the people are not going to like what
I put out but that's okay if 1% of the population of the world likes it that's
still what 7 million or 70 million people like I'm good we're fine so
anyway I just thought it was funny like the things that people say in reviews
are a lot of fun so main bullet point don't take the negative reviews too hard
don't take the positive reviews too hard feel good about what you put out and
leave it at that so these are the numbers let's go over here to music
artists Spotify for artists so this is what's happened since I added it to play
this bush in the last three weeks I have gotten up to six point six thousand
streams and four point five thousand a month
we leverage monthly listeners on Spotify for upload
as you can see glitch has not been added to any playlists or anything in its
numbers by comparison art sad I need to fix that but if we go over here to
audience you can kind of see what's been happening this is very clearly right
when I well this is what I put the song out right Friday March 15 and this is
when I started getting added to playlist and boom boom boom boom up we go and
then it is kind of stayed static around 300 or so so I'm very happy with that
four five playlists and an average of 300 plays in a given day
I'm happy with that at this point this is only the second song I've ever put
out this is my first time using playlist push and this is the first round of
playlist I've gotten mad at too so I'm super pumped man this is all good to me
I'm sure the thing that is on the forefront of most of your minds is money
I spent to submit to I don't know how many playlists that's the bummer of
playlist Bush it doesn't tell you how many places submits you to just we'll
give you an average up front or a ballpark of what you should expect to be
submitted to but it won't tell you the number so that's kind of a bummer but I
spent two hundred and forty seven dollars and fifty cents to submit to I
think around fifty playlists and I only got added to five that's okay again this
is all an experiment the number of streams I have now means if you do the
math based on a point zero zero six dollar ya return rate then I've made
about forty dollars which means I have not anywhere close made to made my money
back however it's only been three weeks since I started getting at at the
playlist so working under the assumption that hopefully this song stays on these
playlists and maybe continues to get added to some more playlists I can
expect that ultimately I will make my money back
but I'm just not gonna make it back in two weeks and that's okay so let's just
say I've averaged forty dollars over the past three weeks then it should take me
about five times as long further to earn my money back so give it a few months
and maybe I'll make my money back we'll see I don't know but that's all assuming
that my song stays on the playlists that it is currently on I don't know if
that's gonna happen or not I don't know what the rules are I don't know what
these playlist curators individual tastes are whether they cycle things out
after two weeks or what I don't know so those are the numbers I
submitted to around 50 I got a 3.2 star rating which I'm fine with quite frankly
I don't think that the two songs have released so far blockbusters by any
stretch of the imagination I didn't write them to me I'm not trying
to right now what I've been putting out is not an effort to write the hits I'm
trying to write cool and interesting and fun instrumental music and that's what I
want to be doing right now so I'm happy with the results
5 playlists out of 53 point 2 star rating and I've made back $40 at my 250
dollar investment in about three weeks so I recommend using it I think it's a
good tool I think if you're writing vocal songs and popular songs and your
results are probably gonna be even better so take it from me the guy with
the weird instrumental tracks if I can get some money back you can't do that's
it for today I hope this is helpful and as always thanks for watching and I will
see you tomorrow peace
