Playlist curation demands a significant investment of time. SubmitHub offer tools and insights to enable more efficient playlist management. For instance, within 2-3 clicks, you can listen to a song, approve it (or decline it), schedule it to be shared in a playlist, and set a date for it to be automatically removed without ever having left the SubmitHub ecosystem! Sounds neat, huh? We'll explain more, below.
Connecting your curator profile to Spotify’s API takes just a few clicks and gives you access to features that we think you'll really enjoy. Here are a few of them:
This schedule can be altered later on if you change your mind and want to keep the song in for a longer, or shorter time. You can even change the position of the songs right here on SubmitHub.
Beyond the playlisting automations and scheduling, our curators can benefit from our free smart link/landing page tool: SubmitHub Links.
Our completely free smart link tool is known for its super fast loading times. It's also easy to set up. You can create custom single-link or multi-link landing pages for your playlists, blog or blog posts, YouTube compilation, or just single videos, and much more (including products of any kind). SubmitHub Links was coded with Meta ads in mind (but can, of course, work for any other marketing campaign as well as “link in bio” use). For Meta ads and conversion (“Sales” or “Engagement”) goals, SubmitHub Links offer Meta API integration, and we use that information to show the curator quite a lot of data, locally. You can easily compare the data to your playlist's growth, allowing you to measure the effectiveness of your promotional efforts.
And that’s not all – SubmitHub playlisters promoting a playlist with SubmitHub Links get a fancy badge showing the potential submitters their playlists are organically grown with ads, and thus, credible. Artists look for these badges when deciding who to send to!

Andrew Southworth also did a great video highlighting them as the best free smart link tool:
SubmitHub prides itself on providing users with loads of useful data. Bloggers and playlisters can track their following and profile growth, analyze listener demographics, and even check certain audio analysis metrics of the music on their playlists. Curators can monitor trends in their submission numbers as well as earnings in charts.
Where available, we provide our curators (as well as submitters) with public data directly under the playlist in question. This includes the number of listeners, and also stream ratios. Additionally, curators and users can preview the genres, tempo, energy, danceability, and average song duration in the playlist.
Did you know that if you're both a curator and an artist, or if you have access to other artist(s) Spotify for Artists, you can ensure your listener numbers are more accurate by adding Jason as a reader? If you're interested in doing this, learn how here.
You learn a lot about yourself when you see it plainly before you. Sometimes, you may not even realize you're into really dance-y or very mellow tracks until you see them. This can also help you understand how to set up your ads better and who else to target.
The #bloggers chatroom is one of the best places to keep up with like-minded curators about trends in the music industry. Think of it as SubmitHub's exclusive Discord. If you’re a curator, make sure to visit #bloggers semi-regularly for the inside scoop about pretty much everything regarding life as a curator / music professional.
As a curator, you might also find the #ads chatroom super helpful to talk through promotion ideas or to help improve your ad-based strategies.
Curators who use SubmitHub share loads of insights in both these chatrooms; Many of which have been implemented on the site – yes, our CEO and SubmitHub coder, Jason, is everpresent and communicative in our chatrooms.
A little Easter egg for you: try checking out our unique GIFs – when picking out a GIF in one of our chatrooms, insert #shgif into the search box. Have fun!
The more you use SubmitHub, the more effective you’re going to be with it. This applies to artists promoting their releases, as well as curators. There’s a lot to learn and use to make your curation process more streamlined. By leveraging the different features of SubmitHub’s curator toolkit, you might be surprised at how much easier your workflow can become. In addition, there's the option to connect with a one-of-a-kind community that offers valuable insights into curation and life as a curator. All within a single platform... ours 😉.
P.S. If you're not a curator on SubmitHub yet and you've got a playlist with upwards of 1,000 legitimately gathered followers, go apply here.
