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
- Set your total prize budget ($250 minimum)
- Define how many winners and prize amounts
- Influencers create and submit content featuring your song
- 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
- Paste your music link (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, etc.)
- SpaceLoud automatically fetches song details (title, artist, artwork)
- 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:
| Platform | Content Type | Min Budget |
