andrew! do i need to set up my own conversion type in order for someone to click the “listen” button to listen on spotify on my smarturl landing page? i’ve been trying to set up conversion campaigns but i keep getting zero results or impressions so i must be doing something wrong...my hypeddit link says people are going to the page but only 5% are clicking “listen” which is why i want to set up a conversion campaign - please help!:)
The fact that there's people online that'll charge you upwards of $300 for this much information and you give it away for "free" as a godsend 🙏🏽 and I think you know why I put free in quotation lol

Hi Andrew! You've been providing ton of value to new artists like us. Having a person like you, teaching all the business side of music is a blessing for us.

Dude, this was extremely helpful! As you know, I’ve been digging into your videos lately (subbed as well), and you’ve given me that kick in the rear I need to jump back into FB ads.
You are an absolute GEM. Thank you so much for this extremely valuable information, dropped a sub because you didn't offer a course or any of that BS, straight to the information! Incredible job.
Super useful man !!!.. No questions... just wanted to engage and show some love... this is really gold for artists seeking to get exposure independently AND for labels and managers. 9/10 it is exposure and numbers that fail a talented artist. this is a real, viable, practical solution Big thanks Andrew ✊👊
I am trying to learn how to use the Facebook ads manager in a simple ad form at least I think I am doing that. I have content, so I have chosen my target demographics, i.e. countries age range likes so forth, I want to make sure I am just using it efficiently to do what I want it to do. This video is so informative.
Thanks for the loud and clear info on this topic, very useful! Can you or anyone else explain why on FB at Campaign details only the "Auction" is available "Buyingtype". Everything else seems to be setup properly and I selected conversion., so more options should be available....Thanks in advance!
Hey Andrew! There is a lot of amazing stuff on your channel and you have helped me tremendously! One thing I would like to suggest is to turn down the background music (just a tad). I like the music, but what I really want is to be able to focus a little more clearly on your voice and what you are saying. Just maybe 2 or 3 db would be a great help! Thanks man :) I appreciate you
Really glad i found your channel. You're confirming a lot of my own facebook ad experience -- so it's been super helpful. Also, great music -- been listening. Stay Safe bro!
Hey man, thanks so much! Glad my results confirmed your experience with ads. Stay safe too.

Andrew, do you have a video (Post release of the song) where you retarget those who watched 95% of the original video campaign? That would be extremely helpful.
I don't think I have a dedicated video for that but I do have videos on Pixels and LAL audiences which may give you the information you're looking for. I'll think of making this specific topic its own video in the future though!
Hey, Andrew, I have been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now and just wanted to say thank you for all your useful tips and advice. I am really enjoying how straightforward and easy it is to understand and put your tips into practice. All the best.

You can only use landing page views for Hyperfollow, use Hypeddit or ToneDen in your ads for custom conversions instead. You can however use HyperFollow for your social media pages, and then retarget anyone thats ever landed on the page with ads.

You'd probably do a video views campaign, and then run retargeting ads on people that watched more than 2 minutes of that video. You might even do 2 stages of this retargeting to make a funnel of sorts. For example -> Video view ad -> retarget with a free song download in exchange for email address -> retarget with awesome offer to buy CD & send them an email with the offer

Hi Andrew, great video. Some questions - 1) As I play accoustic rock, do you suggest I exclude EDM from interests? 2) Was your video ad length of 15 seconds? 3) What if I want to put a full music video of 2 mins 30 secs, would it still be available as story and feed both on Insta and FB?

Thanks so much for the help dude! Have been trying to find ways to further improve my spotify metrics. Have always been tempted to go towards the fiver/paid playlist route but im so glad i didnt! Once again thanks so much!
No problem Justin. Yeah definitely don’t use fiverr for this haha. Playlist promotion has its advantages when done correctly and legitimately, but this ad stuff is much more reliable.
Hey Andrew, love your videos and I can't wait to see the results from me doing FB/IG ads vs Playlist pitching. Question that you may have the answer to. The "Estimated Daily Results" do not show for me for some reason, even though I followed your steps. It says it can't be displayed because "Estimated daily results aren't available for this campaign since it has a budget optimized across ad sets." Am I doing something wrong? =
Hey Andrew, wondering what time of day is best to send out these ads for a rock band? or does it matter? i saw that theres an option to run ads between select hours.
Thank you for your very helpful videos, Andrew! One question - Is it mandatory to have a have a facebook pixel code on the landing page when you are doing a conversion ad? I get an error message saying 'No promotion object found. Please specify a promoted object for the ad set.', but I don't understand what that means.
Andrew I hope you can read this! Do you think if instead of just uploading video to fb ads, I promote a post about the video, it's going to be more expensive or less effective?
If you're trying to send people to an external link like RUclips, its going to cost a LOT more per view than getting video views on Facebook. If you want video views on YT you'd be better off running RUclips ads.
Nice work, Andrew. This video was not only informative, but your disarming and instructive nature really shines through. Would love to learn more about what you do and connect sometime. Happy New Year!
Hello good sir! Is hyped it free a good option or should I pony up the 9 dollars a month.., just thinking that money might be better spent on the ads themselves? Thanks I’m advance
Love the way you explain things. I've been doing traffic campaigns for a while now, anyway I can create a look alike audience from all the clicks on all the campaigns I've been doing in the past year lets say??
Thanks! Glad this helped. You can only do retargeting if you had a pixel on the destination. Nowadays I use a landing page with a pixel and run conversion campaigns instead of clicks, and that allows me to make a LAL or a custom audience. You can’t make one off of raw clicks unfortunately.
Hey man could you help me check my music on Spotify @Anthony T99 new album drops soon Issa be turnt ❄️🎸new songs soon tell yo friends thank you much love!!! Stay safe
Thanks for the vids Andrew :) At about 6:50 you mention detailed targeting and you would pick Spotify for example. Sorry for the dumb question. I'm very new to this. Does that mean you must first find a way to have the song Spotify to begin with? I'm guessing you can't just upload a song to Spotify the way you can with YT or Soundcloud? Cheers.
Hey Andrew, does this still work in 2022? Cause you know how FB and Insta changes so frequently. Thank you very much for this content btw. I've been sticking my head in this topic for many years now
Great video man, really appreciate the help! How long have you been studying instagram ads? I just started, I'm doing $5 ads until I find the best one's for me :D
A couple years now, most heavily over the past year or so. Definitely recommend starting with small budgets, like $1 or $2 per day to learn. Great chatting with you on the premiere!
Should you split test in a conversions type of campaign in pre-release? Or is it best to run a traffic campaign first to gather the audience and bringing them into the conversions campaign with lookalike audiences? Please let me know your opinion because I am tight on budget.
He mentions in other videos that with linking directly, you get a lot of bot and accidental clicks that you have to pay for. The landing page is one more step, so it may deter some people who would have clicked directly but it also makes it so only the determined end up going to Spotify. We are A/B testing traffic vs. conversion to see the results for ourselves. With Toneden, you get a cool landing page but it links directly to the song. With a traffic campaign, you can link to the artist profile. We are going to test to see which one results in the most playlists, saves, and follows on Spotify since the follow button isn't on the song page.
Hello Andrew, Tell me is it possible to run a conversion ad campain without having a website ? Is it mandatory to have a Facebook pixel and a website ? I wanted to run a conversion ad by leading directly to the audience to the Spotify link (located on Spotify Website). I quitely tried but I was facing the ''Facebook pixel must be active'' !
You can just use a landing page service like Hypeddit or ToneDen, or FeatureFM, or LinkFire, or SmartURL. You then put the Pixel ID on the landing page service. This is much easier than using a full website.
When you run ads for other artists do they need to have a website before you can run ads for them? Or is their a different way you go about this when you run ads for others? Thank you.
Hey Andrew. Loving the channel bro. I'll try to put some of the new knowledge to use on a single releasing this 25/11/20. Quick question. Since this video is prior to others, would you still recommend a pre-launch campaign, or is better to focus when the single is actually out?
Hey, thanks! I typically don't do pre-launch campaigns much anymore. They can be useful in certain situations, but for most people i'd say just focus on promoting your song once its out.
Hey man could you help me check my music on Spotify @Anthony T99 new album drops soon Issa be turnt ❄️🎸new songs soon tell yo friends thank you much love!!! Stay safe
I've tried both. Twitter ads were absolute trash, and Snapchat ads didn't go well either but seemed slightly promising. I have a video on Snapchat ads on my channel actually.
Hey man could you help me check my music on Spotify @Anthony T99 new album drops soon Issa be turnt ❄️🎸new songs soon tell yo friends thank you much love!!! Stay safe
Hi Andrew! Really appreciate your value information here. Question, Do you recommend choose a countries or cities? This is since I used audience insights and it shows me which cities are match according to interest that I selected. But I'm not sure what would be better.... Anyways, best regards from Mexico!
I kinda feel it's so hard to find similar artists or so to aim for. Most of the artists that I listen too and are inspired by, can't be found in Ad Manager.. Like Illenium lol
Hey Andrew, quick question, can we use the same audience that was created from our Video View Ad’s, to use as our Conversion Ads audience, or would we have to have an already existing audience like you did from your website for our Conversion Ads?? Preciate it man
You can pretty much do whatever you want that makes the most sense for your campaign. You could reuse the same audience you've used before, you could retarget people with a custom audience, or use a brand new audience you've never targeted before. Each has their own benefits and use cases.
Great video! Do you have any videos on creating good copy for FB ads? I'm trying to brainstorm good copy for music videos. Do's and don'ts, creative, ect. Thanks!
Andrew I hope you are well. All your strategies have helped me so much! I got on discover weekly after following your course this week. Are you hearing of anyone else having issues with FB deactivating accounts every other day ?? FB has said that the ads do not violate policies but still every other day it gets deactivated, i reach out and the reactivate in less than 24 hours (5 times so far). Let me know if you have any advice for this as i worry every time FB goes back to learning phase after and CPC go up.
Hi. Thank you for these tips. I get with this one 500 presaves per day at Distrokid with 5€ per day. But now, my facebookbusiness account was deactivated as i tried to fix some problems with ios14... now ive got another too but the "paring" with instagram doesn't match anyway and now my results are only 50 clicks per day...
Sorry for all these questions haha. But for the audiences you are saving. You are looking at the charts and seeing which country, gender etc clicked the most or?
You can do it that way, but I tend to look at the column filter to look at the data across these parameters, and the cost per results across those parameters.
Thanks Andrew that was very helpful! I was wondering, do you think it is a good time to run ads with all this covid situation? Also, what is the goal of the "negative" ad set that you are creating? I didnt really get that... Thanks for your videos!
Thanks! Glad it helped. Yeah I think its a great time, lots of companies have been reducing ad spend since they have less money coming in. That means cheaper ads overall since its a bid-based ad platform. The negative portion is basically subtracting those people out of the campaign. SO you can subtract out countries, or subtract out fans of a certain artist, or subtract people who have already clicked your link.
For me its a weird case because I run ads for a whole bunch of different endeavors, and for other artists as well. For my own music I spend between $150-$400 per month depending on the releases I have and what i'm testing at the time.
Thank you for this information, im definitely interested in learning everything i need to know about doing Facebook ads to promote my music, and build my brand....-Trusno
Hi Andrew, what’s your take on promoting a song with FB ads when 85% of the Feed ads are viewed without sound? Is that why you are using mostly Story ads? I figured that RUclips ads might be better since they always have the sound on - but there are less targeting options on YT and much more expensive, so Im not sure if it will be worth it. Would have run bumper ads if I were to advertise on YT. Have you tried advertising on YT? If so, what results did you get?
just to be clear. and sorry if this is a dumb question. but essentially you're making a "teaser" video for your song? a short video with a few seconds of the song playing and you're throwing a huge net out to build hype. if they like the teaser and watched the whole video you know they'll wanna hear the whole song once it comes out. is that right?
Yeah pretty much. You can also retarget anyone that watched X percentage of the video on release day with your ads that link to Spotify or whatever platform you choose.
Hey man: you mention in this video that you can be flagged for txt in your video... what does that mean exactly? (Or Do u have a video that explains it?)
I know this was a MASSIVE amount of information. Please ask questions in the comments - i'll be responding to every single one either in the next video or in a reply. I hope you got a lot out of this!
andrew! do i need to set up my own conversion type in order for someone to click the “listen” button to listen on spotify on my smarturl landing page? i’ve been trying to set up conversion campaigns but i keep getting zero results or impressions so i must be doing something wrong...my hypeddit link says people are going to the page but only 5% are clicking “listen” which is why i want to set up a conversion campaign - please help!:)

You've got a well deserved LIKE and Subscriber. You did an absolute great job. BTW - I would love to watch this type of tutorial on RUclips ads. : )
super helpful ! is there a way to create a conversion where the person who clicks automatically follows you on spotify ?
Yeah using a download gate and a few other ways. But it will cost a lot more to do it, usually 5-10 times the cost, not worth it on my opinion.
Hello good sir! Is hyped it free a good option or should I pony up the 9 dollars a month.., just thinking that money might be better spent on the ads themselves? Thanks I’m advance

Hey Andrew, have you ever tried Snapchat and/or Twitter Ads?
I've tried both. Twitter ads were absolute trash, and Snapchat ads didn't go well either but seemed slightly promising. I have a video on Snapchat ads on my channel actually.
@@AndrewSouthworth thank you for the response! Love all of your content!
dude! thank you so much for these videos
No problem! Hope they're helping you out

Hi Andrew! Really appreciate your value information here. Question, Do you recommend choose a countries or cities? This is since I used audience insights and it shows me which cities are match according to interest that I selected. But I'm not sure what would be better....
Anyways, best regards from Mexico!
I kinda feel it's so hard to find similar artists or so to aim for. Most of the artists that I listen too and are inspired by, can't be found in Ad Manager.. Like Illenium lol
have the same problem.
Yeah I just put Michael Jackson, and popular artists. Lol

Hey Andrew, quick question, can we use the same audience that was created from our Video View Ad’s, to use as our Conversion Ads audience, or would we have to have an already existing audience like you did from your website for our Conversion Ads?? Preciate it man
Or anyone, really, can comment and help me out, it’s appreciated
You can pretty much do whatever you want that makes the most sense for your campaign. You could reuse the same audience you've used before, you could retarget people with a custom audience, or use a brand new audience you've never targeted before. Each has their own benefits and use cases.
@@AndrewSouthworth Thanks Andrew, keep putting in the hard work!
Great video! Do you have any videos on creating good copy for FB ads? I'm trying to brainstorm good copy for music videos. Do's and don'ts, creative, ect. Thanks!
Andrew I hope you are well. All your strategies have helped me so much! I got on discover weekly after following your course this week. Are you hearing of anyone else having issues with FB deactivating accounts every other day ?? FB has said that the ads do not violate policies but still every other day it gets deactivated, i reach out and the reactivate in less than 24 hours (5 times so far). Let me know if you have any advice for this as i worry every time FB goes back to learning phase after and CPC go up.
Thank you so much.
Hi I can’t add media and I’m not sure why, there is just a loading circle
I’d contact Facebook customer support.
Super helpful thanks!!!!
Hi. Thank you for these tips. I get with this one 500 presaves per day at Distrokid with 5€ per day. But now, my facebookbusiness account was deactivated as i tried to fix some problems with ios14... now ive got another too but the "paring" with instagram doesn't match anyway and now my results are only 50 clicks per day...
Sorry for all these questions haha. But for the audiences you are saving. You are looking at the charts and seeing which country, gender etc clicked the most or?
You can do it that way, but I tend to look at the column filter to look at the data across these parameters, and the cost per results across those parameters.
@@AndrewSouthworth Thanks!
So useful man. big up !
Thanks Andrew that was very helpful! I was wondering, do you think it is a good time to run ads with all this covid situation?
Also, what is the goal of the "negative" ad set that you are creating? I didnt really get that...
Thanks for your videos!
Thanks! Glad it helped. Yeah I think its a great time, lots of companies have been reducing ad spend since they have less money coming in. That means cheaper ads overall since its a bid-based ad platform.
The negative portion is basically subtracting those people out of the campaign. SO you can subtract out countries, or subtract out fans of a certain artist, or subtract people who have already clicked your link.
@@AndrewSouthworth Awesome!! ok got it , thank you for the clarification!
Hello. I would like to ask, how much do you spend for all these campaigns per month?
For me its a weird case because I run ads for a whole bunch of different endeavors, and for other artists as well. For my own music I spend between $150-$400 per month depending on the releases I have and what i'm testing at the time.
Thank you for this information, im definitely interested in learning everything i need to know about doing Facebook ads to promote my music, and build my brand....-Trusno
Hi Andrew, what’s your take on promoting a song with FB ads when 85% of the Feed ads are viewed without sound? Is that why you are using mostly Story ads?
I figured that RUclips ads might be better since they always have the sound on - but there are less targeting options on YT and much more expensive, so Im not sure if it will be worth it. Would have run bumper ads if I were to advertise on YT.
Have you tried advertising on YT? If so, what results did you get?
thank you for everything !!
just to be clear. and sorry if this is a dumb question. but essentially you're making a "teaser" video for your song? a short video with a few seconds of the song playing and you're throwing a huge net out to build hype. if they like the teaser and watched the whole video you know they'll wanna hear the whole song once it comes out. is that right?
Yeah pretty much. You can also retarget anyone that watched X percentage of the video on release day with your ads that link to Spotify or whatever platform you choose.
Andrew Southworth is there a way to private message? I have questions about this process. Lol
Hey man: you mention in this video that you can be flagged for txt in your video... what does that mean exactly? (Or Do u have a video that explains it?)
Thanks a lot man, really helped me out!
Hey Jaime, awesome! Glad it helped
