Man. As someone who has always felt completely lost when it comes to advertising their music, I can't tell you how helpful this series and your videos have been. Thanks again, man!
I finally got my money up to a point where I can throw some dollars at ads.. it seems like no one online was willing to give out some game the way you are Andrew. I am forever appreciative that you're willing to share literally thousands of dollars worth of info for free.
This was super helpful, thank you! I was wrestling this process for a sign up conversion ad a couple weeks ago and was totally lost. I got the ad running but only one custom event. The time delay is exactly what I needed to know. Perhaps I overlooked it but you would think FB would mention that right away instead of all the other jargon that isn’t easily comprehended for someone that isn’t a professional marketer or web developer.
every time i search for answers to the blockade in my music marketing journey, YOU POP UP AND SAVE THE DAY. thank you andrew you're the best. going to purchase your course this week
I'm trying this now (Jan. 2023) and it seems you have to have a website URL as an event in your pixel. I may be wrong but I cannot select a conversion event and getting stuck. Does anyone know anything about this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Funny that you're creating this the day I was trying to figure out how you have a custom "Hypeddit Smart Link Click" event. This is very considerate of you.
@@AndrewSouthworth After following this step by step, my link event hasn't popped up and its been over an hour. Also the dot next to my pixel is grey and not green. Any advice on this? Would really help, thank you
Man i just wanted to say that i've watched all your video ! I signed with a Label that seems to be good because they had a good playlist but it seems to be only playlists that doesn't really care about it . I had few other organic label option.. While i was sad , you videos helped me out to think in an other way ! Thanks a lot , and see you around ;)
YOU ARE THE BEST! Seriously Andrew, you are such a godsend for up indie artists trying to do everything ourselves. THANK YOU! Shameless plug, if you ever wanna collaborate on a song, let me know!
My custom conversion still show inactive after clicking on the page. Fb requires rules now so I set a URL for "spotify". Aggregated Event Measurement is automatically turned off but when I try to turn it on it goes to a page saying I need to upgrade to a business account, which I already have. However, Facebook won't let me connect my ad account with this business account. Got any advise?
So I followed this exactly with ToneDen and the action that the pixel recorded was “View Content”. When I got to the step of creating my own custom conversion the only even that showed up was the “View Content” event. Is this the correct option for a toneden user?
@@sagradothesound i think its suppose to be “view content” but for some reason my ads show great results in FB ads manager, but translates absolutely no change in streams
Great stuff. Any other service you recommend that allows you to track Spotify specifically? Or do you think we can still succeed with conversion objectives if we just use a 'Click to view' standard event from all the buttons getting triggered? Thanks Andrew
Thanks! There isn’t really a better way to track Spotify itself, the closest we can get is with a landing page and conversions. So that brings us to ToneDen, hypeddit, feature fm, etc. there are other deep linking options like artisthub and url genius but I haven’t had as good results with those.
@@AndrewSouthworth hey man Ive only followed your tutorials and i logged into my ads account today and it says my account is disabled. Has this ever happened to you? no clue what I did wrong
Ok I was listening to your music and I love it bro... I look forward to getting your course and taking my music career to the next level..Thank you for your time my brother
can you make an updated video on this please? Facebook appears to have changed requirements for verifying a pixel, you're now forced to input the pixel code manually or use a partner.
You can just close that window, and then the main window has the Pixel ID which you can copy and paste into your landing page service. Make sure to follow the IOS14 rules as well, covered in other more recent videos.
You have to force some data onto the pixel by putting the ID on a site. Then you go into business settings and verify your domain, add conversions in events manager etc.
I dont understand how you managed to select the click option as it doesnt exist for me and u didn't saved or created anything before 6:13 on the creation of custom convertion
Hey Andrew, thanks for a great tutorial. Can you tell me why when creating a custom conversion and using 'View Content' (as I am using ToneDen) as my Conversion Event, I am being forced to use a 'Rule'. If I try to hit the 'X' and close the 'Rule' as you did, it doesn't close. It also opens with the 'Rules' section already open, whereas for you, the rule section was closed, so to speak. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks again Sam
Hey guys. Super late comment I know. I had the same issue. I just put my rule as URL does not contain the key word "chococochcohcochcohc". Essentially just a random word that I know definitely won't be in my url
What should I do if my smartlinks aren't showing in the 'custom events' section when trying to create a custom conversion? I've refreshed, left it overnight, and tried different browsers. No matter what I try my links aren't showing in the 'custom events' section. The links are all tested and working perfectly well in events manager but still no luck! Help!
Connected my Facebook pixel with my ToneDen landing page and and it’s still not firing when I open the link in then test events section, what do I do ?
Thanks man, great help as always. Mine wasn’t triggering for some reason and I couldn’t work it out but it turns out it was because I had an Adblock running!
When i try to setup the custom conversion for spotify or Apple music .. i habe to enter a rule and i cant get throught it without a rule .. what should i do? Thanks a lot for the very helpful videos!!
I got to the last portion in creating a custom conversion in Facebook and I got Error (#200) Permissions error. Why is that? And thanks for all of your videos they are so good Andrew!
Just in case you haven't gotten an answer yet, no. You set up the pixel once and you are good to go. I would get a different pixel if you are advertising for two different projects. The pixel/ad account kinda learns who your audience is so if you are advertising for a metal band and a lo-fi beat project on the same pixel it will have a hard time figuring who to target.
hi! I've copied the FB pixel but there is a red error mark that reads Your pixel hasn't received any activity. This can happen when the pixel base code isn't installed correctly on your website.

Maybe I will consider buying the course as you explain all that in detail and it's updated to the iOS update. Thanks again, regards from Barcelona.
If you're sure you put the Pixel on the page, make sure you turn off any ad blocking extensions in Google Chrome. You could also try triggering the link by sending it to your phone, or other people.
Wish u a Merry Christmas Andrew :-) Also, are u placing ads on Facebook or Instagram or both? I believe the video sizes are different? Meaning different Ad sets? How do u manage that?
Thank you so much Andrew! Much help!! I was wondering why you weren’t replying to my question ✊🏼💯 My FB ad account just got deactivated yesterday :/ any tips or advice? They had me upload a picture of my ID. “Suspicious activity”
Unfortunately all you can do is appeal and wait. If you contact support and ask, they'll just tell you to please wait more and that they can't do anything about it. But make sure you have that appeal submitted, you probably had to do it when you uploaded your ID.
Hi there! I'm doing all the steps - using LinkFire - However, I only get "custom event" when I click, I never get "custom conversion" - I don't know what to do.. Could you please help?
Thanks for all your help! But I can't get Toneden to fire. I'm using a custom domain. But nothing is showing up in test events when I paste my link in.
Would you be able to make a specific video for custom conversions for featureFM? Since it’s required to use a pixel on Facebook business account, it seems to complete the pixel setup on Facebook you have to put code into the header of your website, but I don’t think you can do that on featureFM or just your purchased domain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hey Andrew, this is awesome. Thanks for the explanations. One thing I noticed while setting up my custom conversion is that now Rules are required, whereas in your case it looks like it was optional. So got kind of stuck, would you know how to set up this rule?
Tried exactly same but now on Facebook the rule field is mandatory and this custom event always not triggered and inactive. Tried with hypeddit, all domain is verified and normal events are triggering correct…
Thank you so much for your content! How do you get your Facebook Ad Manager setup on your desktop? I use google chrome and my ad manager looks nothing like that. Thanks!
At 6:00 minutes in your video you receive that error saying you've already used that custom conversion. I'm getting that too, but I have different Hypeddit's for different songs. I guess each landing page doesn't have different conversions? In other words, it's all the same action/click regardless of the song/hypeddit I'm sending them to? You don't have to create separate custom conversions for each song landing page? Just trying to understand that part. Thanks!
You can keep using the same custom conversion for each song, as long as you didn't specify a unique URL/Parameter in the conversion. You COULD make a unique custom conversion for each song, but theirs no real need to. I just use the same one for every song.
Hi! Thanks man! You are my guru! Great videos!!!! Question: I created two different links (2 different songs) with Hypeddit. The first one went as you showed but when working with second one, it shows in "Test events" automatically the name of the former conversion I created. The link itself works, it leads to a right song, shows a right time stamp but in Test events it shows the name of the earlier custom conversion. If I now create another Custom conversion... how can I be sure that it actually applies for the right link and not for the link I used in the first custom conversion?
So I think i'm understanding your question correctly... basically you can use the same custom conversion for every song. Facebook tracks the URL they send people to and what URL fires the conversion event, this is how they know which campaign caused which result.
Just came across your channel and love your content! Question though (and this may illustrate a glaring gap in my understanding)-- whats the difference/benefit of running conversion objective vs just traffic to an autoplay spotify link? The hypeddit click just a play and not an auto follow, right?
The difference between traffic and conversion is how FB identifies the intent of whoever is engaging with your ad: traffic optimisation means people (based on their FB activity) who are most likely to click a link (could be by accident or with very low intent), whereas conversion captures people who are most likely to make an action beyond just clicking a link (which in this context would be view content). Hope this helps!
If you don’t have a pixel there there is probably an option to create a pixel. Once you make it you can skip the setup and you’ll get to the place where you can copy the number.
@@AndrewSouthworth thanks. I think o figured that part out. Now just stuck trying to create the custom conversion events. I don’t get any options on the drop down menu.
*Question about your course Andrew!* Should I buy your course to get a solution on the following very niche nitty gritty issue?: My test events don't work, even though the pixel events are firing according to the pixel helper extension and the Hypeddit Smart Link Visit/Click events show in the Pixel/Conversions API panel on the Overview page. Facebook and Hypeddit support haven't helped solve this. I'd pay for a consultation with you but you're not available before my release on 25 march! I've followed the instructions on your videos and elsewhere online but no luck. So would there be trouble shooting support to get to the bottom of this if I join your course? Thank you Andrew you hero!
hey Will. Send me an email at andrew@generastudios.com and I can see if we can hop on a consultation call prior to your release! Try to make your email subject really noticeable so I know its you, I get a lot of emails.
Thanks! Before you start the conversion campaign? Unless you're sharing it publicly somewhere you shouldn't have any page views on it aside from your own.
@@AndrewSouthworth that’s really weird, I don’t promote the link at all, and when I check it before the campaign begins, it’s got 100s views and I’m not sure why
my facebook ads manager looks nothing like yours when i connect the pixel nothing that is happening on your screen happens on mine and im getting goddamn frustrated trying to make this work.
Thanks for the video. Question: Let's say I want to use my own artist's WordPress site as the landing page and have the platform links on there. Would you happen to know what the method would be then?
Same. I just typed in "Hypeddit" for the rule. It looks like everything is probably working fine? Although I'm getting more Link Clicks on Hypeddit's side than on Meta's side. Last 7 days on Meta Ads Manager I have 49 Hypeddit Smart Link Clicks but on Hypeddit's Side I have 58. Idk if that's an error or something @@jdturner
Maaan Andrew your help is needed! Something happened to the ads manager, now there's no way I can deselect ads placements, I only can edit them, but no way to delete them, it's been bugging me for the last several hours.
Hey, I was watching one of your older videos where you used a Spotify Logo in the Video ad to show the audience that they will listen to it on Spotify. Could it be that this now violates the Facebook-Ad-Guidelines since my ad account got deactivated and this is the only reason I can come up with since one Guideline is: "No use of a play button, etc that is not clickable". A spotify logo in the video could explain this. Have you had any troubles with this in the past? Thanks!
You just earned yourself a new subscriber! I have an issue: in my case, I wish to track every click I get from spotify link after someone lands on my toneden page. HOWEVER, it doesn't appear as a click (with the tag logo). The event comes out as "View Content”. Does it matter? Since page view of spotify= someone clicking on spotify? I checked the parameters and it says "content_category: stream" Thank you, awesome content
For ToneDen 'ViewContent' is the conversion event that represents a click to Spotify or any other music service. If you wanted to customize this further to specifically track Spotify and not any other service you could make a custom conversion that uses ViewContent but uses the ContentName Parameter for 'spotify'.
Hello Andrew!, I am sure you have seen on the news about Apple new policy that´s going to in some way change or limit marketing efforts for small business. have you any toughts about affecting us DYI musicians when it comes our strategy running ads on Facebook , do you think is going to affect us too ? have a great day Thanks!
Honestly i'm not 100% sure, their language kind of implies that but sometimes i've been able to launch a campaign using it immediately and other times we had to wait the 72 hours.
Hi, thanks for all this knowledge ! My Ad is Active and ViewContent pixel is working but the Ad doesn't show any impressions. Somebody could give me a clue about why isn't working?
Hi Andrew thanks so much for the info! your videos helps a lot, A LOT. i was wondering on how to set up google ads pixel to distrokid hyperfollow, because i couldnt actually copy and paste the tag to the hyperfollow back end
Forgive my confusion lol. So if I'm running multiple campaigns to multiple hypeddit landing pages but I'm still only seeing ONE hypeddit smart link click conversion, will this work for all of the landing pages? Or will I need a specific conversion event for each landing page? Thanks so much!!
You can use the same Hypeddit conversion event or custom conversion for every single Hypeddit landing page you have. You can even have multiple campaigns running with different Hypeddit links using the same Hypeddit conversion event and it will work fine. Facebook tracks the ad ID everyone comes from so there is no confusion between the links or campaigns.
i've created my custom conversion event but for some reason in ad set when I click the website option, my custom conversion and pixel do not appear! does anyone know why this might be happening? thanks:)
Hi Andrew, I use CD Baby as my distributor and when I release a song or an album, they automatically make a page similar to the one on Hypeddit on a website called HearNow. Will that work as well for Facebook pixel? Do you have any idea about this?
Been going at it all day and finally close to getting it i think... I got through everything in this video and the ios14 one. Now when i am making my ad and setting the conversion event, I pick the custom conversion event we created, and i get this error "This event hasn’t been prioritized for iOS 14.5. Ad sets using this event may not be delivered to people who opt out of tracking on iOS 14.5 or later devices." Is this just bc i didn't wait the 72 hours?
This is giving me a headache. I set up a facebook pixel and when I try to run an ad campaign and use that pixel. It says its inactive. I don't know how can I use it 😅
Man. As someone who has always felt completely lost when it comes to advertising their music, I can't tell you how helpful this series and your videos have been. Thanks again, man!
update for how you’re integrating pixel with ios14 update

Tried exactly same but now on Facebook the rule field is mandatory and this custom event always not triggered and inactive. Tried with hypeddit, all domain is verified and normal events are triggering correct…
I uploaded an updated version of this video last week, might help.
You have to use a rule now when creating a custom conversion, you cant click x on it like you did....any help with which rule to use?
How can I set up my pixel to register the clicks on the test events tab?
Thank you so much for your content! How do you get your Facebook Ad Manager setup on your desktop? I use google chrome and my ad manager looks nothing like that. Thanks!
At 6:00 minutes in your video you receive that error saying you've already used that custom conversion. I'm getting that too, but I have different Hypeddit's for different songs. I guess each landing page doesn't have different conversions? In other words, it's all the same action/click regardless of the song/hypeddit I'm sending them to? You don't have to create separate custom conversions for each song landing page? Just trying to understand that part. Thanks!
You can keep using the same custom conversion for each song, as long as you didn't specify a unique URL/Parameter in the conversion. You COULD make a unique custom conversion for each song, but theirs no real need to. I just use the same one for every song.
Hi!
Thanks man! You are my guru! Great videos!!!!
Question:
I created two different links (2 different songs) with Hypeddit. The first one went as you showed but when working with second one, it shows in "Test events" automatically the name of the former conversion I created. The link itself works, it leads to a right song, shows a right time stamp but in Test events it shows the name of the earlier custom conversion.
If I now create another Custom conversion... how can I be sure that it actually applies for the right link and not for the link I used in the first custom conversion?
So I think i'm understanding your question correctly... basically you can use the same custom conversion for every song. Facebook tracks the URL they send people to and what URL fires the conversion event, this is how they know which campaign caused which result.
Just came across your channel and love your content! Question though (and this may illustrate a glaring gap in my understanding)-- whats the difference/benefit of running conversion objective vs just traffic to an autoplay spotify link? The hypeddit click just a play and not an auto follow, right?
The difference between traffic and conversion is how FB identifies the intent of whoever is engaging with your ad: traffic optimisation means people (based on their FB activity) who are most likely to click a link (could be by accident or with very low intent), whereas conversion captures people who are most likely to make an action beyond just clicking a link (which in this context would be view content). Hope this helps!
@@Efencool ah that makes sense! Thanks for fleshing that out
my event manager is empty so i don't have a pixel code to pick. is there a step i'm missing?
If you don’t have a pixel there there is probably an option to create a pixel. Once you make it you can skip the setup and you’ll get to the place where you can copy the number.
@@AndrewSouthworth thanks. I think o figured that part out. Now just stuck trying to create the custom conversion events. I don’t get any options on the drop down menu.
Im trying to set it up on Google section of hyped in but when I try to verify the clock and it says not found great video it worked for me on facebook
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but my conversion requires not as an option, but as a requirement a rule, Anyone can help me on this?
you just need to put a "."
@@cecelena3144 thanks brother!
Hey buddy! Does this work for Linktree as well?
*Question about your course Andrew!* Should I buy your course to get a solution on the following very niche nitty gritty issue?: My test events don't work, even though the pixel events are firing according to the pixel helper extension and the Hypeddit Smart Link Visit/Click events show in the Pixel/Conversions API panel on the Overview page. Facebook and Hypeddit support haven't helped solve this. I'd pay for a consultation with you but you're not available before my release on 25 march! I've followed the instructions on your videos and elsewhere online but no luck. So would there be trouble shooting support to get to the bottom of this if I join your course? Thank you Andrew you hero!
hey Will. Send me an email at andrew@generastudios.com and I can see if we can hop on a consultation call prior to your release!
Try to make your email subject really noticeable so I know its you, I get a lot of emails.
@@AndrewSouthworth email sent! Thanks Andrew!
Do u guys know if there is any landing page that it's free and where you can land your pixel code?
ToneDens free tier will let you
Great video! I often have 100+ clicks on my smart link before I even start the conversion campaign (there are 0 clicks to Spotify). Is that normal?
Thanks! Before you start the conversion campaign? Unless you're sharing it publicly somewhere you shouldn't have any page views on it aside from your own.
@@AndrewSouthworth that’s really weird, I don’t promote the link at all, and when I check it before the campaign begins, it’s got 100s views and I’m not sure why
Does this work for google ads conversions using google analytics?
my facebook ads manager looks nothing like yours when i connect the pixel nothing that is happening on your screen happens on mine and im getting goddamn frustrated trying to make this work.
How do you make a conversion event for the landing page
Thanks for the video. Question: Let's say I want to use my own artist's WordPress site as the landing page and have the platform links on there. Would you happen to know what the method would be then?
Does this still work/is up to date? I want to switch to Hypeddit. We don’t need a custom domain anymore right?
Yeah you don’t need a custom domain anymore. The pixel setup should be the same though.
Awesome! Thank you so much for responding
Can confirm that it STILL only works on Chrome, very annoying.
@@AndrewSouthworthwhen setting up my conversion, I actually have to specify a rule. It isn't optional as shown in the video.
Same. I just typed in "Hypeddit" for the rule. It looks like everything is probably working fine? Although I'm getting more Link Clicks on Hypeddit's side than on Meta's side. Last 7 days on Meta Ads Manager I have 49 Hypeddit Smart Link Clicks but on Hypeddit's Side I have 58. Idk if that's an error or something @@jdturner
Maaan Andrew your help is needed! Something happened to the ads manager, now there's no way I can deselect ads placements, I only can edit them, but no way to delete them, it's been bugging me for the last several hours.
Hey, I was watching one of your older videos where you used a Spotify Logo in the Video ad to show the audience that they will listen to it on Spotify. Could it be that this now violates the Facebook-Ad-Guidelines since my ad account got deactivated and this is the only reason I can come up with since one Guideline is: "No use of a play button, etc that is not clickable". A spotify logo in the video could explain this. Have you had any troubles with this in the past? Thanks!
You just earned yourself a new subscriber! I have an issue: in my case, I wish to track every click I get from spotify link after someone lands on my toneden page.
HOWEVER, it doesn't appear as a click (with the tag logo). The event comes out as "View Content”.
Does it matter? Since page view of spotify= someone clicking on spotify? I checked the parameters and it says "content_category: stream"
Thank you, awesome content
For ToneDen 'ViewContent' is the conversion event that represents a click to Spotify or any other music service. If you wanted to customize this further to specifically track Spotify and not any other service you could make a custom conversion that uses ViewContent but uses the ContentName Parameter for 'spotify'.
Hello Andrew!, I am sure you have seen on the news about Apple new policy that´s going to in some way change or limit marketing efforts for small business. have you any toughts about affecting us DYI musicians when it comes our strategy running ads on Facebook , do you think is going to affect us too ? have a great day Thanks!
Does it take 72 hours for the website event to be useable on an ad?
Honestly i'm not 100% sure, their language kind of implies that but sometimes i've been able to launch a campaign using it immediately and other times we had to wait the 72 hours.
Hi, thanks for all this knowledge ! My Ad is Active and ViewContent pixel is working but the Ad doesn't show any impressions. Somebody could give me a clue about why isn't working?
Hi Andrew thanks so much for the info! your videos helps a lot, A LOT.
i was wondering on how to set up google ads pixel to distrokid hyperfollow, because i couldnt actually copy and paste the tag to the hyperfollow back end
Forgive my confusion lol. So if I'm running multiple campaigns to multiple hypeddit landing pages but I'm still only seeing ONE hypeddit smart link click conversion, will this work for all of the landing pages? Or will I need a specific conversion event for each landing page? Thanks so much!!
You can use the same Hypeddit conversion event or custom conversion for every single Hypeddit landing page you have. You can even have multiple campaigns running with different Hypeddit links using the same Hypeddit conversion event and it will work fine.
Facebook tracks the ad ID everyone comes from so there is no confusion between the links or campaigns.
@@AndrewSouthworth you're a savior haha.
i've created my custom conversion event but for some reason in ad set when I click the website option, my custom conversion and pixel do not appear! does anyone know why this might be happening? thanks:)
same issue
Hi Andrew, I use CD Baby as my distributor and when I release a song or an album, they automatically make a page similar to the one on Hypeddit on a website called HearNow. Will that work as well for Facebook pixel? Do you have any idea about this?
Due to the new ios14 changes I can't run conversion campaigns through Hypeddit, help Andrew!, pleaase
Been going at it all day and finally close to getting it i think... I got through everything in this video and the ios14 one.
Now when i am making my ad and setting the conversion event, I pick the custom conversion event we created, and i get this error "This event hasn’t been prioritized for iOS 14.5. Ad sets using this event may not be delivered to people who opt out of tracking on iOS 14.5 or later devices."
Is this just bc i didn't wait the 72 hours?
It sounds like you didn’t go to aggregated event measurement and assign your event to your domain. That’s where I would start.
Facebook blocked my Adaccount after launching a hypeddit landing page. That sucks
My facebook ad says "in revision" since I done it 1 day ago. Is this normal? To take so long for facebook to aprove it?
Yep! I've once had to wait 2 days for FB to approve
This is giving me a headache. I set up a facebook pixel and when I try to run an ad campaign and use that pixel. It says its inactive. I don't know how can I use it 😅
