New Premium Credit Rules

Old Rules

Way back in 2015 I came up with 3 simple rules for premium credits:

  • Respond within 48 hours
  • Listen for at least 20 seconds
  • Write 10+ words of feedback if declining

New Rules 🎉

Going forward, curators will need to:

  • Respond within 72 hours
  • Listen for at least 60 seconds
  • Write 20+ words of feedback

Additionally, the "90 seconds no feedback" option will be increased to 180 seconds (3 minutes), which is roughly the length of a song in 2023. We still strongly recommend against using this approach.

These new rules will apply to submissions created from today onward (August 3rd, 2023). To ensure that your submissions are eligible, refresh your browser.

As part of this change we're also simplifying our curator pricing requirements and adding a 4th credit tier. You can read more about that here.

We hope these longer listening times and more comprehensive feedback will bring increased value to SubmitHub's artists. Giving curators an extra day to respond should spread out their workload and reduce the stress of having to respond to songs before they "expire".

There's still a lot more work to be done, and as always, we're open to your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section below 🤟 😀 🤟
