15
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.119
he says, Hey, Matthew, Lately, I've been getting a ton

16
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.920
of emails and dms from people claiming to be pr

17
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.840
agencies or radio promoters. They all say the same thing

18
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.119
that for a small fee they can get my music

19
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.759
on playlists, blogs, radio stations, and even in front of

20
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:00.439
record labels. Wow, they covered they covered the you know,

21
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.680
the gauntlet on that one. So pr agencies or radio

22
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.480
promoters for a small fee, which we'll get into the

23
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.920
small fee here in a second can do playliss placement,

24
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.680
blog placement in radio stations, and then also act as

25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.680
an an R person. If an actual company could do that,

26
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.840
that would be outstanding. But you know, there's something for everybody.

27
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.959
Oh no, I'm not you know, I'm not looking for

28
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.519
pr I'm just looking for radio play.

29
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.359
Oh, we do that.

30
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.200
I'm not looking for radio play. Apparently it's two thousand

31
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.519
and six. And I'd really like some blog placement. Oh,

32
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:39.400
we can do that as well. Now I'm not looking

33
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.640
for blog placement. I really like to get signed by

34
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:42.120
a major.

35
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.159
We can do that as well. Just I'm serious. I'm

36
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.959
going to buy a red flag and just wave it,

37
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:51.159
he says.

38
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.840
Some of them are asking for one thousand to three

39
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.040
thousand dollars, others want a small monthly retainer, and a

40
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.480
few even claim to have connections at major radio stations.

41
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.480
I'm sure they do claim all that. So they want

42
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.680
a thousand to three thousand dollars and they can make

43
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.840
all your dreams come true for just one thousand dollars.

44
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.280
One time payment of one thousand dollars. We can make

45
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.719
your dreams come true with playlist placements and blogs and

46
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.599
radio stations and record labels, he says, radio stations. I

47
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:32.719
guess he means radio promotions. Others want a monthly retainer. Yeah,

48
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.800
this is all just a scam. It's all. I know

49
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.599
a lot of great independent radio promoters. And what an

50
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.039
independent radio promoter is that they don't work for a

51
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.800
record label. Record labels actually hire the independent radio promoters

52
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.840
to work a song to radio. And all the great

53
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.719
radio promoters I know do not mess with trying to

54
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.439
get you a record deal or playlist placement. And I

55
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.159
cannot believe in twenty twenty five you received a DM

56
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.240
from somebody trying to shake you down for one thousand

57
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:15.240
dollars to get you on a blog. There are some

58
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.439
gutsy people in this world. I will just say that.

59
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:18.520
But here's the thing.

60
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.919
This is the sad part. They've gotten this from somebody.

61
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.960
They've gotten this from somebody. They've gotten one to three

62
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.039
thousand dollars with hopes of playlist placements, radio station services

63
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:39.199
getting their song service to them. Blogs people still do blogs.

64
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.159
I don't know anyways, And being put in front of

65
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.080
a reclue, he says, I'm not totally new to this.

66
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.120
I've been releasing music for a few years, have a

67
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.120
couple of thousand monthly listeners on Spotify and built a

68
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.280
small fan base here in Austin, Texas. But I've been

69
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.120
burned before by promotion companies that didn't do much more

70
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.039
than send a few emails and disappear. Well, yeah, that's

71
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.000
that's that's the scam. They send a few emails up,

72
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.080
we tried, thanks for the three thousand dollars. Come back

73
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.080
around when you have another song, because I think that.

74
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.680
One will really work.

75
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.560
So he goes on to say, so, now I'm wondering

76
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.560
is paying for PR or radio promotions basically a scam

77
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.560
or are there real legit companies that can actually make

78
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.800
a difference for independent artists. I got to be very

79
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.920
careful when I say this, just because my mom and

80
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.639
sister for the last twenty five years have ran a

81
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.360
very successful PR company, So I gotta be very careful

82
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.839
how I say this. For this day and age. If

83
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.439
you are an artist in music, you do not need

84
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.600
a PR company. If you're doing a book and you

85
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.480
want to get on you know, Good Morning America or

86
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.079
CNN or Fox News, I would hire a PR company

87
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:08.279
for that, a reputable one, not one that advertises on Instagram.

88
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.600
Is radio promotions a scam? It depends on what your

89
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.399
genre of music is. Here are the genres. I would

90
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.439
say to do radio promotions in as an independent artist,

91
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.600
And I mean your song has gotta be outstanding. Not

92
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.839
that you think it's outstanding, not that your your girlfriend

93
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.279
or your boyfriend thinks it's outstanding, or your mama, but

94
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:34.399
like the general public thinks that it's outstanding. I would

95
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:40.439
do triple A, which is kind of all over the

96
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.560
road Americana music. They play some rock, they play some Americana,

97
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.399
they play some indie. I would get a I would

98
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.040
get a radio promoter that specializes.

99
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.519
In triple A. Uh.

100
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:58.759
If you are country, I would do country, but not

101
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:03.160
somebody who's going to service you to iHeart channels, by

102
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:07.920
somebody who's gonna hit more of the local AM stations.

103
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:10.759
You know, a couple of FM, but none of the

104
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.759
big boys, none of the big boys. If you are Christian,

105
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.279
I would do Christian. That is pretty much it.

106
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:22.439
Like if you if you do.

107
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.639
Hip hop, I want to waste my time with radio

108
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.000
promotions for hip hop. If you do metal rock, punk,

109
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.560
definitely not. If you do pop music, I want to

110
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.959
waste my time because you take a you take a

111
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:38.800
hip hop, you take a pop station.

112
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:40.800
This was a couple of years ago.

113
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.279
They were adding a new song to their rotation, a

114
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.160
new song now, that could have been Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, whoever.

115
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.319
They were adding one to two songs a month to

116
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.480
their rotation. So as an independent artist, as an up

117
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.000
and comer, they're not going to even give your song

118
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.800
a time of day, because, well, who do the fans

119
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.639
tune in the radio to listen to you or the

120
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.959
new Justin Bieber song or the new Areana Grande song.

121
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:10.439
Same thing with rock.

122
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.800
Rock, you do have a better chance of sliding in,

123
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.319
but you're gonna have to go to like college radio,

124
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.600
and I just don't think it's worth it. But there

125
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.720
are legit companies out there. But you's gotta know what

126
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.600
genre of music. Now, if you are to go, if

127
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:35.480
you're gonna work with a reputable radio promoter for rock

128
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:41.959
or hip hop, you're talking north of thirty thousand dollars.

129
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.639
And that's even if they'll take you, because a lot

130
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.639
of times, the more successful these guys are, they'll they're

131
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.879
not They're not taking anybody. You know, you're gonna it's

132
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.879
gonna have to be, especially if you're not with the label.

133
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.959
It's gonna have to be as close to perfect as

134
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.680
possible for publicity as.

135
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.399
An artist, I don't think you need it.

136
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:02.800
What are they going to do send a press release

137
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.600
on who's going to pick up a press release? And

138
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.480
if they did, okay, we're going to service your press release.

139
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:14.560
Where's it going? Who's carrying who's publishing press releases? In

140
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:20.079
twenty twenty five, and obviously blogs, I didn't even know

141
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.399
blogs were still around. I didn't even know that was

142
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.319
something that we're trying to pitch artists on about getting blogs.

143
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:33.879
And there's no promoter who's going to make a claim

144
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.600
of paying me one to three thousand dollars we can

145
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:43.279
get you in some record label connections, there's none. If

146
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.320
you do work with a reputable PR agency or a

147
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.480
radio promoter and you are independent and the song does

148
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.840
well and you're easy to work with and easy to

149
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:59.039
get along with, they will when they you know, because

150
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.200
they work with label. I mean a radio promoter does

151
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.240
they work with labels. Your name will get brought up

152
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.200
to the to the right people and that label.

153
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:10.120
It's just how it goes.

154
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.559
I mean years ago when I was an R you

155
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.120
would you would have these rate independent radio guys like, hey, check.

156
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:17.960
This band out.

157
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.960
Because everybody, everybody in the industry wants to be the

158
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.159
one who says I discover them and I got.

159
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:25.600
Them this, This is how it goes. It still happens

160
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:25.879
that way.

161
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.200
So he says, I'm trying to figure out how to

162
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.600
tell the difference between investing in my career and wasting

163
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.240
my money on empty promises. I think, first of all,

164
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.559
if anybody hits you up on Instagram.

165
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.919
I've said this before. Anybody hits you up on Instagram

166
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.519
or x or Facebook and they're promising you the moon.

167
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:49.919
For one thousand to three thousand dollars, it's a scam.

168
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.279
You want to look for any time you're talking to

169
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.080
anybody in the music industry that wants to work with you, you

170
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.879
got to look for stuff that isn't absolute. So somebody says,

171
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.559
like this is a hit song, we're gonna get it

172
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.519
to number one, it's a scam because they're not going

173
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:08.840
to bank their reputation because they don't know if it's

174
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:10.759
gonna go to number one. What you want to look

175
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:12.960
for is when people say stuff like I really love

176
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.799
the song I really think it might do well at radio.

177
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.679
I'd love the opportunity to work with you, X, Y,

178
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.120
and Z. Now, granted, they're not going to do that

179
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:27.200
over DM, and they're not going to put their numbers

180
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.360
out there what they charge because they're competitors.

181
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:29.519
There's there.

182
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.799
You know, radio promotions is a cutthroat industry. So if

183
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.639
I can find out, because you widely broadcast, how much

184
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.759
you charge, then my competition can undercut me. They can

185
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.799
go to my contract with a certain label I work with,

186
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.960
undercut me. So when you're looking at if it's a

187
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.799
scam or not one, if they're trying to do business

188
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:54.600
over direct messages, it's a scam if they have a website,

189
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.200
and a lot of these guys don't. But if they

190
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.159
do and they list their pricing on the website, you're

191
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:03.519
gonna go what. But trust me, it's a scam because

192
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.720
people do not in this industry. People do not advertise

193
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.360
their prices. You can't go to William Morris's website and

194
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.240
find out how much did it cost to book an artist?

195
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.200
Because especially even with radio promotion, like every time I've

196
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.840
ever dealt with anybody in radio promotion, it's kind of

197
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.720
a case, like, what's your budget? And if you have

198
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.559
a radio promoter who really loves your song and he's reputable,

199
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.759
it's what's your budget. I had guys when I was

200
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.200
working with labels, I'm like, I don't have a big

201
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.000
marketing budget. They you know, label they not give me

202
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.360
a big marketing budget for this, and they'll come down

203
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:33.759
on their price, so they'll say I can't do it,

204
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:37.080
but they're not going to advertise their price. So how

205
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.120
do you invest in your career? Well, first and foremost,

206
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.679
you're smart because you have taken the time to pause

207
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.200
and think, and that's an investment because you're not just

208
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.440
like blowing money, getting discouraged, getting burned, becoming jaded.

209
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.600
But I will tell you this right now.

210
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.240
Anybody who's promising you playlist placement, blogs, radio stations and

211
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.080
getting you in front of record labels as a scam.

212
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.840
There's no company I know of who promises you all that.

213
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.039
There's not. Each one of those.

214
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.759
Is independent and the thing is about we can get

215
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.279
you in front of record labels. So now they're acting

216
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.480
as an r. The thing about anar, guys, you have

217
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.080
to understand is they like to fly under the radar

218
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.759
because they don't want to get bombarded. They don't want

219
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:27.159
people showing up at their house, so they're not going

220
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.279
to advertise it. They're not gonna, you know, be hitting

221
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.919
up random artists and saying, I'm an A and R director.

222
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.799
Pay me three thousand dollars as for the monthly retainer.

223
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:40.559
A lot of times when you work with radio, you

224
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.679
will pay an initial upfront deposit whatever it is. You

225
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:47.440
might get quoted ten thousand dollars to have a song

226
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:50.679
worked by a reputable radio promoter, and you're gonna have

227
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.039
to pay three grand up front, and then you're paying

228
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.720
them every month while they work that song. I don't

229
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.960
like paying people a huntred upfront because then there's no

230
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.120
motivation and you don't really say you don't say what

231
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.799
kind of music you do, you don't say where you're from.

232
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.080
So based on what type of music you do, I mean,

233
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.440
if you do EDM, you don't need any of this.

234
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.799
You know what radio station is going to play you,

235
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:23.879
what blog's going to talk about you, what blogs around

236
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:29.080
Still and playlist placement, We've talked about this. Playlist placement's

237
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:33.000
a scam. It's an absolute scam all day long. He

238
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:34.840
goes on in his email. Have you ever seen an

239
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:36.919
artist actually benefit from hiring a.

240
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.360
PR radio team? Of course, of course.

241
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.879
I mean especially when I was in the thick of it,

242
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.720
and I mean, you know, I was working for the labels,

243
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.960
like we lived and died by radio. But Spotify is

244
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:52.200
killed radio, so are you bandcap boys? Spotify killed radio?

245
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:52.559
All right?

246
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:57.399
Radio still exists because there's still a lot of passive

247
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.799
music listeners. Is radio breaking people these days?

248
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:01.039
No?

249
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.519
I think the artists are getting broken on Instagram, artists

250
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:09.279
getting broken TikTok and then radio follows. But on radio

251
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.200
is not breaking people these days. So yeah, I've seen

252
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:16.279
people benefit from hiring a radio team. I haven't seen

253
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:22.080
any artists benefit from PR because honestly, as an artist

254
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.000
these days, the only time you would ever hire a

255
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.519
PR company is when you are on the top and

256
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.600
you want to get your organization.

257
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.000
You work with out there, or you have a tour

258
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:34.600
coming out.

259
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:37.279
But a lot of times these days, a lot of

260
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.440
these news websites and you know, YouTube channels and stuff

261
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.000
like that, like they're making stories from what the artists.

262
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.559
Posts on their Instagram page, on their Facebook.

263
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.440
You know, they've got a new tour to announced, the

264
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.440
artists announces the tour, posted dates, they'll write their own

265
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.879
article from that. So yeah, I have seen I have

266
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:59.120
seen radio be incredibly effective depending on the genre. I

267
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:02.440
haven't seen it that effective in the last ten years,

268
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.840
he says. I appreciate your time. Your advice has really

269
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.919
helped me out recently. I'd love I'd love your take

270
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:12.679
on this one.

271
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:13.840
Signed.

272
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.519
I mean I would say if anybody hits you up

273
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.519
on DM quoting prices, promising you the moon, promising that

274
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.399
they can do everything for your career in record time

275
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:28.559
for one thousand dollars or two thousand, it's an absolute scam.

276
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.039
So good email, good head on your shoulders to look

277
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.519
for this. What a great way to start off on Monday.

278
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:36.759
And if you have a question on the music industry
