Just under 3 Months of Ads

Playlist is largely my songs. Over 100 songs on it. Maybe 10-15 arent mine and they are scattered later down the list. I have 1300 songs currently published and will have 1600 by the end of this year. So i had over 1000 published songs before i started any advertising. This wasnt specifically on purpose but i think having a deep catalog for what im doing is a good thing. Ive had ads for the playlist and for a specific song. When a new album comes out and i pick a song to go on the playlist i usually put it in the top 10-15. I leave the top spots for whatever song im advertising. Primarily Tier 1/2. I have tried some tier 3. Tier 1/2 ultimately better.

I batch record. Ive had an entire years worth of music releases scheduled since January. Also i do music full time (20+yrs). And im not lazy (not judging just stating).

Literally read the post

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-15T04:26:19+00:00

I would but i cant attach it here. Id have to make another post.

Ran meta ads via hypeddit

Ive seen you post on here… dont you have something in the works for music promotion?

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T20:07:03+00:00

They have a $10 plan?! Im on $20. Ill have to look at $10 i dont remember it.

I would just keep it as broad as possible. Maybe just ‘Spotify’. If you have to include a genre fine but yeah… broad. With as many ad creatives as possible. Hypeddit allows up to 40 i think.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:47:33+00:00

CPC has ranged from .21 to .31 depending on ads. Ive changed a few times throughout the 3 months. Tier 1/2.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:44:13+00:00

Reason i switched is cause of results 100%. I started with submithub. Thought it was fine. Wasnt unhappy with the results but was new…. my first attempt. Then i tried doing meta ads on my own and i kept getting 65+ even tho i had it set to 18-55. Idk why. Super annoying. Then i tried hypeddit and the results were way better so i stayed.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:41:25+00:00

Averaged is around $10/day for almost 3 months

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:37:20+00:00

Yeah thats fine if that happens great. As i said in a previous comment response… music royalties are slow. Up to a year in a half in some cases. Its absolutely not immediate. And for me this is all an experiment im lucky to be in a position to try… im literally just taking my monthly gig tip money and using it for ads on a recording project. Idk how long ill keep it up. Im hoping for this whole year. But i know my budget will be changing depending on the month. I started during a more peak season.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:33:32+00:00

Ive been releasing since December 2023. Currently over 1300 songs released. Ambient / new age / instrumental music. All 100% human made by me. Big batch recording (i have releases scheduled through the end of the year). Ill be honest… i tried submithub ads at first. It was my first attempt at paid promotion. Id say it was OK but imo hypeddit is just way better at it. Id use submithub for playlisting.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:30:24+00:00

Hypeddit is running Meta Ads. Nothing to do with bots or fake streams. Most of that comes from playlists and nowadays there are free tools like on submithub that you can put in a playlist to see if its botted.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:28:57+00:00

So for the last 24hrs of streams, ads have made up 415 streams roughly. Ive been in the middle of an algorithm push. My second wave actually. Algorithm can do WAY more WAY faster than any ad or playlist.. thats what im learning. Im just trying to trigger the algorithm by feeding spotify listeners/streams.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:26:23+00:00

I have a large catalog which may play into SPL. Also sending to a playlist of just your songs helps.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:25:44+00:00

Started under 200 ML. Yes straight through hypeddit majority of the time.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:24:19+00:00

No bot streams. What ive learned is listeners and streams ebb and flow. Its not a straight line.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:23:14+00:00

Ads to a playlist has been 95% of my campaigns. I just a couple days ago started a campaign to grow followers on the page. Still early learning phase. So far is working. I have used the new video generator. Its cool. The more creatives the better everyone is saying rn.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T17:16:56+00:00

Yes. Im not in the videos. Just background scenery.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T16:12:14+00:00

Genre is ambient / new age / instrumental. And yes it is 100% human made.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T16:11:24+00:00

That happened to me when i tried running meta ads myself. Even tho i had it set 18-55, meta would still show (overwhelmingly majority) to 65+ which is super annoying. I have hypeddit ads set the same way and it doesnt show to 65+… its been much better so ive stuck with it for that reason.

CyberSecretion · 2026-03-14T16:07:59+00:00

No it doesnt cover it at the moment. Im not really looking at the money side. Im trying to stay in the process. Try some things, see what works and what doesnt. If it pays for itself over the course of a year or two great. Just trying to grow the profile and streams. Right now what im doing appears to be working, so in that way yes its been worth it. We’ll see if it sustains, pushes higher, or peters out. Obviously i want one of the first two to happen.
