In today's video, I explain how to plan your budget, spending rate, and timeline. I also explain the concept of diminishing returns before showing real data I collected from a Facebook Ads campaign I ran for Spotify music promotion.

      That would be the worst of both worlds - you would have the extra fricition added by the landing page without the benefit of using conversions to track the quality of your traffic.

    Spotify now considers the "Radio" algorithmic playlist as an "Editorial" now. It's weird. I think Spotify wants to fool indie artists by making them think they have made it to a "real" editorial, but it's a lie.

    Appreciate this, Kyle! Haven't seen anyone else chart this out - really good food for thought. Do you have a go-to percentage of spend you'd recommend for the gradual increases? I think I've heard to keep each step up below 50% of total spend, but I haven't mapped out the data myself to verify that.

    • @kyle_the_ally

      You're welcome! For changes in daily spend, I recommend stepping no more than 50% in either direction. This isn't based in any hard data, but stays generally within Meta's own guidelines to prevent re-entering the Learning phase.

      I don't have any data one way or another to inform which is better, but as far as I know they're just two equivalent ways Meta has repackaged the "conversions" objective, so I assume they boil down to the same thing. However, this would be an interesting topic for an experiment!

    Ok but WHY traffic campaign doesn't work? What this "quality" even means? I've run a traffic campaign in tier 1 European countries, had almost 300 clicks but no stream increase. Why is that? In my ad I've got a deeplink forcing directly to spotify and to autoplay the song. If 300 people clicked on that link, why there's no streams at all? If they clicked, it doesn't mean they were interested? Why nobody can answer clearly to this question?

    • @Frankenstizzle
      @Frankenstizzle 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I believe a listen of your song is only counted as a stream if they listen to the entire song. So if people are clicking your traffic link to spotify but don't listen to the entire song then that wouldn't be considered a stream. I think that might mean your audience targeting is off and you're not finding fans of your genre of music

      @kyle_the_ally 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've got a lot of thoughts on this. For starters, I don't believe in bots (gasp!). Nobody has shown convincing evidence that they actually exist. The theory breaks down when you think about it critically: why is someone running bots out of Morocco to mess with your ads, and what could they possibly be getting out of it? I think "bots" are the convenient bogeyman the community points to when there's actually something foundationally wrong in their approach causing poor performance. My experience and observations have shown me that the quality of results actually correlates more strongly with the placements you choose than the countries. If you understand the countries, placements, and audiences you're targeting, "bots" never have to cross your mind.

      As far as I know, if you choose "conversions" as the goal form either the "sales" or "engagement" objective, it all resolves to the same thing. I use "sales" because that's the first one I noticed after Meta repackaged their conversion campaigns with the new labels (which was really annoying of them to do, by the way). I've stuck with "sales" since out of convention.

    spotify is a complete monopoly being held hostage by the 3 monopoly/cartel labels of sony, warner, and universal - this is why spotify is no longer paying smaller artists, this is also why spotify's business model hasn't been profitable, because they cannot afford to pay the artists AND the big record labels, so obviously they chose the labels, this is a genuine betrayal and cannot be accepted - the music industry is completely broken until these monopolies are broken up, this is complete exploitation by the artists, no artist in their right mind should be supporting spotify or these three monopolies

      Good observation - 15 seconds is just the convention I've adopted. It's not based on any hard data and recently I've been running ads that are up to 30 seconds long. However, I'm of the opinion that a longer ad isn't usually helpful - if you haven't convinced them to listen in the first three seconds, you probably won't convince them after that. Cheers!
