# MusicSubmit

> MusicSubmit is a music-promotion service that connects independent artists with genre-matched radio stations, music blogs, Spotify playlist curators, music magazines, and podcasters through paid submission packages and a free online press kit.

Artists create a free Music Press Kit (upload songs, photos, videos, bio, social links and more) and then buy a submission package to send their music to reviewers. Reviewers are real people — FM and college radio, internet radio, Spotify curators, online music magazines, webzines, music blogs, and podcasts — who have 30 days to listen and decide whether to feature the artist. When accepted, the artist gets direct email contact to arrange for airplay, playlist adds, interviews, or features.

Submissions are available in one-off packages, a monthly subscription and as direct submissions to individual reviewers. Prices are $15/month for the subscription (15 submissions/month), Best Shot packages (40, 100, 200 submissions for $40, $75, $120 respectively), direct submissions at $1.50 per reviewer (minimum 6). There is no guarantee of airplay or placement — only guaranteed delivery to real reviewers. The service supports 30+ genres from rock and country to ambient, gospel, and world.
