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.
1. 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 .
2 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.
3. 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 .
4. 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 .
5. 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 .
6. User Poll
