💡 While it's not something to overuse, keep this trick in mind for those times when you genuinely want to submit to a curator you believe is the perfect fit for your song while their submission limit has been reached – and try going through their profile 😉

However, there's a workaround 😇 Many curators link to their profile pages on their websites, social media, or auto-response emails for cold emailing for artists to send submissions directly to them on SubmitHub. It would be iffy to limit direct submissions in this context.

AND! 💡 If you're planning a pre-save campaign, remember to mention it in your editorial pitch on Spotify for Artists 💬

Also, include your pre-save link in your profile ✔️ If you have a budget for ad campaigns, consider promoting the pre-save link with ads, too – this, however, does not always work and can be expensive, so keep that in mind.

A project that pushes pre-saves vigorously is likely to attract more listeners, and the possible engagement can influence their decisions.
Our #ProTip: Remind your audience about your upcoming release with a pre-save link regularly, ideally including a wall post.

What data do you find actually important, and which do you tend to overlook? Are there any additional metrics you believe we should consider incorporating? 💭👇
comment in response to
post
Which metrics do you prioritize? Do you rely solely on the Genre Match score when selecting who to submit to, or do you also consider listenership, average playlist placement duration, and genre alignment? And do you preview the playlists and songs in them? 🧐

Clicking on that button it will provide you with a list of playlists on SubmitHub, along with the percentage of artist overlap.
💡 This can give you inspiration for other playlists and their curators that might be worth submitting to as well.

When on the curator's profile or submitting a song and browsing through the list of curators, if you encounter such a playlist, simply click on its name. This will open up a pop-up window with more data about the playlist, including a button labeled SIMILAR PLAYLISTS.

Sometimes, close calls can evoke feelings of regret, especially if the curator genuinely likes the song but it doesn't align with their curation style.
Have you ever considered that aspect of the #rejections you might have received? 🤔

💡 Whether you're a fan of the holiday or not, it might be useful to share (and remind people of) a love-themed song of yours to make the most of the occasion, or just create a reel of yourself covering a love-themed classic 😉

#Radio might not be as dominant anymore, but it's still a major way people discover music. Tracks played on air normally get (many) more Shazams 🤳
Celebrate by getting your music on the airwaves! Submit to curators you'll filter by Type: Radio at submithub.com/curators 💜

💡 When pitching your song, you can also mention that it sounds like the approved tune to increase your chances of acceptance 😉

Scroll down to find their Recent Shares and see which curators approved the song that was similar to yours. Note down these curators 📝 and submit your song directly from their profile for a personal touch, or search for their name in the curator list (there's a search box).

There are various ways to approach a curator, but staying silent is the least effective 💡

Be sure to communicate your preferences clearly, specifying the type of feedback that would be best for you 💬 Or you can use the optional topic to highlight an important aspect of your song that you believe deserves their attention (it may, in some cases, change their mind!).

You can even update it frequently to feature your latest release (@song name) or your influences. Some say mentioning artists you sound like in your About may influence the Fans also like section. Get creative – a unique About can be a memorable element to your branding 🙌

Your Spotify artist About section can be used in various ways, serving as a small yet powerful strategic tool ✔️ Whether it's a short, mood-setting snippet showcasing your vibe, or a detailed Bio highlighting your achievements and collaborations, the options are endless.

The 1st is perhaps out of necessity, but the 2nd can be strategic – when you finish your song and send it out for distribution, you can schedule your submission campaign(s) for a future date (ideally, not a Friday), having everything ready while not submitting too far in advance.

There's actually more to scheduling than meets the eye 👀 You can schedule a song to be sent to the curator when they're back from their "weekend mode," but also schedule your song to be sent to everyone at a date and time you prefer.

We provide you with recent shares and previews of playlists directly on the platform, allowing you to assess them while browsing the list of curators to submit to. Take those extra few minutes to ensure your satisfaction with the results 💡

It's not just about being proud of your placement but also triggering the right algorithms, potentially building the "Fans also like" section on Spotify, and increasing your chances of approval. You should have some level of appreciation for the curation you wish to be a part of.

📝 Thank curators who approve your submission & leave them a review to be more memorable.
📝 Use features for content creation, and don't hesitate to get creative. Sharing in stories is one option, but you can also create a trendy quote post, reel/TikTok with green screen, etc.

📝 Do your research and check the recent shares or songs featured in playlist(s) you believe your tune could fit.
📝 Don't forget a unique, ideally personalized quick pitch. Mention which playlist you think your song could fit in or why you're submitting to a particular curator.

That said, if you’re working with a tight budget, it’s still worth a shot! A great song can still stand out in the queue, no matter how it was submitted – especially so if you use the quick pitch to really address the curator and tell them where and why you fit 🆓

Plus, the quality can vary since some artists submitting for free may not have the most polished production. And let’s be real – when something’s free, people tend to send their songs anywhere and everywhere, even if it’s not the best fit 🤷🏻♀️

Also, remember to include moods and similar artists in the song's About section – it helps refine targeting, even if the genre isn't a perfect match 💡
