The most transparent place to promote your music 🎵 Submit your song 👉 submithub.com
☝️ If a song isn’t landing, the answer isn’t always “submit harder.”
Sometimes the smarter move is:
🤔 different curator targeting & filtering
🤔 submitting in small batches
🤔 a different track (easier to playlist)
🤔 asking and adjusting your genres
🤔 more specific questions

Did you ever think about the fact that... the best person to tell you your genre might not be you? 🤔
Whether you realize it or not, unless your genre is really obvious, you might be too deep in your own music to classify it objectively.

You might've noticed that most other submission platforms don’t allow free submissions. The one that does requires "gates" – you’re forced to follow up to 3 things (a profile/artist, a song, a playlist). We know this skews your stats and can feel like a bit of a cheat 😕

Do you leave a review for a curator after they share you? ✅
Not just in music – we mostly review things when we’ve had a bad experience (a waiter was rude, the food wasn’t good... ). It’s easy to forget how motivating & helpful it is to leave a review when things go well.

Did a playlist curator feature your song & after a time, it was naturally rotated off the playlist?
Some of you might consider resubmitting it, especially if the playlist was a great fit or with a seasonal tune. If the curator liked it once, there’s a chance they still do 💡

Most artists think the Spotify pitch is just a form you fill out and hope for the best (or they don’t pitch at all, with the whole “I don’t have a chance anyway” mindset, which is even worse). BUT! It’s actually your only chance to frame how an editor hears your song 📣🧵👇

You might feel a bit overwhelmed when using SubmitHub for the 1st time – with all the data and curators to choose from. But after just a couple of tries, you’ll probably agree with FM Wu – once you know what you're doing, reaching out to music outlets has never been easier 🙌💜

Do you have curators you believe are perfect for your music? Or ones who have approved you repeatedly? Or maybe there’s a curator who’s hard to get, but it’s your ultimate dream to get on their radar – even if it takes a few tries (and fails)..?

Similar artists = a great reference for where your music might belong. You can use them in your editorial pitch, or even in ads ("For fans of XYZ"). They’re also important for targeting on SubmitHub, helping the genre match. 🎯 But what do you do when you can't think of any?

January feels like a quiet echo of the Christmas season, with curators, editors, and more taking things slower, especially in the 1st half.

When submitting your track, you'll need to go through the curator list. But have you noticed that for curators you’ve submitted to before, there's a short note about your past subs? 💡 Clicking on it opens a pop-up with their profile & a list of their responses to your songs.

Releasing on a Friday? 🗓️ It does make sense, especially if you’re aiming for an editorial placement. However, it also means you're competing with more artists – not just on Spotify but also on socials and with SubmitHub curators (Fridays are the busiest days on SubmitHub).
