YOUTUBE PROMO

If your song is already out, your order start date will be the nearest Tuesday or Friday that is 3 business days from your order.

If your song is an upcoming release (and was ordered at least 3 business days in advance), your song will be scheduled to start on your release date (as provided in your order form) or on the nearest Tuesday or Friday if your release is not on a Tuesday, Thursday evening or Friday.

All promo orders for upcoming releases must be placed at least 3 business days in advance of the release date for us to guarantee we can start your promotion on the release date.

No. As long as you filled out everything accurately and completely in the order form and post purchase form, we should be good to go!

If your video is not released yet and is specifically in conjunction with an upcoming song release, we recommend releasing your video as a YouTube premiere either the Thursday night prior to your release anytime from 5-9pm EST.

We promote YouTube videos every week on Tuesdays from 5-9pm EST, Thursday evenings, and Fridays 9am-5pm EST. (Example: If your song releases on a Sunday, we will promote it on the upcoming Tuesday.)

All promo orders for upcoming releases must be placed at least 3 business days in advance of the release date for us to guarantee we can start your promotion on the release date.

We promote all genres and all languages on YouTube.

However, our advertising platform for YouTube promotion does not allow us to promote videos of the following:

1) Videos with vulgar or violent content (lyrically or visually)

2) Videos with political content

3) Videos about medical information

If you’re not sure that your video can be promoted due to the information above, contact us with a link to your video.

After reviewing your song/video, we will recommend whoever we think we would serve you best, whether that’s us or someone else.

In general, it’s better to spread your budget across several tracks than to promote with a higher budget on a single song.

However, send your videos to use via our song review form, and we will provide our recommendations as far as budget allocation for your upcoming promotions.

We highly recommend promoting on your own channel rather than your VEVO channel. Doing so enables you to grow that engagement on your own channel, where you can post unofficial releases and additional content to nurture and grow your audience between each release.

If you have more budget and are able to promote on both channels, then focus on VEVO as a secondary priority.

We request that you do not hire anyone during the 14-35 day period that your YouTube video is promoted. This ensures no chances of Google flagging your video for multiple advertisers promoting it at the same time, which can disable ads and cause delays.

No. You keep full ownership of your master share working with us. Our only charge is the upfront 100% cost per campaign of working with us.

We do not offer payment plans for promotion at this time. If you are on a tight budget, we recommend one of the following:

1) Promote your song at a lower price amount, then re-promote it later if it performs well and when you have more budget.

2) Consider delaying your release until you have budget for promotion.

1) Share your music on social media in a relational way (story behind the song, do an IG live with cowriters/producer, etc.).

2) Optimize your YouTube video by putting your artist name and song name in the YouTube title. Put your lyrics in the video description. Add pics, a bio, and social links in your YouTube profile.

Set your video as “not made for kids” so that people are able to comment on your video (this isn’t available if you say your video is “made for kids”).

Make sure your video does not have any trailers or acting or non-music content.

Get at least 3 friends to comment on your video so that new listeners/viewers will feel more comfortable also commenting.

As far as framing expectations, you won’t see explosive growth overnight. We’ll likely start to see steady growth of anything between a few hundred to a few thousand views per day (depending on what sized YouTube package you chose).

1) YouTube’s reporting in their analytics dashboard is extremely transparent, detailed, and free. Part of how we keep our costs accessible to our clientele by not charging for any “overlapping” services. We don't want to charge people for something they can already get for free.

2) Many times, a video is growing for reasons outside of our promotion during the time of YouTube promotion. Maybe the artist is touring, or the song got added to a YouTube editorial playlist, or the artist had a viral social media post, etc. Not providing reporting eliminates the possibility of unintentionally falsely claiming credit for the growth of a song.

We do not touch base mid-campaign.

Additionally, we do not touch base for YouTube campaigns post-campaign.

The results from your YouTube campaign can be accessed at your discretion through the analytics tab of your YouTube artist page at analytics.youtube.com

All orders are completed within 14-35 days of the order start date. (Expect larger sized orders to be on the longer side of this timeline.)

For YouTube orders, we do not touch base with you mid-campaign or post-campaign because, unlike Spotify, YouTube orders do not involve receiving curator feedback. You can access your YouTube results in the analytics section of your YouTube channel that is hosting the video (analytics.youtube.com).

Contact us and we’ll hit you back within 2-5 business days.
