Creating Your First Campaign

Launch a successful music promotion campaign on SpaceLoud.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

  • A released song (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, or other streaming platform)
  • An active subscription (or use your 14-day free trial)
  • A payment method on file

Choose Your Promotion Type

From the Artist Dashboard, click "Create Promotion" to see your options:

Campaign ($10 minimum)

  • Receive personalized offers from influencers
  • Accept, decline, or counter any offer
  • Only pay when your song is promoted
  • Full control over who promotes your music

Challenge ($250 minimum)

  • Launch a competition where influencers compete to feature your song
  • Set prize rules and reward the most creative videos
  • 35+ creators typically participate
  • Great for viral content potential

Running a Challenge

Challenges work differently from campaigns—instead of accepting individual offers, you're running a competition.

How It Works

  1. Set your total prize budget ($250 minimum)
  2. Define how many winners and prize amounts
  3. Influencers create and submit content featuring your song
  4. After the challenge ends, you pick the winners

Picking Winners

When selecting winners, consider:

  • Creativity - Which posts are most unique and engaging?
  • Quality - Who put the most effort into production?
  • Volume - Some creators make multiple posts showing extra dedication

After the Challenge Ends

Winners are announced shortly after you make your selections. Prizes are automatically distributed to the winning influencers' accounts.

Creating a Campaign

Step 1: Add Your Song

  1. Paste your music link (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, etc.)
  2. SpaceLoud automatically fetches song details (title, artist, artwork)
  3. If the link can't be recognized, you can proceed with manual entry

Step 2: Add Special Requests (Optional)

Add specific instructions for influencers:

  • "Use the chorus in your video"
  • "Dance video preferred"
  • "Tag my Instagram @yourhandle"

Step 3: Select Platforms & Set Budgets

Choose which platforms you want content on:

PlatformContent TypeMin Budget
TikTokShort-form video$10
Instagram ReelsShort-form video$10
Instagram Stories24-hour stories$10
YouTubeLong-form video$10
YouTube ShortsShort-form video$10

Budget range: $10 - $2,000 per platform

Step 4: Create Campaign

  1. Review the progress indicator showing your campaign strength
  2. Click "Create Campaign"
  3. Your campaign goes live immediately
  4. Influencers can start sending offers right away

What Happens Next

After launching your campaign:

  1. Your campaign runs for 2 weeks automatically
  2. Influencers browse your campaign and send personalized offers
  3. You receive email notifications when offers come in
  4. Review offers in your dashboard under "Needs Attention"
  5. Accept, decline, or counter any offer - you're always in control

How to End a Campaign

You can end a campaign at any time:

  1. Go to your Artist Dashboard
  2. Find your campaign in the "Active" tab
  3. Click on the campaign to open details
  4. Click "Edit Campaign"
  5. Click "End Campaign" (red button)

What happens when you end:

  • Campaign is immediately removed from influencer view
  • No new offers can be sent
  • Existing accepted offers continue normally
  • Small fee may apply if offers were received but none accepted

Tips for Success

  • Be Specific - Clear descriptions attract better offers
  • Set Realistic Budgets - Research typical influencer rates for your genre
  • Respond Quickly - Influencers appreciate fast responses
  • Be Open-Minded - Great content can come from unexpected creators
