 wow what's up everybody I'm back with another update on and repost exchange campaign this is the second artist that I tested again the song is Brenda again by Sama and if you check this out you can see pretty simple there's some more comments right there's some more views if you watched that first video but let me break down I'm gonna get straight into the facts all right so the first time around if you see the change in results well let's just go to the blue columns I got an additional 359 streams 34 likes 48 repost and 12 comments now after this second test I had 171 streams 15 likes 26 repost and six comments that might seem disappointing all right I understand it might seem like a smaller number and I was kind of you know throwing off at first but then I had to think and I remember all right one remember the difference between test one and test two the primary thing was one I targeted any genre when creating a campaign and test two I targeted a specific genre for those of y'all who might have missed that and for some reason I'm just watching this video before the other video review which all reviews of repost exchange will be in the link in the description so you can understand all the processes all the learnings that I've I've gone through all the testing so you can use it well the first time all right um and you don't make any mistakes no no I don't want to do this with credits where the campaign starting new campaign just to make it clear again I'm just gonna click this Rams um song ah what is it doing all right so I'll go back to Brenda again so when you see this the first time I clicked any genre second time I clicked specifically the track genre so these results don't seem necessarily appeasing but I had to remember I had to even the playing field the first time when I got these results right here that row that was with 1500 credits and this these results are from 500 credits so when you even it out the any genre campaign was 116 streams the song specific um genre campaign was 171 streams so what I did was divide the campaign results that came from 1500 kept credits by three so I can now have it even out with 500 credit campaign so per 500 credits when I targeted song genre the results actually did improve right you see that by targeting just a genre of type of people who listen to your song which seems to make sense right it you will get better results the reason I decided to do any genre with the first campaign in this case was just because it seemed like it was a little bit more abstract that it wasn't necessarily a deep house thing but you know I'm not a huge authority on genres anyway so looks like I was wrong that's an important thing to note though about repost exchange because this is showing that this targeting has some effect it has a legitimate effect and it makes sense with natural logic you're targeting random genres you're not necessarily going to get the same results as people who already love and listen to the genre especially if you don't have a more pop type song so that's one thing but there's more oh and don't forget people when I say 500 credits that is half of 30 dollars half 2999 like 1449 is basically what people are paying when I say 500 credits that's that's nothing all right to get these results so I know these numbers are small but I'm testing right I'm testing so you guys don't have to test as much and test as long so keep those things all in mind but again I've ran multiple campaigns at this point and it's showing to be you know really relative to the song and it makes sense to me that Brenda again although I love the song and I have an affinity for the song it has a lower rating than the other songs right because honestly when I first heard it and my homie made it were younger like of course they had low mixing but you know when you're in different spaces of your career you don't have as high as a taste for certain types of technical aspects of music you don't need the mix to be perfect you don't need certain things and I also knew and understood the background the story all those things made me love it in that time and I still love it but I can't expect everybody else to have that same perspective so I understand that this is the lowest rating song and if you understand how repost exchange works we have to remember these songs are getting reposted we always talk about this stuff if something's getting reposted I mean or if something is advertised which is essentially what a reposting is what a Spotify playlisting is what if you're targeting somebody on a youtube ad is it's that beginning of the song is extremely important to capture their attention immediately and that's something that this song doesn't do because it doesn't start until 40 seconds right this is something that I would suggest people have as a album track right or you shorten the version if you're going to advertise it but as an album track when people are already fans of you then it's a great thing to do but all these results that I've gotten from repost exchange are pretty much in line with any other real marketing platform that I've used which makes me a fan of repost exchange and I'm going to continue to use it until I see something that I think needs to change or that makes me think otherwise and the same thing with Facebook ads right same thing with youtube ads I always try to update you guys when something major or significant is happening or its prices are rising or just something isn't irrelevant but you can still use a platform in a different way I'll treat this no different but I'm a huge proponent of this and I say hey look click the link in the description below check it out this platform is really dope and they have completely free tiers so it doesn't make sense to at least not sign up to check it out right but the platform is pretty dope and simple and one thing well no I'll just save that for a whole another video but let's let's just keep this in mind though so you don't make this mistake this is the action item if you decide to run a campaign all right the paid campaigns which like I said I do I'm a marketer I don't have time to just like do uh hand to hand with every single thing all the time I'm more so hey let's get these really quality results in a fast period of time let's get you to 200,000 let's get you to 1 million but it'd be quality versus going the longest of long ways um so any genre does not do as good as song genre there's some other things that I want to break down campaign wise um well platform wise explaining some rules but I do that in a completely separate video but yeah I mean that's it it's just another test with another artist these aren't even the two tests that I'm showing aren't even the best results I've gotten from an artist as of yet as well there's one artist that I did but I'm not going to talk about it because it's a it's a current client that you know I just don't really have permission to talk about the results were crazy um some very very very good results um so I'm excited to continue to use this platform and that's it and you know
