FAQ

Questions, answered

How fast does my placement go live?

Placements begin with the next available SSA Weekly send, typically within 7 days of payment. Website and social placements are scheduled around the same campaign window.

What do I need to send you?

At checkout we collect your product URL and Instagram handle. That's usually enough, since we pull artwork and details from your product page. If we need anything else, we'll email you.

Do you guarantee clicks or downloads?

No. We sell exposure to a focused audience of music producers, not click guarantees. You'll be seen by the producers who open each SSA Weekly, plus site and social traffic during your window.

Can I promote a paid product?

Yes. The Paid Product Feature includes a clearly labeled sponsored newsletter block, homepage placement, social posts, and a permanent Spotlight page. Paid products stay separate from the free-download catalog.

Can I promote a free and paid product together?

Yes. The Free + Paid Launch Bundle covers one free product and one paid product from the same creator. Extra products require another package.

Does the Partner plan include every SSA Weekly?

Yes. An active Partner subscription includes one dedicated feature block in every SSA Weekly sent during the billing month, typically four sends. This is not a standard product card.

When does a product qualify for the Deals Page Slot?

The offer must have a verified regular price and a fixed sale end date. Permanent launch pricing does not qualify as a time-limited deal.

What's the refund policy?

Full refund any time before your placement is fulfilled. Partner subscriptions can be cancelled anytime and stay active through the end of the billing month.

Why is my placement labeled "Sponsored"?

FTC rules require it, and it protects you too. Our audience trusts what we feature because paid and editorial are clearly separated. That trust is what makes your placement valuable.

Questions before you book?

We'll help you pick the right placement for your release.
