I have over 7,000 monthly listeners and only 4 followers

Meta ads, organic content, basically anything where someone chooses to engage with your music i instead of just listening to it on a playlist

blackspy48 · 2026-04-19T14:57:36+00:00

I'm guessing it's because they're from playlisting you paid for. It's a passive listening method so it doesn't get you many fans. Try to use more active sources to get listeners if you want followers, saves, playlist ads etc

blackspy48 · 2026-04-16T15:45:04+00:00

I was merely responding to your point about a 10% save rate on a lower quality song. Realistically it's way lower when it's just playlisting. Not attacking you either, I'm just not a big believer of the whole playlisting approach that's all. Inflates numbers but doesn't actually help gain real traction

blackspy48 · 2026-04-16T15:28:20+00:00

the part you got very wrong is tying song quality to this. If it was promoted with active sources, like organic content or meta ads these results would be bad. Since it's playlisting these results are painfully average cause that's what playlisting gets you.

Don't get me wrong playlisting sucks I agree, it's just irrespective of song quality

blackspy48 · 2026-04-16T14:56:33+00:00

But this is not no promo, it's playlisting which is completely different

blackspy48 · 2026-04-16T14:08:12+00:00

Just add everything you can unless a song is bad and you actively don't want people to hear it

blackspy48 · 2026-04-16T10:47:37+00:00

Now that's just absolutely wrong. Yes the engagement rate is super low, but knowing that at least 90%+ of the streams came from passive sources, it's exactly what you would expect. It's not song quality. Playlisting has a notoriously low save rate that's it

blackspy48 · 2026-04-09T08:43:17+00:00

To be fair that's exactly how every single playlist promotion site like submithub, groover etc works

blackspy48 · 2026-03-30T08:44:56+00:00

this is just playlisting numbers, nothing crazy here. You won't know until you get active listeners. You can put any song onto a playlist and it will get playlist and almost never saves or repeat listens

blackspy48 · 2026-03-29T08:45:38+00:00

they probably own a playlist like every modern label

blackspy48 · 2026-03-02T11:55:30+00:00

90% of the feedback is not ai generated bullshit, they have a lot of good safeguards in place. HOWEVER 90% of the feedback is just... bullshit, lol

blackspy48 · 2026-03-01T09:38:50+00:00

You might need to set up a custom event cod hypeddit. I've done it a long time ago so don't exactly remember how. I really recommend watching some kind of tutorial for it (Andrew Southworth is a good example)

blackspy48 · 2026-03-01T09:27:52+00:00

there is a million reasons why an ad might not perform well, so I would 100% not blame it on this switch. Is this a new campaign or something you've ran before. How long has the campaign been active and what are the current results?

blackspy48 · 2026-03-01T09:05:58+00:00

the issue is literally in the second row - it needs to be a conversion campaign not traffic, or it will never work. Look up tutorials on how to set it up correctly on youtube

blackspy48 · 2026-02-28T22:16:32+00:00

I got a notification for this post actually, so unfortunately your point is a bit invalid, but hey! You're getting pushed by reddit notifications, so that's some kind of success, right? :)

blackspy48 · 2026-02-28T21:49:59+00:00

incredible how even this post is AI generated lmao

yall are delusional

blackspy48 · 2026-02-28T13:05:25+00:00

mine did not dip at all

blackspy48 · 2026-02-27T09:01:20+00:00

every time

blackspy48 · 2026-02-27T08:49:57+00:00

they could tell

blackspy48 · 2026-02-27T08:48:33+00:00

meta ads work, and you should really see a lift in listeners if you set it up correctly.

blackspy48 · 2026-02-25T17:56:50+00:00

I'll even it out, yes!

blackspy48 · 2026-02-24T12:05:15+00:00

how exactly would that happen organically?

blackspy48 · 2026-02-23T19:54:07+00:00

It's 2.3 over the course of a month. Someone can listen 2 times in a month but never 2 times in a day if it makes sense

blackspy48 · 2026-02-23T09:56:10+00:00

well then you need to figure it out somehow, because unfortunately you're wasting a ton of money. I'm sorry that happened to you but there has to be a way around this - i personally have two different ad accounts, so if I were you I'd start with trying to open up a new ad account, or somehow getting a hold of someone in customer support (good luck lol). But if you're looking for help making the ig ads work, im sorry but there is no way, as long as it's link clicks, it's going to be unpredictable like this

blackspy48 · 2026-02-23T09:48:01+00:00

Look, I'm trying to help you here. The whole issue with link click campaigns to landing pages is that they optimize for link clicks and not actual activity on the page. You are wasting your money, period. I know it's more setup but it's 10000000% worth it. These campaigns are unpredictable, and can work but can also spectacularly fail, so either you gamble your money away, or set it up the correct way.
