Do you use Content ID to claim royalties on YouTube and/or other platforms like IG/FB?
In case you haven't heard of it, Content ID is what's used to collect royalties if someone uses your song in a YouTube video or on social media sites. It automatically detects when your audio file is used.

Look at these awesome music Facebook / Instagram ad campaigns I launched this month. Not only did this artist's first Spotify / streaming growth campaign hit $0.15 per conversion, their second one hit $0.17 per conversion (using a different song from their other band). This is with a brand new ad account and Meta pixel.
On top of that, we're running a CD / Vinyl sales funnel campaign that's off to a great start. It has a ROAS of 0.83 (so it's currently losing money) but this will only improve as we keep optimizing the campaign. I expect this to be profitable over time.
Here's a cool stat:
On the sales page we have a bump offer that's asks "Do you want to pay $5 more to support the artist?". They don't get anything in return for this, it's basically a tip. Over 30% of fans chose to pay $5 more because they want to support the artist. This is a beautiful thing about selling physical music - these fans go out of their way to compensate artists they enjoy for their work in a world where all music is free online.
