@Jesse Peter yeah you do have to pay for these services. There are some out there that apparently only charge you once your song has been placed on a good playlist. Recordlabel will charge you upfront for a certain amount of Promotional credits, and then you use these credits to use their Playlist IQ service which basically does all the work for you. They are seeing some incredible results. Smashhaus is actually more like a marketplace where they list 'Jobs' which connects you with industry professionals and placements who are looking for certain songs/sounds/genres etc. My skillset is actually in buying shares in the royalties that are being earned by artists with popular songs. Say your song is reliably earning you $50k per year. Well you can actually "sell" a portion of "next years" $50k. So you get the money Upfront, and I get your royalties each month for the next 12 months.. Something like that. I do it all the time. There's a lot of math in it. It is so that you can get a quick cash injection now, so you can get into the studio and record another song, while waiting for your previous song to make some money.

@Jesse Peter No no, that was just an example. I am mainly playing in the fractional share trading space, which is generally buying and selling shares which are under $100. Mostly under $20 in fact. You can buy shares for even less than $1!
