Submithub is all about scam.

All the bloggers have to do is listetning a few seconds on a track and then they'll get their dollar.

Save your money and stay away from submithub

Oh, thaaat site, I think I remember... If it's the one I'm thinking of... I wouldn't pay for that site but I read that's the only way it works, people assume otherwise "submits" get ignored. Darn greed.

Still I found that website depressing and a time suck, and then even more depressing, like a big BURNOUT cause. Yikes. We don't need one big source of burnout!

The consensus on the forum, err chat page? there was misery. Heh.

Actually,
I was just declined on a blog that takes all kinds of music and who has approved (according to so-called "statistics) as much as 92% of the submissions.

My music must be really really bad - right.
Have a listen and let me know just how terrible low shitty stuff it is. :)

I recently released an album this year. The title track was featured in various best of indie compilations, the music video scored me a movie role overseas. Almost 20 blogs blogged about the album. It did quite well. I got greedy and wanted a bit more attention so i bought a couple hundred submit hub credits and submitted a song taht had already thousands of likes and bucketload of positive comments on soundcloud.
I got 100 out of 100 rejections and a lot of negative feedback.
I concluded that it is only human nature to receive a more positive initial response to a song that you have sought out yourself rather than something someone has paid you to listen to.

Right. And isn't that what the idea with submithub is all about - to get paid to listen to songs.

If they where looking for artists and songs they should only get paid upon approval. The artists should be refunded if declined.

But that would go against the whole business idea - and that's what it's all about - the money

I had a similar experience too, and it does get inside your head. It helps reading these posts, so I thought I would post something too. Took a couple days off, and feeling better. Gonna look for more opportunities, but I may not read the comments I get back from curators, as honest as it may or may not be.
