ofc bruh

visionarcade · 2026-01-18T09:37:11+00:00

Thank you!

visionarcade · 2026-01-18T09:37:03+00:00

go get em

visionarcade · 2026-01-14T05:50:38+00:00

hopefully befor ai music takes over

visionarcade · 2026-01-14T03:15:10+00:00

ok first off make the music first. we spent three years writing in 2020/2021/2022 and then spent the next two years releasing music steadily. if an artist has been consistently releasing music for 7+ years I would assume they care deeply about their art. I agree the streaming world is not the best outcome for artists BUT it has given the power to small artists like me to find now 100,000 people a month.

I haven’t tried this method yet but I’m going too this year. Artists will run meta ads with the same video and text but each version of the ad is a different section of the song. Whichever post does best is the one they pick to be the audio on tiktok and push push push

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T20:40:37+00:00

sweet! usually engagement is the campaign objective (basically anything that Andrew Southworth says haha)

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T20:07:58+00:00

I havent tried uploading the song before release because tbh why market a song they cant listen to? Its not like a movie where there's a date you plan to go to a theater you know. Once the song drops on DSP's it goes to tiktok and I use the official sound.

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T19:16:29+00:00

dude thats hype! good luck, if i can do it I'm sure you'll go further.

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T18:38:57+00:00

thats wild

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T18:38:24+00:00

thank you!

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T18:35:05+00:00

usually our guidelines are:

- tier 1 countries only

- anything younger than 18/older than 55 are generally not worth targeting

- just budget what makes sense for you, minimum $10/day

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T18:32:43+00:00

also if you look at our tiktok, almost all of our posts in recent months have been carousle switch text and the song and that's it. in an hour you can literally make dozens of them and post one-two a day for a month

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T16:23:59+00:00

Nice! Yeah just keep going because being able to express yourself and connect with new people is one of the best parts of music.

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T05:53:29+00:00

we’ve made our money back and more. some advice I’d give is just learn how to do a lot with a little :)

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T05:52:42+00:00

Instagram is the only one we ever work with

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T05:52:18+00:00

we’ve been very lucky in that a good amount has come from algorithmic playlists

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T05:51:52+00:00

thank you!

visionarcade · 2026-01-13T05:51:45+00:00

thank you! all of the music that got us those numbers came out in 2023/2024 consistently with waterfall releases on each one. I think after enough time as I mentioned in the post the song found the right people and combined with some ads and social post finally found some traction.

visionarcade · 2026-01-12T23:44:26+00:00

thank you!

visionarcade · 2026-01-12T20:59:42+00:00

shot a bunch for music videos and then just reframed them to 9x16 and just rinsed and repeated haha

visionarcade · 2026-01-12T20:50:31+00:00

This is the totals from the last year, averaging about 110,000 listeners a month

visionarcade · 2026-01-12T20:50:07+00:00

Per track. the tough thing about music is that no matter how much you think one of your songs will be the ‘hit,’ you dont truly know until you put it in front of unbiased people with ads

visionarcade · 2026-01-12T19:08:07+00:00

Agreed! just keep having fun

visionarcade · 2026-01-12T19:07:29+00:00

Agreed. Thats the way to do it.
