Read a listing before you pitch
Every listing tells you how to get in:
- How they want to be pitched: their own submission notes, word for word. Follow them.
- Contacts: each address, where it came from, and when it was captured. The latest email outcome shows underneath, e.g. "Delivered on Oct 3".
- Freshness: "Checked N days ago" means members confirmed it recently. "Address may be out of date" means someone reported a problem.
- Reply rate: once enough members have logged results, you'll see how often people heard back and how quickly.
- Worth reaching out?: members vote Worth it or Not worth it.

Keep track of your outreach
- On any listing, set Your outreach to Contacted, They replied, Accepted, Declined or No reply, and keep private notes.
- My outreach lists every pitch you've sent, with delivery status (Sent, Delivered, Bounced…), grouped by outcome.
- Fourteen days after you contact someone, you'll get a gentle "Did they reply?" reminder.
- Your outcomes help everyone: they build the reply rate other artists see.
