Below you will find a more comprehensive guide on how to earn and spend your first credits. The rest of the articles in this knowledge base will give you a better understanding of how the platform works and a more in-depth overview of its features!
Earning your first credits
Credits are the 'currency' of Repost Exchange. You can earn credits by reposting music from fellow members and contributing to the community in other ways. There are several ways to earn credits, you check out our in-depth article on credits here. However, in this article we will highlight three of the most common ways to earn credits.
Earning Credits through Repost Campaigns:
Check out the Browse Campaigns page.
Listen to tracks posted as campaigns by other members.
Repost the tracks you like and earn credits each time.
How much you earn depends on how many followers you have.
In general you can earn 1 credit for every 100 followers you have.
You are able to repost up to 10 tracks per 12 hours. Choose wisely!
You must leave reposts on your SoundCloud page for 48 hours.
You can learn more about Repost Campaigns here.
Earning Credits through Direct Repost Requests:
Members can directly request a repost from you if they feel you might enjoy their track and that it would be suitable for your audience.
You have 24 hours to accept a request before it times out and then the credits are refunded to the submitter.
You are welcome to reject requests and we encourage this if you don’t think the track is suitable (or you simply don’t like it).
When rejecting a track you can optionally leave some feedback for the member.
When reposting you will earn credits and can optionally like the track, follow the artist and leave a comment on SoundCloud (which sometimes earns you even more credits).
You can learn more about Direct Repost Requests here.
Earning Credits through Feedback Campaigns:
Check out the Feedback Campaigns page.
Provide honest, detailed, and knowledgeable feedback on tracks in the list and earn credits.
How many credits you earn per feedback response depends on your average feedback rating.
Your average feedback rating is an indicator of the objective quality of your feedback - it will increase when a response receives a high rating, and it will decrease when a poor rating is received.
The higher your average feedback rating, the more credits you will earn per feedback response.
You can learn more about Feedback Campaigns here.
Spending your first Credits
There are various ways to spend your credits on RepostExchange. In this article we will highlight three of them but you can learn even more about spending credits here.
Spending Credits on Repost Campaigns:
Create a campaign by selecting a track and choosing a credit ‘budget’.
All members can listen to and repost your track if they enjoy it and think it would be suitable for their SoundCloud audience.
When a member reposts your campaign, they will claim credits from your budget relative to the number of followers they have.
Campaigns last for one week, or until all credits are claimed. Unused credits are refunded to your account.
You can restrict who can repost your tracks with one of our Pro Plans which can help ensure your tracks reach the most relevant audiences.
Campaigns have a minimum budget of 50 credits. This means brand new users will need to repost some tracks before being able to create a campaign.
Spending Credits on Direct Requests:
Browse Members and request reposts directly.
This provides ultimate control over who can repost your track, and can be the most effective way of ensuring your tracks reach the most suitable audiences.
Use the Favourite feature, to create your own network of members who are most suited to repost your tracks.
Spending Credits on Feedback Campaigns:
If you would like honest, detailed, and private feedback on your tracks, then you could set up a Feedback Campaign.
To start a feedback campaign, head to 'Feedback' in the side menu and click 'Get Feedback' in the top right.
You can run a feedback campaign for public or private tracks on your SoundCloud profile. You can choose to run a feedback campaign with a budget of 100, 250, 500, or 1000 credits, and you have the option to specify which topics you would like the responders to focus on.
You can pick up to 3 topics you'd like feedback on. Make sure you ask the right questions to get high quality feedback, suited to your current needs.
Your Feedback Campaign will end either after one week OR if all of the credits get claimed OR you choose to manually end the campaign. Any unused credits will always be refunded to you.
Setting up your account for success
Ensure all of your tracks have genres set on SoundCloud.
We use these genres to
Create your profile on RepostExchange.
Recommend your tracks to members on the Campaigns page.
Recommend your profile to members on the Browse Members page.
Show you relevant feedback campaigns to provide feedback to.
Don’t repost music you don’t like or that would be completely unsuitable for your audience!
This lowers the value of reposts for everyone and your fans will think worse of you.
Leave reposts on your page for 48 hours
Our system checks to make sure everyone plays by the rules.
Offenders will be warned, then restricted, then banned.
Be careful - If a repost says 2 days on SoundCloud, this might be being rounded up.
