ReverbNation

You wont make a cent with reverbnation. They make all the money for your page views an streams. The distribution they offer is unfair and they will take all your money from all stores if 1 store happens to receive a bad online promotion, they will blame the store for it... the opportunity are fake, the ranks are fake, its pretty much a fake place for artist to fake around like something goods happening but the truth is reverbnation leeching off us artist art.

I signed up and submitted my song and cover art, and they kept writing me back telling me to correct this or that on my cover art. I used Photoshop's "newsprint" effect on my cover picture, and they told me the picture is blurred when it isn't, and they said the picture is of poor quality when they view it at normal size. They said it was full of pixels. Idiots! Those are not pixels they're seeing, and if they'd look closely they would see it's not pixels, but the Photoshop newsprint effect. The kept writing back telling me what to put on my cover. So I got really ticked off at these idiots for trying to define my image and trying to tell me how to present my image. I guess they're the selfie generation and if a picture isn't crystal clear like that taken with a cell phone camera, if it has any artistic attributes whatsoever, it is rejected. I told them to f. O. and refund my money, and they won't let me delete my song on their service. So they probably stole my song.

My account got hacked and then I emailed them about it and they said it was my fault, and then shut down my account and deleted my music without even consulting me about it or batting an eyelid. These people couldn't care at all about the musicians on their site, don't got through then whatever you do. You'll never get any noteable promotion or recognition on that site anyway, only other musicians use it so they are the only ones who will ever become your 'fans'. I 'd be weary of copyright issues also with Reverbnation... if someone stole your music off that site there is nothing you could do about it... they definately wouldn't help you.

I like the simple use, grow etc
IT IS easy and you get a Lot of Feedback for development etc
Gratulation
But I miss a true Help,.If you startest, i get never a Feedback If I use an offer, what should bei better organised and for Start free for the Artist

I did a transaction with Reverbnation and the amount they charged was 118$ US which in SA currency is about R2000 (Rand). After entering my card details I received a warning message from my bank that R3756. 76 had been withdrawn from my account which is way too much. 118$ is only about R2000 so there is a discrepancy of R1750. 00 which is unacceptable. I am trying to obtain their email to try and get a refund because the one they submit (digitalreverbnation.com) does not exist. The bastards have just taken me for a ride. I also received no notification from them for the transaction, apart from the "warning" SMS from my bank.

Its legit... everybody is not meant for music stop complaining maybe your music isnt good have yall thought about that people on reverbnation listen to people who listen to their music spending money blindly is stupid... do your own promotion first then consider paying for a service of their i had my son on itunes spotify and a number of other spots from reverbnation and even sold copies on itunes and made money from streams from the other sites that reverbnation posted them to im satisfied with their service and will continue to use them

I have been on Reverbnation for a while now, I love it! I have been reading these reviews from artists whining about not getting recognition, you have to put a lot more work into your career than just upload your songs and expect someone to come knocking at your door, I don't care how good you are! It has to be your life, you must live and breathe it, if you aren't willing to work for success, you are in the wrong business! Reverbnation has done so much for my career, so stop $#*!ing and whining and pretending like you are entitled and roll your sleeves up and get to work! Have a great day!

My paypal account recently got to where I could only have a certain amount of money because, weird activity. I canceled my plan recently and they will still bill you. Everytime I submit to any opportunity even though my music is rap and is great I never win any opportunities! I have got told by numerous amounts of people, fans, record companies, and got interviewed by Skilly Magazine cause they liked my music they all always say I'm great and can make it instantly if I would submit to record companies to get signed. But on the Recerbnation opportunities I never win and my local ranking is 2 and the others are great rankings to. So why do they lie? To take your money is why. Need ever submit to reverbnation I am deleting my account and going to just submit to record companies. Bye scammers!

RN is a great site for musicians and provides you with a lot of useful tools. I´ve never experienced any inconveniences, it´s a great service and it works well even if don´t pay a single dime. Also, great customers service, fast, helpful and reliable.

A lot of people who are reviewing this site should think about themselves. RN never promise a stream boost or guaranteed response/placement/success when you pay for some pitichng (and if they do promise that, they will fullfill the promise). Music is a ruthless business and it takes a lot of time and effort to achieve something. ReverbNation can help you with that, but there´s no guarantee in it.

I´ve read a lot of negative reviews on RN because people got bad score in Crowd Review... I mean, how nonsense is that? RN is not writing those reviews by itself - people write it. And so if you got a bad score, you can´t blame the service provider! You can´t even blame the people, you only can blame yourself for making a song that people doesn´t really like and either try to impove it or move on.

People should realise that RN does everything that is promised, they don´t scam aynone! I would recommend this site to anyone, even if you don´t wanna spend any money, you have a nice opportunity to create your artists profile for free and to build up your fan base. With very cheap Crowd Review service and tens and houndreds of opportunities, cheap premium plan and more, this is one of the best sites for musicians.

When I first registered I did so as a "Studio" then found out I couldn't upload music unless I made an artist account as well. I did so & they kept pushing to promote my music. So, I signed up for the free trial. I then cancelled the trial within the given time frame. Well, apparently it "didn't go through" so I was charged $35. I was "credited" the $35 to use only on reverb nation. I highly disapprove of this website! It's not only a waste of time & effort but they steal your money! DON"T USE REVERBNATION!

Yes
RE: Fan and Fan back
I go to my Reverbnation page and get correspondence. All these people have joined fan base and I want to fan them back. I fan them back and get a pop up window that asks questions like others like this artist (I just fanned). Please get rid of that. It's too many key strokes if your trying get through your mail. I just want to get through my mail I don't want that pop up I have to close each time I fan somebody back.
The site does not work well for me because of this and similar things that make it harder to deal with fan mail and what have you. It's better than it used to be but still needs a whole lot of IT work to make things easieer and more interesting.
Both the "Apps I have, I don't think you can even get to your mail.
Anyhow no popups I have to close I don't need that response; 'Thanks for fanning so and so" how bout these artists? BS get rid of it. If I wanted that then I'd ask for that but now while I'm answering mail.

Well with all great intentions I hoped Reverbnation seems to be a good opportunity to get my music outlet. Most for local shows and even on a whim submitted a couple of songs to various so called radio stations. Most responses came back "we love your music please contact so & so",,,,, sure,, checked out the internet radio stations the message came from... the music was so so... They even asked me to send a message to get in touch... I did and of course it's more rabbit hole nonsense. Submitted to another radio station same exact response from them word for word,: we love your music please contact so & so ". Same thing another rabbit hole. OK,,,,, I started to get the sense well this is not I'm really being much use. Besides the cost kept rising... to little effect. I even bought an upgraded my package and now start to re-think the value. SO now to the real kicker. I submitted to Reverb- using my name and a band name that doesn't exist to when i do publish a song the name of the band that has been dead for a long time... still comes up. I wanted to change it as it is something that doesn't exist. I tried get info on how i can change the name by contacting support, nothing no response, nada... and i've tried this numerous times. Frankly I don't even think they have customer support. I don't expect much but nothing iS a little less that I hoping for.

This company does not have a phone number to contact them directly. They do have a feedback bar that after you offer feedback they tell you you are not who you say you are because they do not recognize your password! Its bad enough you are already logged into your admin panel with the same password, so your in your site already, but they still say you are not who you say you are! So they're asking for feedback they wont let you give them! WHAT A JOKE THESE PEOPLE ARE! Its all good unless you have something to say.

My song got 283k streams on spotify and i was suppose to be paid over 1300$ when i wrote them about not receiving my money the bloced my account and claimed thay my streams were fake. $#*! i have over 6million steams on spotify and I have music out with 4 other distributor's who pays me religiously! These guys are a bunch of thives with a bunch of fake promos that they use to seal these poor artist money and make you pay for fake promos that are worthless its a pure hustle... i will blow this up on social media steward the guy that answered my ticket probably split my royality money with his buddies in the office.

I'm sick of these scumbags robbing artist please be careful
And dont waist your money with reverbnation
