The brief: Earlier this year, I spent $247 on a campaign with YouGrow Promo. Seven months later, here's what the results look like. Hopefully this is helpful as you think about your own long-term marketing strategies.

frodos eyes ...

[@twostorymediamusic]

I've actually gotten that before. I'll take it as a compliment ha.

[@djangomclear_rocks]

It makes you sympathic

[@LamontJackson]

I was able to get on a lot of playlist but most of them where on Spanish Playlist. I have no idea if that is good or bad.

[@speedcrawlmusic]

Thanks Jon! 🙌 I'm excited to try either YouGrow or Partnered Projects soon

[@fiifibissue]

Does yougrow services apply to African musicians who do afrobeat music

[@Devoh915]

Yes

[@STARSDYEDRED]

Any experience with the you grow tik tok promo?

[@twostorymediamusic]

Yeah, I tried one campaign where they ran TikTok ads for us. It was fine.
The raw results were solid (lots of engagement and new followers), but it didn't seem to translate to much long-term growth - almost all the accounts that followed didn't seem to be highly relevant to the artist and didn't engage much after the campaign. Not bots, just not super helpful, either.
And tbh, I'm pretty sure we could've run it ourselves at a lower cost without much trouble.

[@STARSDYEDRED]

@@twostorymediamusic Appreciate it! I should have clarified though, I'm wondering about the content creator part not the ads

[@GoranBackmanMusic]

You have an awfully kind face.

[@twostorymediamusic]

It's the downward-slanted eyebrows.

[@GoranBackmanMusic]

@@twostorymediamusic :) And don't forget the two big bold beautiful eyeballs below.

[@marlounsly]

Hey what’s your IG handle I’ve got questions

[@marlounsly]

Is yougrow SAFE? for your account meaning no strikes or bans . It’s hard to tell who’s keeping it real theses days

[@twostorymediamusic]

Short answer: Yes, they're definitely safe.
Longer answer: Tbh, there's always some risk when you promote music - not because of YouGrow, but because other companies (like wavr.ai, etc.) scan promo platforms and sometimes pick up tracks to add to their own botted lists.

[@marlounsly]

Wait so how do you combat that ? 😩

[@swervecc]

you can't. but as long as it's not you maliciously botting, you're fine. What would be the point of a random service like that? They get none of your royalties.@@marlounsly

[@marlounsly]

Hey, which is better yougrow or omari?

[@twostorymediamusic]

Tough to say definitively. But here's my list reviewing both of them: twostorymelody.com/best-spotify-promotion-services/

[@samsmusichub]

Thanks for your investment in basically all of us.

[@twostorymediamusic]

I'm glad this stuff is helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@samsmusichub]

@@twostorymediamusicWelcome!

[@JB-kf9gm]

Hey, Im a new artist and what kinda promotional things can I do to get actual fans?

[@hayzofficial7229]

post content around your music

[@eazy_beats_]

im gonna spend $1097 with yougrow by my next release

[@waidraps]

If you're serious lemme know how it goes.

[@eazy_beats_]

im srs and sure. dm me on ig: prodbluefox@@waidraps

[@twostorymediamusic]

@ezy_beats@@waidrapssame ha... I've spent thousands of dollars on this stuff, but I've never spent that much with a single playlisting company at once.

[@larskristiansen5755]

Any results on this?

[@CrashExhibition]

Was there any notable increase in follower numbers?

[@twostorymediamusic]

Nah, not really. Playlists very rarely have an impact on that.
(Fwiw, ads are waaay more engaged.)

[@aaronplata9152]

You have a lot of great content but please fix your audio. All of your audios are too low. Cheers

[@twostorymediamusic]

Ha, I'll try. Thanks for the feedback!

[@DemonEmbarasser]

You're just deaf buddy, I have my volume less than halfway and I can hear just fine.

[@david_soro]

you have great content!

[@twostorymediamusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@shalevcohen24]

Great vid! I ran a campaign with them too last month and I was pleasantly surprised - most of the streams from the playlists I was added to seemed to be tier 1 countries!

[@twostorymediamusic]

Good stuff, Shalev! Yeah, they seem to have a decent Tier 1 audience.

[@ARJaymusic]

Very cool! Been thinking about trying this service but wanted to see some reviews first

[@twostorymediamusic]

Good call ha... definitely worth researching these companies, because there are so many sketchy ones out there. Glad it was helpful!
