Pay your important bills before!
I am on so many useless playlists. Only on Submithub, I found a real interesting playlist actually working! SubmitHub was the first platform of this kind that I used. It's also the only one where you can review other musicians through "Hot or Not," earn free credits, and use those credits to contact curators. That makes the whole experience quite enjoyable. I'm actually glad I started with SubmitHub because it teaches you an important lesson very quickly: in a way, you're paying to be rejected. If you're confident in your music, that's perfectly fine. If you're not, it can be discouraging. The best approach is to treat it like a game and see it as part of the learning process. Even so, I'm happy that SubmitHub was my first experience. It felt like losing my virginity in the music promotion world. It prepared me for rejection and helped me develop a thicker skin. I also think it's particularly good for African and experimental music. My advice is simple: try several different platforms instead of relying on just one. Each one has its own strengths, and together they gave me a much broader understanding of music promotion. Most importantly, keep a healthy distance from the process. Don't take every acceptance or every rejection too seriously. Do not spend too much money if you are broke. Pay your important bills before. Submithub has a very interesting options with influencers. You are paying and if they don't accept you, you are paid back. You can ask for Tiktok dance, etc. I didn't try it yet but I will. I worked with an influencer on another platform and it was so much fun, paying only 25USD which was really cheap for what I got. There are plenty of great options on Submithub but you don't find it easily. Take time to discover Submithub quietly. It took me one month.
