 Oh, what's up everybody? Once again, it's brand man Sean and I'm back with the type of video I haven't done in a long time. Today, I will be testing out a different marketing method. All right, I was asked to review repost exchange and I was like, I've never done it before. I've never used repost exchange so I can't really review it. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to use it live, right, and let you guys go through my first time experiencing using it, trying to keep it real short about less than 10 minutes and I'm gonna let you see the phases and what I think about it in the process. Let's get into it. All right, so as you guys already know, I'm not an artist. So what I'm gonna do is take an artist profile that we work with. All right, her name is Hadassah, really dope music, definitely go check her out. And we're gonna push this track by the name of my funny Valentine. If you can see, this track was released two months ago, 4,529 followers, no, streams, and then seven comments. 188 likes, 14 reposts. Now I'm interested to see what we can get this thing to. And I'm gonna do it in phases because honestly, I've never used the platform before so there's just some of that apprehension like am I doing this wrong, am I wasting the money? How does this really go? I'm gonna go to 500 the first time around and just to do it like at this phase, then later on, I'm gonna probably try to just blow the rest of the budget but I wanna do it one time just to get a feel of it and we'll do an update with both portions of it. So for this first one, I'm not gonna get fancy use the budget to incentivize useful comments it's already selected. So I'll just leave it how it is. If I go down any genre, reposters must meet the following conditions, preferred genres must include. Nah, it doesn't seem to make sense to include any genre so I'm going to use the track genre. All right, she chose R&B and Soul so we're gonna have people whose preferred genre is R&B and Soul, all right, the genre of the song. The rest of this stuff, max followers, max number of repost, max number of repost per day, average. I'm not fully, you know, I don't know. I don't have any preferences. So I'll just leave the defaults on and this other thing up here, I kind of grazed by it but I did read it one time earlier. The campaign, no, actually everybody might not be able to have that and then they say they have. Again, now in terms of these other, now in terms of max number of followers repost or repost, now in terms of max number of followers repost or repost per day, I don't really have a preference and I don't really understand enough to know whether I should go higher or more. I can put some logic to it but again, this is the first time, so let's just do it, run it. Start with 500, do I have to do anything else? All right, reaches at zero. We're just getting this thing started. Here is video one, phase one. Let's see what happens. Here is phase one of my repost exchange test. Let's see where it goes. All right, so I think it's more effective to put part one and two in the same video for the first time around. So that's exactly what's about to happen but before I even get into the results, I wanna say, I actually love it already, enough. Two, go ahead and say, use the free version of this. It is a free version of it, you can have paid stuff if you wanna boost things faster but use the free version of it and you can get your stats up. I'll put a link in the description below because these stats look like this. I got a change of 227 streams, 22 likes, 24 repost and 11 comments. This is over a day and but I'll go deeper into it in my prerecorded video so you can see what I think about everything. These aren't real, right? And these are 11 comments that got made. I myself made some comments, not on this video but on other people's stuff. So I know how real it is. I've been a part of the process. You can get on the platform and test that out. You'll see how you can pretty much verify for the most part. This is happening real. I've gotten requests and earned credits and commenting on people's stuff and I'm not gonna get into the details of how they verify, make sure it's pretty quality, you know, authentic feedback. But let's get into some other details because you'll see on the backend all the comments that were made because of the campaign and through repost exchange. Your vocals are smooth and well-controlled. All right, there's all this cool stuff. I love this. I can't wait to hear more from you. There's some of these comments that are pretty funny but here's the thing for me. Get more credits. So when I say I spend 500 credits, 29.99 will buy you 1,000 credits. I spent $14.49 and a half cents and got those results. So we're not even talking about a lot of money. 500 credits sounds like a lot but we're breaking it down that I got 132 plays and 11 comments and authentic comments and some repost for $14. When we're talking about authentic, this is beautiful, right? I think it's something that a lot of people should really consider and keep in mind but I actually am running a second level campaign with Hadasa because I don't wanna just do it as a one-off situation. All right, we ran 500 one time. I'm gonna do 500 more credits. We'll run another campaign with Hadasa. Now, if you look at this, of course, you put a profile link in there. You click my funny Valentine, right? That's the song we're running but I wanna do things a little bit differently this time. Also ignore the Sean talking in the corner because that Sean talking in the corner is wrong. I had to re-require the video because I recorded the first time on me. So 500 credits, I'm gonna choose again. I'm gonna leave the enable comments to us on there and then I'm gonna take it back to R&D Soul, right? I wanna keep it on R&D Soul for a reason and that reason is the first time I tested it, I did it on R&D Soul. What I wanna try to figure out this time is what is the impact of changing the maximum number of followers? So yes, you guys know this platform works but is there a better reason or a better quality of campaign that you can get from doing a certain maximum number of followers in your filtering? A lot of that can lead back to simply the idea that if someone works more followers, you post yourself then you're gonna have a higher reach which we'll be back into but even with that being said, you still are gonna have to spread that same amount of credit. So people with more reach, they actually are more costly or can be more costly. That's it. I wanna wait and see what the second phase of Adasa's campaign looks like and I'm also gonna throw another track into the mix because it's not fair to just do Adasa's track. I think it's great, but I know some people might say, well, yo, she has a little bit of a following that y'all have been building on another platform maybe that spilled over into SoundCloud. If you look at the timing of the results, if you look at the timing of the results to the track on Spotify, then it's pretty clear that it came from repost exchange and not the other platforms because we market other platforms to go to Spotify, Apple Music. But I wanna start this with an artist who's starting pretty much from ground zero so y'all can see what that looks like. Stay tuned. All right, so that was my first experience with repost exchange. And as I said, I'm going to keep testing and I'm gonna keep doing these videos showing y'all what my results look like. So you can get that idea, especially for the ones who need to continue to see logic. Some of y'all are just gonna hop in and some of y'all are just going to continue to learn before you use. Either way is fine, but I'm telling you, I think it's worth it, especially since there's a free tier where it's more manual labor to get your music feedback and get other people to see it versus paying any kind of money at all. That's why I went ahead and suggested it. So soon, because there's a free tier where there's low risk, but paid campaigns, I think they're worth it as well on this platform. Go ahead and check it out. The link is in the description below. Repost exchange, I think we're on to something, but keep watching the test, all right? Let's see if I changed my mind. I doubt it, all right? But let's see, I'm gonna do several other videos to make sure y'all are tuning in as educated as possible before you make any kind of crazy mistakes. And as always, if you liked this video, go ahead and like button, if you like it, your mind's well-sharing. And if you're not subscribed, you know what to do. Be dead. Subscribe, boy.
