Sometimes, users either enter the wrong #ReleaseDate or change their minds about the date after submitting their song on SubmitHub ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ It's perfectly fine to make a mistake or change your mind AS LONG AS you update the release date on SubmitHub when such a change occurs โœ… ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

The key takeaway? ๐Ÿ’ก Make an effort to enter the correct release date, and if it changes, be sure to update it to keep our curators well-informed.

Some share automatically โ€“ having a song link ASAP is essential in that case. Others share manually, and with the song marked as "released" but with no way to find it, it can affect their stats & keep the song at the top of their queue without them being able to do much about it.

Why does this matter? Our curators have different workflows and preferences. Some curators focus exclusively on new releases, so providing the correct release date ensures you don't mislead them, which could impact their view of your future submissions.

Itโ€™s been a while since SubmitHub added the free Spotify Popularity Score feature ๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿ“Š And if you havenโ€™t used it yetโ€ฆ youโ€™re missing out on a super simple way to track how your songs are actually doing over time ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

Sometimes, the insights are obvious. Sometimes surprising. Either way, it's free, and itโ€™s there. Have you checked your songs or profile's #PopularityScore lately? ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ‘‰ submithub.com/popularity-cheโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s not about chasing a number โ€“ but it is helpful to see if that promo, playlist, or ad made a difference, and also which songs show good potential and might actually benefit from more of a push in a more effective way ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Did you get a response from a curator that makes no sense? ๐Ÿ˜ก A rejection not explaining why your song wasn't featured? ๐Ÿ˜ค Or run into any other issue, sub-related or about something completely different? โšก You can vent on TikTok ๐Ÿ˜… ... but you can also let us know. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

Tell us what happened, include the song, curator & response in question, and we'll take a look. If we find that something wasn't handled properly, we'll investigate, speak with the curator if needed, and may even refund you when there's a legitimate issue behind the complaint.

If something seems off, head to our Help section = FAQ button in the bottom-left corner, or submithub.com/help. There, scroll to find the Contact Support button. If our extensive FAQ and almost all-knowing chatbot haven't solved your problem, that's what we're here for ๐Ÿ’™

This is a gentle reminder to not forget to remind people of your music ๐Ÿ”„ Itโ€™s easy to put a lot of effort into releasing, promoting, posting emailing about your new song, and then move on. Itโ€™s normal, as other songs are being worked on released, and then life happens, too.

It is especially effective with songs that have already done well before. Ideally, relate such a reminder to something, whether the season, weather (a rainy day pic with a mellow song, for example), a life event, a milestone, a gig, or anything you can think of ๐Ÿ’ญ

A reminder in the form of a story, resharing an old post about it 6 months later/with commentary, an acoustic rendition in your bedroom, adding your older music to your newer posts, or even launching a re-promotion campaign) can make your oldies goldies again ๐Ÿ‘‘

Would you rather have listeners or just numbers? ๐Ÿ“Š Fake playlists might boost your streams โ€“ but there are no fans, no connection... Just bots doing laps. Isnโ€™t that weird? Even with a lot of streams, no oneโ€™s heard your track. It might look good, but does it mean anything? ๐Ÿคฏ

Once you figure out which outlets are the right fit, SubmitHub can really offer a lot. Not just through acceptances, but through the right declines too. Both can help you grow โ€“ through promotion, motivation, and sometimes by giving you just the distance you need ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’œ

When should you submit your song, before or after release? ๐Ÿค” Thereโ€™s no one-size-fits-all answer โ€“ but there is a smart way to think about it. Hereโ€™s what actually works: ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ“Œ tl;dr: Use a phased approach. Submit to some ahead of release โ†’ test & learn โ†’ push again on or after release with what worked.
29
๐Ÿ”น After release: Still valid, especially if the song is resonating. Use positive feedback to refine your next batch of submissions or even run a playlist-focused ad campaign to extend the life of the track.
18
๐Ÿ”น At release: Great for capitalizing on energy and momentum. Just avoid Fridays โ€“ weekends and early weekdays tend to get more attention from curators.
