New Dashboards

We designed a new dashboard for you to easily manage your submissions through Fluence. For submitters, you can now easily see the latest activity your submissions receive. View the auditions, detailed ROI stats, and social shares for each submission directly on the summaries in the Dashboard.

PromoterDash

 

For curators, the new Dashboard is split into a Pending Auditions queue showing all the media sent directly to you, a History section listing all the submissions you’ve auditioned in the past, and a Recommended section presenting our best suggestions of submissions that may be of interest to you.

CuratorDash

 

It’s early days for the Recommended section, but as Fluence grows, our suggestions for you will have a higher probability of being a good match. We use a combination of your social connections and a submissions popularity within your network to recommend matches.

Much more coming soon!

Social Connections and Searching the Fluence Network

Fluence was built to connect the creative community to curators, experts, and other trusted sources. A crucial service of our platform is to match people based on their needs and interests. We released a new search and targeting system to help you quickly find the right people for your media.

Our new Lists feature uses your social connections to help you find people on Fluence from your Twitter, Facebook, SoundCloud, and Gmail. By syncing your accounts, you can access the focused and direct attention of your social connections on their own terms.

 

Fluence Lists

 

You can also see lists of people you’ve previously engaged with in the Fluence network. This is particularly powerful when you come back and send new media to people who have liked or shared your previous submissions.

We’ve also made it easier to get curator recommendations by entering different keywords for areas of expertise or interests.

 

Fluence Recommendations

 

You can now expand profiles directly in the search results and see the terms for their attention. We added new metrics in the profile to indicate responsiveness, location and social reach, and the icons to the right of their name show you if you’re connected to them on different networks.

Fluence ROI for Electronic Artist 1987

Swedish electronic artist Victor Holmberg’s solo project 1987 grabbed our attention over the past couple months when the single ‘Bomb’ from his upcoming album began to tear across the music scene.

 

 

Incorporating a shimmering array of pulsing emotive synths, Victor’s voice rises and soars; upheld with reverb-drenched piano chords. Have a listen, and read more below to see how Bomb was successfully promoted with Fluence.

Promoting ‘Bomb’ on Fluence

On Fluence, people set their own rates for their time and attention and receive media matched to their interests. ‘Bomb’ was promoted to three curators specializing in “indie pop”, “music blogging”, and “indie electronic”, for a total cost of $15.12. Here’s a look at the breakdown:

Social Sharing

 2 out of 3 curators chose to organically share it on Twitter, with nearly 300 clickthroughs resulting in a cost-per-engagement (CPE) of $.05.
