      Hey Andrew, I really need your advice. I noticed, that my Hypeddit link as well as Feature FM link show the following message for Instagram users by clicking on the Spotify link on my landing page: "The website you are visiting is trying to open an external app. Do you want to continue?" I can't remember if it was always so, could you please help me solve it? This message shows only when clicking on Spotify; other links, like Apple, RUclips, etc., don't show any messages, they just go directly to the website.

      Hey Andrew, if I have a whole album but (obviously) use individual songs in my ads, would you send people to the whole Spotify album? Or that individual single? My thought is that people might get more engaged with other songs as well if the whole album pops up, even thought that song might not directly play yet... thoughts? :)

    If you're not able to see your pixel in the menu at 7:32, it's because you need to approve it in events manager first.
    There will be an alert on the front page of events manager that says 'custom events can't be used with ads features'. You will need to review and approve the conversion event before it appears in the conversion event menu.

    Thank you Andrew for all the advice and expertise. I’m thinking that most of your subscribers aren’t trust fund babies and that we are unsigned, DIY artists, have day jobs and that’s where our promotional dollars are coming from. I would love to hear comments from other subscribers and hear how they manage to find the time to create “good” music, release it every 4-6 weeks, maintain several social media accounts, post everyday or several times a day and run Facebook ads. I’ve managed to release 10 singles within a year, with roughly 51,000 Spotify streams total (small potatoes but I appreciate the 2300 followers who stream my music). I’ve been watching your videos and learning a lot. It can be challenging navigating through the 684 videos on your channel so I stick to the most recent. Anyhoo, I look forward making my first Facebook conversion ad. Thanks.

      If you've already released 10 songs in a year, do you feel any of them stand out as particularly high quality? Check out your stats on all your platforms and see which one if any is resonating well and with what audience. Now you already have a product, so spend some time marketing it. You don't have to constantly be in a release cycle.

      @MasterSplinterPDX Год назад +52

      When you set up the campaign, make sure in the ad set in the audience targeting section that you choose spotify as the primary interest, and make the genres and artists similar to your music the Secondary interests. If the primary targets are people that have clearly demonstrated an affinity for spotify, it's more likely that they will be premium users. Also, I've come to realize through a lot of trial and error that the only safe (ish) way to ensure against bots and click farms is to only target tier 1 countries and nothing else. It's more expensive, but the engagement you get from tier 2 countries is low quality to the point of being basically useless. That may not be true for everyone, but the only real engagement I have gotten is from USA, Canada, UK, Germany, Holland, Australia and a couple others

Or a playlist that features a track or 2 of yours, but then is populated by bigger bands in your genre? I would say, in my limited experience, that making both will be beneficial for different reasons. But, using it as the conversion end spot for a paid campaign, I can't say. I've heard of people doing this, and it makes sense to me (especially a playlist that only contains your own catalog), but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it as the final destination for a conversion campaign. Maybe give it a try and let us know? 😁

I recently got a strike and Distrokid kept reiterating that 100% of marketing companies use bots, which is very inaccurate if the marketing company is using Facebook/Google/Spotify Ads. I'm hoping that this was just worded incorrectly by them and that these types of ads are indeed allowed. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

      Hey! For 1 - I use the engagement method and i've found the sales method to be more expensive, likely because its looking for people who have a history of buying stuff.
      2. I consider $0.20-$0.30 a great campaign, $0.30-$0.40 a good campaign, and under $0.20 an incredible campaign. All relative of course though, you should largely focus to compete against yourself and get better over time.

    What ever I do option "When you are charged" is locked to "Impression". As long that stays there I'm not convinced about any conversion campaign to really work. You skip that option too. How come? How to change "When you are charged" option?

    • @AndrewSouthworth
      @AndrewSouthworth  7 месяцев назад +1

      You're basically always billed by impression. The cost per conversion is just the math of how much it costs to generate that number of conversions, but Meta charges you by how many impressions they serve of your ad. So you can just leave that setting as-is, that's how its supposed to be and how it's always been.

  • @teenatownband
    @teenatownband Месяц назад +1

    Hey Andrew absolutely love your videos! I have a question, if you're around! Is the goal over time to run to your ads to ONE particular ad-set/audience across multiple campaigns, or is it ok to promote to MORE THAN ONE ad-set/audience across multiple campaigns?
    For example, I've been running a "playlist" campaign for my discography to audience #1 while simultaneously running a separate "song-link" campaign to audience #2. Both audiences are performing well, but would you recommend to just start targeting the better-performing audience for both campaigns? Thanks so much!!

    • @AndrewSouthworth
      @AndrewSouthworth  Месяц назад +1

      I would keep what works best for each campaign. Meaning, if its the same audience thats best for each then use that for each, but if its a different audience for each then do that.
      There isn't a problem running multiple campaigns to the same audience, as long as its at least a few million people. But you also don't HAVE to do it either.

    • @AndrewSouthworth
      @AndrewSouthworth  11 месяцев назад +2

      It really depends on the performance. You can spend $500 on a song and have it hit 1 million streams over a couple years. Or you could spend $10k and have a song never hit 1 million.
      I think $500-$1k per month is a solid budget if you're doing this yourself. Spend less on bad performing songs, spend more on high performing songs.

      If you don't see it it likely means you haven't triggered the event with your pixel yet. You need to install it on the Hypeddit page, trigger it a couple times by converting on the landing page (make sure to do this in Chrome with all cookie blockers disabled), then it will show up about 30 minutes later.

    • @AndrewSouthworth

      If you haven't triggered your pixel event on Hypeddit yet you won't have the event in your account yet. Install your pixel on Hypeddit, then put it in test events in events manager and make sure its firing. Then wait about 30 minutes, refresh events manager and look for 'verify events', click that and verify the Hypeddit events. Now you should see your events available in ads manager.

If I remove certain facebook output options where a weird aspect ratio is needed it doubles the campaign cost. Is it still possible to just advertise vertical phone videos only in Instagram outputs for $10 per day?

      @AndrewSouthworth  11 месяцев назад +1

      If you're already testing at least 3 video ads, I start with audiences. Every 2-3 days, don't tweak more often than that. Then after a week or so if that isn't making enough of an impact I go make new ads, starting with the best performing audiences thus far. If that still doesn't improve, its probably just the song.
      You can keep testing to infinity but at some point it makes sense to pull back and save budget for a future better performing song.

Should we leave this ON? I don’t really want anything to play but MY music that’s in the video.

    My question is whether or not you are making back $10 a day in streaming from these ads. Or, what are you making back on a $10 spend? I can understand this running at a loss, but I would hate to pay $300 a month to make $30. (That example is an exaggeration, but I am honestly curious)

    • @TheClearMediaContent
      @TheClearMediaContent Год назад +4

      Absolutely zero chance of that, you're 100% operating at a loss on these. The money isn't in the streams. Spotify pays and average of $0.004 cents/stream, and thats before the new shenanigans they're changing to next year.
      The idea is to consider this 'cost of marketing' and leverage the ads to collect fan contact info so you can get them to come to your shows and buy stuff from you- like merch, or the course that everyone who's half decent at this stuff eventually ends up selling (sorry Andrew).
      On the upside, now you have a lot of good data on who's listening and where, so if you DO go on tour you can have some idea of where to try to get booked, and be able to retarget people who have engaged with your ads so you cans ell tickets, and email people who have followed you.
      I say it all the time- Spotify is an amplifier, not an ATM.

      Not a fan of either one still. I've found Advantage Plus Audience just gives you bogus conversions that don't translate to Spotify. They end up ignoring your targeting and everyone that converts ends up being 65+ with interests unrelated to your style of music.
      Same for engaged view attribution. This is a way for Facebook to take more credit than they deserve. If someone engages with the ad but doesn't click on it, I don't want them claiming credit for the conversion if their ads didn't drive them their in the first place.
