  1. I’ll never understand your hate on meta ads . If you got a proven short clip that’s proven it’s self algorithmically WHY NOT throw couple hindered dollars on it for optimized tru views to grow your top
    Of funnel custom audience bucket

  2. To your point on silo'd music, I still find regularly artists in my own listening genres with enough streams per month to live on. Sometimes a few million. There's no shortage of winners.

  3. Interesting, been doing the exact Submit Hub thing that you’ve laid out, though it called my song a stoner/doom song which it definitely isn’t.

    Will keep at it, and do the follow up part. Thanks for these videos, Jesse.

  4. Jesse thanks for your words
    I have big plans as an artist but technology limitations are slowing me down
    What inspired me about this transcript was the concept of remaking the same video better and better
    The people would like a series where you show results from real artists you work with
