Distribute your song to iHeartradio!

It's not as difficult as you would imagine to get your music on iHeartRadio.
 
If your song is played on the radio, you will receive royalties for each play!

tips for submitting music to iHeartradio

 

There are a few things to keep in mind if you want iHeartRadio to give serious consideration to your music.
 
Ensure the sound quality of your music is first and foremost.
 
This indicates that there won't be any issues with the sound, such as static or distortion.
 
Following that, check that your digital file is between three and four minutes in length and is in an acceptable format.
 
Please use one of these formats: WAV, AIFF, or FLAC
 
Please do not try to release an MP3 file to the platform. The audio will not be professional and will be rejected.
 
Last but not least, before submitting, be sure to check the submission guidelines of the sites you're considering.
 
If your music doesn't meet the specifications of a given platform... It won't be broadcast there.

How to promote music on iHeartradio

 

Running audio advertisements on iHeartRadio is a terrific way to attract new fans since you can narrow your audience down based on location, musical taste, and the station they listen to!

 

The process is similar to a Spotify Audio Ad or Facebook ad.

 

The first step in making an iHeartRadio audio ad campaign is to make a new campaign in the site's "advertise" section.
 
You will see this on their main website. The app Show.Co will let you fulfill these ads!

 

Your audio ad will reach its intended demographic if you tailor it to their tastes in music and geographic region!

 

Now, select the URL that will serve as the ad's destination (where will the listener be taken after hearing the ad).
 
Tips for running iHeartradio ads:
  1. Plan out the campaign's spending limit and time frame.
  2. Record your ad with no sound effects for full clarity
  3. State your artist name and where you're located

 

As soon as you approve the ad, iHeartRadio will play it for your intended audience, and you'll get instant feedback on how well it did.

Get Your Own Music Studio Booth (For Under $500)

 

This image above (with the portable music studio) ☝️ is the BEST resource for musicians!

 

It's astonishing that such a sizable booth can be folded up and moved with such ease, then re-erected anywhere you choose using a home recording booth.
 
Buying this $450 booth saves you thousands in studio time fees.
 
Here are the benefits of this portable music studio:
  • This little studio booth is ideal for use in tight quarters (dorms, rooms.)
  • The soundproof booth is useful for reducing echo and other background disturbances
  • The end result is perfectly dry and clear vocals
  • You save thousands in studio time and specific equipment

 

 
The goal of every recording session is to capture a dry, noise-free signal, and a portable voice booth is the perfect tool for doing just that!
 
Instead of having a voice booth permanently set up in a studio, you can simply fold it up and put it away when you're done using it.

 

Ever since my producer bought one of these... Life became 100x better.
