Promote Your Music with Sponsored Songs on Audiomack
This feature allows artists to repurpose their AMP balance or use funds from their Wallet for featured placement in listeners’ queues. With Sponsored Songs, artists can precisely target their audience by location and genre, even scheduling campaigns for future releases.
- Get an estimated play count based on your budget and targeting.
- Audiomack’s algorithm places your sponsored songs in the queues of listeners most likely to enjoy them.
- For monetizing artists, campaigns require a minimum AMP balance of $5 USD to start. Non-AMP artists can start campaigns with as little as $1 USD using payment methods like Stripe and Flutterwave.
- Note: Only “non-premium” songs are eligible for Sponsored Songs.

Is it possible to use an External Payment method for Sponsored Songs?
Yes, you can! Just select 'Your Wallet' instead of your AMP funds. This will connect you to one of our third-party payment providers, either Stripe or Flutterwave, depending on your region. Once the transfer is complete, you can use the funds to start a campaign. The available payment methods depend on what Stripe or Flutterwave supports in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Are these real plays?
A: Yes. Sponsored song plays come from real users.
Q: What’s the minimum budget needed to start a Sponsored Songs campaign?
A: You can start a campaign with just $1 USD!
Q: Are there any limitations on which songs can be sponsored?
A: Users can sponsor any music they’ve uploaded as long as it’s publicly released.
Q: How reliable are the play count estimates? Can they change during the campaign?
A: Play count estimates show the range fans can expect to reach with a campaign. In the vast majority of cases, a campaign delivers plays within the range initially estimated.
Q: What if my sponsored song doesn’t reach the estimated play count?
A: First, confirm that the campaign is completed. Campaigns can run for longer periods of time based on demand. You can see if a campaign is still running by checking the Dashboard tab of the Creator app when logged into your account. If your campaign is completed but you did not receive the estimated number of streams, please contact support.
Q: Can I pause or modify my campaign after it begins?
A: No—once campaigns are launched, they cannot be paused or changed. Please double-check your campaign targeting to ensure you’re aiming for the audience you want to reach.
Q: Is it possible to target specific countries or regions outside of my own?
A: Absolutely! You can target at the country level within the order creation flow.
Q: How can I track my campaign’s performance? Are there any tools to monitor results?
A: Glad you asked. You can track your campaigns’ performance on Audiomack’s Creator app for Android and iOS or the website.
Q: Can I run multiple campaigns for different songs at the same time?
A: Yes, you can run as many campaigns simultaneously as you like.
Q: What’s the difference between using AMP (Audiomack Monetization Program) funds and Wallet funds for Sponsored Songs?
A: AMP funds are earned from your music on the platform and can be used to reinvest into Sponsored Song campaigns or to cash out to your bank account.

A: Campaigns go live the day they are initiated and are delivered over a longer period of time based on demand.

A: Users can target fans of particular genres and any country they want to reach.
Q: Will my sponsored song be marked as ‘Sponsored’ in the listener’s queue?
A: Yes, the player labels all sponsored songs as such while playing.
Q: Can Sponsored Songs be used to promote collaborations, or are they limited to solo tracks?
A: Sponsored songs can be used to promote any track you have uploaded.
Q: Do play counts from sponsored songs contribute to my lifetime plays and AMP earnings?
A: Sponsored Songs do not contribute to AMP earnings but do contribute to lifetime plays.
Q: Is it possible to request a refund for sponsored songs?
A: No, all sales are final.
Q: Do I earn royalties on my sponsored songs plays?
A: Yes - sponsored songs drive real plays from real people. They are treated the same as all other plays in terms of royalties.
