The Musosoup Referral System – Musosoup

In addition to earning through offers and the Musosoup marketplace, you can also earn money by taking part in the Musosoup referral system.

When you join Musosoup, you are given a unique referral link. If an artist uses this link to sign up to Musosoup and goes on to activate a campaign by paying the campaign fee, you earn £7.50 per referral.

This is designed as a simple way to earn additional income by directing artists to submit through a platform you already use and trust.

How do I access the referrals section?

To access the referral section:

Click your user icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen

Select Settings

Select Referrals - LINK

From here, you can view referral activity, send invites, access your referral link, and download referral assets.

Understanding The Referral Page

The referral page is designed to give you a clear overview of your activity and earnings. Here’s a high-level overview of what’s on the page.

Request Your Referral Link

If you don't have your referral link yet, click the Request Referral Link button. The Musosoup team will generate your unique link within 48 hours.

Once your link is ready, it will appear on this page under the Share Your Referral Link section. From there, you can copy the link and start sharing it with artists.

Metrics

At the top of the page, you’ll see a set of summary metrics showing how your referrals are performing.

These include:

Invited -The number of artists you have invited directly by email through the referral section.

Pending - Artists who have signed up and submitted using your referral link, but have not yet activated a campaign.

Completed - Artists who have successfully activated a campaign. Each completed referral earns you £7.50.

Earnings - Your total earnings from referrals to date.

Share Your Referral Link

This is your unique referral URL. It cannot be edited, but you are free to use a URL shortener if you prefer.

You can:

Click “Share” to share via common applications

Copy the link and paste it wherever you want to promote Musosoup

Invite Artists via Email

You can also invite artists directly from the referral page.

Simply enter multiple email addresses separated by commas, and Musosoup will send them an invitation email on your behalf. This is useful if artists regularly contact you directly asking how to submit music.

Referral Activity Table

At the bottom of the page, you’ll find a detailed table showing individual referral activity.

Here you can see:

Artist name

Current status (invited, pending, or earned)

The date the status last changed

The amount earned from each completed referral

This gives you full visibility over how your referrals are progressing.

How Can I Use The Referral Assets?

To access referral assets, click the Assets tab at the top of the referral page.

You’ll find two ready-made banner sizes:

Banner (985 × 220)

Banner (209 × 56)

For each banner, you can customise:

Light or dark variant, depending on your site design

Horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on placement

The embed code is designed to be neutral and flexible so it fits naturally into most websites, newsletters, and layouts without looking overly promotional.

Where Is The Best Place To Use Referral Links and Banners?

Where you place your referral link or assets is entirely up to you.

Use Banners On Your Website

Add Musosoup’s ready-made referral banners to your site, especially on your contact page or other high-traffic sections.

You can also create your own custom button or image and hyperlink it with your referral link.

Include It In Your Email Replies

If you receive more submissions than you can answer, create a canned reply that points artists to Musosoup.

Example:

“Thanks for reaching out! I’m discovering lots of new music through Musosoup. You can submit to me directly (and hundreds of other curators at the same time) here: [your referral link].”

Add It To Your Auto-Reply

Set up an out-of-office or automatic response that guides artists towards Musosoup.

Example:

“If we’ve worked together before, I may get back to you. Otherwise, please submit via Musosoup for a guaranteed response. You’ll reach me and hundreds of other curators in one go: [your referral link].”

💡 Key Takeaway: Share your referral link wherever artists find you.
