Manage episode 352995779 series 3415546
In this special episode, Sean "BrandMan" Taylor chats with SubmitHub's co-founder Jason Grishkoff about the platform's unique value within the current music landscape.
Jason Grishkoff started a music blog called Indie Shuffle back in 2007 when music blogs were still cool. After a 3-year stint at Google, he was lucky to take the blog full-time in 2013. From 2014 to 2015 digital advertising in the music industry changed rapidly, and a number of bloggers found themselves looking for alternative sources of income. Many gave up to focus on their day jobs, but Jason decided to double down on his coding abilities and created a website called SubmitHub, where musicians, labels, and publicists could submit their songs to blogs like Indie Shuffle. Flash forward to 2022 and nearly 30 million submissions have been submitted through the platform. Jason still runs the operation as the only developer, and the product is constantly evolving to meet the needs of the modern music promotion industry.
