Getting started

What Loudfriday does

Loudfriday turns a finished track into everything a paid release campaign needs: cover art, a batch of vertical ad videos, Meta (Instagram) campaigns that are optimised for you, and a landing page that sends listeners to their streaming service.

Each track is a release. A release walks through eight steps: Details, Cover art, Budget, Footage, Edit, Videos, Launch and Live. You can go back to any step you have already reached.

Before you start

1. 1A finished, mastered track as an MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC file.
2. 2Links to the track on Spotify and any other platforms (for the landing page).
3. 3A Facebook Page for your artist name, with your Instagram account linked to it.
4. 4A Meta ad account with a payment method, and a Meta pixel in that account.

You can create cover art and videos before connecting Meta. You only need the connection for the Launch step.

Your first release in short

1. 1Go to Releases and choose New release. Add the title, genre, a description of the mood and, if you have them, the lyrics.
2. 2Pick or generate cover art.
3. 3Set your ad budget. Loudfriday suggests how many videos and audiences fit it.
4. 4Choose the footage, then set the song section, captions and theme in the editor.
5. 5Render the videos, approve the ones you like, and launch.
