general questions

  • We’ve been a record label for over a decade and recently decided to open our services to the public so that independent artist can have the same team as an artist signed to a label.

  • As far as we’re aware, we’re the first label to offer all of our services to the public.

  • Not yet. We ship to Canada, U.S.A & Europe.

  • Vinyl & Gold is dedicated to providing legitimate, organic views to our clients. Our network of real playlists and curators ensure that your music lands in the rights hands to grow your fanbase.

  • You will require a distributor. We recommend Tunecore & Distrokid but there are many others to choose from.

  • Yes. We create real fans for your music which means they will engage with your content well after our work is done - that’s the whole idea. These fans will stay with you long after the service has completed because that’s our main goal - to build you a dedicated fanbase.

  • On rare occasions, a song just doesn’t fit within the playlist we have in our network. If your song isn’t picked up by our curators you’ll receive a FULL REFUND.

  • No matter what day it is, we are here for you. If you’ve made a purchase and we don’t respond within 24 hours, please email us at vinylandgold@gmail.com

 

spotify promotion

  • With the Spotify Growth service, we pitch your song to our network of global Spotify playlist curators. From there you can sit back and relax while your music is reviewed and added to playlists. If we're unable to support your track for any reason you will be fully refunded.

  • Your song is placed on active playlists for a set amount of time based on the curator that placed the song, and the package that you purchased. For example, Premium slots such as #1-#5 on a popular playlist is more valuable than slot #50 on that same playlist). The curator will remove the song at a certain point based on the agreed time. It also depends on how many, and what slots they have available.

  • Unfortunately no, we can't push every song. If the curators within our network are unable to support your music for any reason, you’ll be fully refunded.

  • The exact time of the campaign is up to the curator of the playlist, campaigns can last anywhere from 2 weeks to over 3 months.

  • After purchasing Spotify promotion we require 2-3 business days to begin pitching the song to our network of curators who then require an additional 1-3 business days to review and approve submissions. We work your song until it has reached the target amount of streams. In most cases your promotion will go live within a day or two, but growing an organic audience takes time to do it right.

  • If for some reason we can’t find the right fit for your song then we’ll provide a full refund.

  • Spotify for Artists is the best way to keep track of your songs progress and also shows you which playlists are adding the song. To view how many streams your song is generating in each playlist you can visit your Spotify Artist account.

  • If your song is not getting enough streams please send us an email at vinylandgold@gmail.com with a screenshot of your Spotify for Artists stats and we will do our best to fix this issue.

  • The hope is to always get picked up by the Spotify Algorithm and we have strategies to help the chances of that happening. It is very likely that you music continues to grow after our service is complete. This is the whole idea behind what we do. We don't want to simply push your song, we want to push your entire brand via that song. Consistency is very important. The goal is to gain fans who then continue to engage with your content both past and future.

    Vinyl & Gold is not a means of promoting your song; it’s a promotional strategy to promote your brand and build a fanbase VIA a song. Yes, you’ll attain a considerable number of streams with our service, but the true benefit lies with the fans you gain as a result. If you’re unsure of how to monetize those fans that’s what we’re all about. Send us an email with any specific questions at vinylandgold@gmail.com. Serious inquiries only please.

  • Some playlists are simply more active than others and the activity of these playlists is always fluctuating. Some playlists are new and still growing an audience but getting on those playlists can often lead to other opportunities and bigger playlist support.

    Having your song placed on a variety of different playlists with different amounts of reach will help build your brand.

    Since we would never use bots every song we promote has a unique growth profile and we always deliver on our word. If for some reason your song can’t be pitched to our curators you will receive a full refund.

  • Unfortunately we cannot target a specific audience for your song. We pitch your song according to genre and style of music.

    If you’re looking to get more exposure on Spotify, we also run ads. If interested please email vinylandgold@gmail.com

 

youtube promotion

  • Start by creating a hyper-targeted ad campaign. This means we will carefully target highly engaged viewers based on your genre, mood, and video content.

    We use your existing fan data that your team provide us

    As the campaign progresses we will continue to optimize your campaign to ensure we blast past your minimum view target.

    If we're unable to support your track for any reason you will receive a full refund.

  • This depends on HOW explicit the content is. Showing nudity, drug use, blood/gore, violence, etc will have Google disapprove your ad for “Shocking” or “Adult” content. However, light swearing or brief/mildly suggestive content generally still gets approved. If you aren't sure if your song will be approved, feel free to email us!

  • As soon as your video is live on YouTube we start promoting it! You will start to see results immediately and your song should go over time. If the algorithm picks it up you’re really off to the races!

  • This will heavily depend on your package size. Smaller campaigns can be completed as soon as 24 hours after going live, while larger campaigns of over 1M+ views can take 30 days or more to complete.

  • Your campaign manager can provide basic details about your campaign, such as views delivered and view rate, but for a more in-depth analysis please refer to your YouTube Studio account.

  • Views and engagement appear 24-48 hours after your campaign is live.

  • At Vinyl & Gold we target fans according to genre, style of music, similar artists, demographics and much more. If there are certain territories you'd like to target please contact us at the bottom of this page to discuss a custom plan.

  • Yes! This is the idea behind our service. We don't want to simply push your song, we want to push your entire channel via that song. The goal is to gain subscribers who then continue to engage with your content both past and future. That being said, our formula delivers high audience retention (typically 60%+) and engagement, which further drives YouTube’s algorithm to place your video in the “Suggested Videos” tab. This boost to the algorithm helps ensure your video continues to grow long after the campaign has been completed.

    Not many people have the budget to promote every single song they release and we understand this. We see artists everyday who promote single songs to baseless viewers which simply results in a number, rather than dedicated fans (even if the promo is organic!!). The beauty of YouTube is the ability to engage directly with the people visiting your content and to explain your vision in the description. This interaction is essential to growing your brand.

    Vinyl & Gold is not simply a means of promoting your song; it’s a promotional strategy to grow your brand and build a fanbase VIA a song. You’ll get a considerable number of views with our service, but the true benefit lies with the fans you gain as a result.
