Teach Spotify’s Algorithm Where Your Music Belongs** SubmitHub can help signal to Spotify what genre your music fits into, which influences where your songs get recommended. Getting placed on the right playlists ensures that Spotify associates you with similar artists and audiences. ### **2\. Hitting 1,000 Streams in the First Month Is Crucial** Spotify tracks how a song performs in the first four weeks, and hitting 1,000 streams in that time can help trigger algorithmic recommendations. SubmitHub provides an effective way to help reach this goal. ### **3\. Always Use Premium Credits for Better Results** Premium credits guarantee that curators will listen for at least 60 seconds, provide feedback, and respond within three days, dramatically increasing your chances of approval. Free credits, on the other hand, only require curators to listen for five seconds. ### **4\. Be Strategic About Playlist Selection** Use SubmitHub’s filters to **target curators who match your exact genre** rather than submitting broadly. Selecting playlists with an **average approval rate of at least 30%** can improve your chances of being featured. ### **5\. Avoid the “No Feedback” Option** Even if you don’t want to read critiques, **always select “Specific and Honest Feedback”** in your submission settings. This forces curators to actively listen and engage with your song, which improves the odds of an approval. ### **6\. AI-Generated Music Can Impact Your Submissions** SubmitHub now asks whether a song was created with AI. Some curators have strong opinions about AI-generated music, so answering honestly helps ensure your track is submitted to curators who are open to it. ### **7\. Use Similar Artists to Improve Targeting** Adding **accurate “similar artists” during submission helps SubmitHub’s algorithm** match your track with curators who specialize in your style. This also helps align your song with the right listener groups on Spotify. ### **8\. Submit Pre-Release Tracks for Maximum Impact** SubmitHub allows you to pitch **unreleased songs**, and on release day, **approved curators will automatically share your song** to their playlists, saving you time and maximizing exposure. ### **9\. Meta Ads Can Be Automated Through SubmitHub** Running **[Facebook and Instagram ads (Meta Ads)](https://www.hypebot.com/what-musicians-need-to-know-about-submithub-and-ads-on-meta/)** can be confusing, but SubmitHub now offers an automated ad service that sets up targeting, creatives, and tracking for you, ensuring that the right listeners are driven to your music. *\[HYPEBOT: To learn more read *[What musicians need to know about SubmitHub and ads on Meta](https://www.hypebot.com/what-musicians-need-to-know-about-submithub-and-ads-on-meta/)*\]* ### **10\. Don’t Waste Money on Influencer Campaigns** SubmitHub advises against spending money on **TikTok and Instagram influencer campaigns** unless you have thousands of dollars to invest. Influencer-driven content rarely converts into real Spotify streams, making it a risky and expensive strategy. ### To wrap things up… Now it’s time to put these tips into action! Don’t waste your time on strategies that aren’t delivering real results. These insights come straight from the pros, so you can streamline your pitching process and focus on what actually works from some of the best in the biz. By using SubmitHub’s filters, targeting the right curators, and offering solid feedback options, you’re giving your music a much better shot at getting placed. Combine that with a deeper understanding of how to engage with the Spotify algorithm, and you’re on the right track. Stay consistent, stay strategic, and watch your playlisting efforts pay off. **In the meantime, check out the full masterclass below to see everything you missed…** ### **MORE: [What musicians need to know about SubmitHub and ads on Meta](https://www.hypebot.com/what-musicians-need-to-know-about-submithub-and-ads-on-meta/)**
