How to Maximize Your Success As SharePro Playlist Curator

Becoming a SharePro Playlist Curator is simple: you accept submissions, you review music, and you get paid. But maximizing your success - earning more, climbing tiers, getting better artists, and building a reputation that compounds - comes down to how you operate day-to-day.

SharePro is designed to reward curators who behave like professionals. That’s not “fluff advice” - it’s literally how your engagement system and revenue share tiers work. You don’t need to game anything. You need to be consistent, clear, and fair.

Below is the playbook that takes you from “new curator” to “top-tier curator”.

1) Understand the business model: your behavior becomes your earnings

SharePro isn’t just “get paid to listen.” Your long-term earnings come from two engines working together:

Engine A: Your engagement score (0–100) over a rolling window

SharePro uses a rolling lookback window (roughly the last 90 days) to calculate your Engagement Score. This score is built from a handful of signals, with the biggest weights coming from:

• Completion rate (finishing submissions without avoidable refunds)
• Verified placements (real placements that stick)
• Buyer reviews (patterns over time, not one-off salty reviews)
• Chat/messages behavior (you don’t ghost buyers)
• Helpfulness votes (lighter weight, but still real)

Engine B: Your revenue share tier is “frozen” per completed submission

When a submission is completed (and not refunded), SharePro converts your current engagement score into a curator revenue share percentage, then freezes it on that submission. Your tier later going up or down won’t change that already-completed payout.

Translation: every submission is a snapshot of your reputation at that moment. Treat each one like it matters - because it does.

2) Nail your offer: set expectations so you don’t create refunds

Most curator problems don’t come from “bad artists.” They come from misaligned expectations.

Your campaign/page copy should answer these questions clearly:

• What genres do you actually want?
• What’s an instant decline for you?
• What do you deliver when you decline? (Example: short feedback + reason)
• What do you deliver when you accept? (Placement + timeline + how long you keep it live)
• What’s your typical turnaround time? (And your max deadline)
• Do you offer Standard vs Express lanes? What’s the real difference?

If artists don’t understand what they’re buying, you’ll spend your time arguing, doing damage control, and dealing with disputes/refunds. That drags earnings and score.

Pro move: write your description like it’s a contract. Friendly tone, but specific rules.

3) Build a workflow that guarantees you never miss the 48-hour SLA

A lot of curators lose tier/share simply because they get behind.

SharePro’s system strongly rewards on-time responses. Letting submissions sit, expire, or get auto-resolved is one of the fastest ways to tank completion patterns.

Your simple operating system

Pick one:

Option A: Daily cadence (best)

• Check submissions twice per day (example: morning + evening)
• Clear anything close to deadline first
• Keep a “pending listen” queue

Option B: Every-other-day cadence (minimum viable)

• Check submissions at least once every 24–48 hours
• Never let “life stuff” push you past SLA

If you’re busy, don’t accept extra volume. It’s better to process fewer submissions professionally than to accept more and miss deadlines.

4) Deliver “meaningful” reviews (and stop writing one-liners)

You don’t need to write essays. But one-line feedback leads to:

• Low helpfulness signals
• Lower buyer satisfaction
• More disputes (“they didn’t really listen”)
• More refunds
• Worse long-term earnings

A review format that wins (fast + effective)

Use this structure:

1. One sentence summary: “This track is strong but needs a tighter hook.”
2. 2–3 specific points (pick from: vocals, mix, arrangement, songwriting, energy, originality)
3. Playlist fit decision: “Not right for my playlist because ___” or “Fits because ___”
4. One actionable next step: “Try shortening the intro to 8–12 seconds” / “Lift the vocal 1–2 dB and tame 3–5kHz harshness”

That’s enough to feel real, professional, and helpful - without turning this into unpaid labor.

5) Verified placements are your biggest multiplier: don’t fake it

One of the strongest positive signals is verified placements that stick. The platform can cross-check placement activity against buyer reports and internal checks.

What “good” placement behavior looks like

• Place tracks you genuinely support
• Keep them live a reasonable amount of time
• Don’t do “checkbox placements” (add for a day, quietly remove)
• Place in a position that gives the track a fair shot (not always dead last)

If you don’t like a track, decline it. A clean decline + real feedback is better than placing music you don’t want, then removing it quickly and creating friction.

6) Manage communication like a pro (this alone separates top curators)

SharePro tracks curator-side messaging behavior. You don’t have to chat nonstop - but you do need to show basic professionalism.

The “2-message rule”

If there’s confusion, issues, or frustration:

1. Acknowledge quickly: “Got it - thanks for reaching out.”
2. Clarify + resolve: “Here’s what I can do / here’s why I declined / here’s when I’ll update you.”

Ignoring messages creates avoidable refunds and escalations. Communicating reduces disputes and protects your completion patterns.

7) Use the Engagement Dashboard like a control panel, not a vanity page

Your Engagement Dashboard isn’t just stats. It’s your income dashboard.

What to watch and improve

• Engagement Score (0–100): your rolling performance signal
• Tier / Revenue Share %: what you earn from the same submission volume
• Completion patterns: avoid avoidable refunds
• Placement-related performance signals: SharePro can track impact-style metrics such as:
• Impact Add Rate (90d)
• Median listen duration
• Saves per 1k listeners
• 7-day retention

Those metrics basically measure: “Are you placing tracks your audience actually engages with?”

Translation: better curation → better audience engagement → better tier outcomes.

8) Choose quality over volume (and your income will still grow)

A lot of people think success = accepting more submissions.

Wrong.

Success = accepting the right submissions and handling them cleanly.

If you accept everything:

• You’ll place stuff you don’t really like
• Your playlist quality drops
• Your listeners get worse engagement
• Artists complain more
• Refund patterns increase
• Your tier/share suffers

A high-performing curator is selective and consistent. That’s what builds a strong reputation and better long-term earnings.

9) Set pricing strategically: Standard/Express lanes should match your reality

SharePro supports Standard/Express style lanes and optional review depth. Use this intentionally:

Standard lane

Use it when:

• You can respond comfortably within your normal workflow
• You want higher volume with steady consistency

Express lane

Use it when:

• You’re actually willing to prioritize those submissions
• You can deliver faster turnaround reliably
• You want higher revenue per submission without increasing volume

If you offer Express but treat it like Standard, you’ll create disputes and refunds. Your tier won’t like that.

10) Handle edge cases the “platform-friendly” way

Refunds happen. Weird situations happen. The platform isn’t punishing rare problem cases - it’s looking for patterns of avoidable mess.

The curator-friendly way to handle issues

• Communicate quickly
• Document your decision clearly in feedback
• If there’s a mismatch, explain it (“Good song, but not a fit for my playlist audience”)
• Don’t disappear and force support to rescue the situation

If you act like a pro, the system will treat you like one.

11) Your reputation compounds: treat every submission like a public review

On SharePro, artists talk. A curator who is fair, consistent, and genuinely helpful becomes a magnet:

• Better artists submit
• Fewer disputes happen
• More placements stick
• Reviews trend positive over time
• Tier/share rises naturally

This becomes a flywheel: better behavior → better results → better earnings.

Final checklist: the curator who wins long-term

If you want a simple “do this and you’ll be fine” list:

• Respond before the SLA (don’t let submissions expire)
• Be selective - place what you actually support
• Keep placements live for a fair period
• Write short but specific feedback (no lazy one-liners)
• Don’t ghost buyers - two quick messages beats a dispute
• Set clear expectations in your campaign description
• Use Standard/Express lanes honestly (don’t overpromise)
• Watch your Engagement Dashboard like it’s your income statement

Do those consistently and you won’t just “participate” in SharePro - you’ll climb tiers, build trust, and turn curation into a reliable revenue stream.
