As usual, I've been investigating SoundCampaign platform that actually claims to help artists get playlist placements on Spotify and pay curators to review music for the past few months. It's a platform that connects the artist and curator. Now, let's look into SoundCampaign.
- What is SoundCampaign?
- How it works:
- On this platform, the artists pay to submit tracks to curators for playlist placements and feedback
- Only the curators with Spotify playlists and at least 1,000 followers can earn on SoundCampaign. They can earn $1–$14 per review just by evaluating songs .
- Key features:
- Transparent feedback: The curators provide detailed critiques, even for rejected tracks .
- Global reach: This is actually available to artists and curators worldwide.
- Dual monetization: It's a dual monetisation in the sense that artists gain streams and curators earn cash .
- My Experience: Pros vs. Cons
- ✅ Pros
- Curator earnings: It's very possible to earn $5–$10/day reviewing songs after your account is validated.
- Quality feedback: As an artist, you'll receive constructive notes on your production and genre fit.
- Real placements: If tracks are added to playlists with 150k+ combined followers, it could generate approximately 4,000 streams .
- Low curator threshold: The withdrawal threshold is quite low. The curators can cashout once they reach $5 via PayPal/bank transfer .
- ❌ Cons
- High artist costs: It could be very costly for artists. The $150 campaign yielded only 188 streams meaning $0.83/stream for one user is a little steep.
- Unreliable results: We have seen some artists report zero placements despite paying $80+.
- Slow curator validation: Sometimes it could take weeks to unlock higher-tier earnings which is about $14/review
- Genre mismatches: Sometimes songs are sent to irrelevant curators out of error.
My tip: It's only profitable to use as a curator if you have an established playlist.
- Realistic Earnings Breakdown
Curator can earn from $50–$500 spending 1–3 hours/day
Note: Curator earnings depend on playlist size and review quality. A curator with a larger playlist will earn more money. But the artist results hinge on song appeal and curator matching .
- Payment Proof & Cashout Options
- Curator payouts: $20 minimum via bank transfer (10-day processing) .
- Artist costs: $80–$370 per campaign .
- Screenshots shared: Users report $50–$350 curator earnings .
- Warnings & Pro Tips
- Red Flags
- Artist scams: Some of thd campaigns yield zero streams despite promises .
- Curator bans: Some acccounts are reported to be suspended for fake followers .
- High costs: $0.70+/stream is poor ROI vs. organic growth .
- Maximize Success
- For curators: Curators need to grow playlists organically so they can unlock $14/review tiers .
- For artists: Artists need to select genres carefully in order to avoid mismatches .
- User Poll
Would you recommend SoundCampaign?
- Yes! Great for curators but might be too risky for artists
✅ Final Verdict
SoundCampaign is legit but recommended for curators with 1k+ Spotify followers seeking side income .
