Go to bed, wake up with placements.

There's no magic formula really, but here are a few things you can do:

- Most important is to reuse all the emails you already have! BeatStars customers, contact forms, etc. Export everything and dump them into Producerfury so you can retarget them.

- Not sexy but obvious is to hang out everywhere where musicians are: Discord, Instagram, Reddit, your local studio, etc. Interact with people and ask for an email or a phone number when it feels right.

- Use the Email Finder to find artists on Instagram matching your style and size. Grab their email directly if they put it in their bio, or DM them to start a conversation. Bring real value to the table and never be spammy. Don't be afraid to be rejected, outreach by DM is a numbers game.

Due to how the tool is designed, it's not very practical to search by location. But you can do it anyway:

Let's say you want to find small artists in Atlanta. What you would do is to first find a local artist typical from Atlanta and in the style you're looking for. Then when asking for similar artists, the algorithm will naturally tend to recommend more artists in Atlanta.

You would typically use your file catalog to store and tag your beats, like you'd do on Dropbox.

Packs on the other hand, are a group of files with a name. You would typically use them for loops, so you can send a drum kit or a keyboard bundle as a single unit.

Any audio file you want in any format, as long as they're smaller than 25MB. They won't be re-encoded.

Gmail and email providers in general hate spammy behaviors. For that reason they impose daily and hourly limits on the number of emails you can send. We make sure to spread your sends out over one or multiple days to respect these limits.

Contact me if it really feels completely stuck though :)

In general yes, but it's not always 100% accurate. Some email providers may block our tracking. It may then look like an email was never opened, even if it was.

In general, automations are meant to trigger automatically in the background. You focus on making music and meeting people, everything else happens automatically.

But you actually may want to always babysit the automation. You may also not want to wait for the next scheduled run. In that case, you can use the "Run now" button to trigger manually the automation logic now, whether or not the automation is enabled.

Automations get disabled automatically when they fail to send an email for a non-fixable reason. For example, if you would delete a Gmail account in use by an automation. In that case, just update your automation with valid parameters again, save it, and turn it back on.
