Music PR

[Bruce Tang]

I got approached by a music PR firm. She gave me the whole spiel, went over their services - youtube ads, playlisting, press, tik tok, etc. It was super informative and I was intrigued but then she sent me the price list for their services and I was a bit blown away. I mean I don't know what I was expecting but ~ $700 to run youtube ads and that was on the low end of their services. They are a legit PR firm and their reviews are stellar so I'm not doubting them but I was just taken aback. Like I could technically afford it but I don't see myself getting a huge ROI on it. I guess it depends what your goals are in the music game. I am well past the "this is my dream to make it big" phase of my music aspirations. I just want as many people as possible to hear my music. I just really struggle with how to get my music out there and heard so even with the hefty price tag I thought about it. I don't mind investing in it a little but I don't think I'm going to shell out that much. I guess you gotta pay to play.

 

Has anyone else had experience using a PR firm? I've tried some submit it yourself sites like submithub and groover but it's so hit and miss and doesn't seem to really get you any active listeners.
