Hello! Thanks for the video! I have a question...should I post my music in the distributor of my choice 4 weeks before the release and then start pitching for playlists? How do I do the pitching part? Any tips?
Thanks for reaching out! A month out from your release is a great best practice for pitching. Much further out, and there’s a chance the curators may not even listen to the track without a recent opportunity to place it. If you need to pitch your song and it’s not yet available on your DSP for listening, I’ve found that using SoundCloud links works really well for unreleased tracks. You can set up a hidden page on your personal website that links to the SoundCloud track or place the link directly in your press release to playlist curators. SoundCloud links are especially helpful because curators are familiar with reviewing them, and you can still maintain good sound quality. Also, make sure you provide them with a compelling story or hook about your release, which can help set it apart from the hundreds of submissions they receive. Having clear, concise details about your song and any associated promo plans can also give your pitch an edge. Hope that helps and best of luck in your music 🎧 journey!
In the music industry, this translates to artists taking control of their sales, marketing and brand revenue and trajectory. Sounds pretty much like any other strategy unless you have tons of money to shell out for promotion. Do you see it any differently? Feel free to expound on your comment. Thanks for tuning in 📺
