1. Make EPIC music regularly
If you never finish any of your loops and WiPs, or if you’re too scared of criticism, then you’re not going to get far
You have to force yourself to COMPLETE your tracks, and spend time to make them sound awesome – they should not be too repetitive, they should not be overly complicated and difficult to listen to, they should make people feel something, whether it’s excitement or despair – whatever your intention is with the track.
You get the idea – make the best music you can, and make loads of it (see my 4 tips on productive time management for music production).
A lot of you might say that you don’t have the time, but it’s all about your priorities. Did you need to go out and sink 8 pints of beer last night, and be hungover all day today? Probably not. Could you have used that time and all of today to make some epic music instead?
2. Build your network of friends & connections
How will this help you? Once you have real friends with other SoundCloud users, they’ll help you promote your music in lots of different ways (that I’ll get into in a minute).
The key to developing real relationships is to show genuine interest and offer real value to others, instead of always thinking about what’s in it for you.
We’ve all seen those people who follow 2000 people (the maximum allowed number) and like everything in their dashboard, without properly engaging with you.
DON’T be another one of those guys – it’s obvious that you’re spam-liking and spam-following and that’s not a good look for you and your brand…
Here’s how to do it:
1. Find people whose music you like.
2. Like, repost, comment on their songs.
3. Find them on Facebook and like their Facebook page, then comment on their Facebook page
4. After a couple of weeks of steps 1, 2 and 3, send them a message on SoundCloud – ask them how they made this sound or that snare, and let them know that you’ve shared their music with your followers on SoundCloud, Facebook etc. Basically, get a conversation going and show them that you’re willing to help them out.
If you do this with 10 people, you’ll be able to reap a lot of benefits including growing your audience.
3. Leave comments, and respond to comments people leave on your music.
And make sure that the comments you leave are useful, meaningful, and not just ‘rad’ or ‘sick’…
When you show that you’ve put some thought into your comment, it gets noticed, not just by the person whose song you are making a comment on, but by other people who listen to his or her song.
If people notice a pattern of you writing
great comments, some of them will come and check your music out.
Also, the people who get your useful comments will appreciate it and will be more likely to check your profile out and follow you.
4. Collaborate with your new connections
Here’s the beauty of doing a collaboration: You do half the work and get extra exposure to all of their fan base as well as your own.
You also help your friend by letting him or her get exposure to all of your fan base! Collabing also helps you to discover new techniques and approaches to making music by seeing in depth how another person does it. This will help you grow your skills.
5. Get on the remix tip
Remix a popular song that is current and will be searched for by millions of people.
This can bring a ton of new listeners to your page, and if your remix is decent, you’ll convert a ton of those visitors into followers.
You can remix music of a similar genre to your own, or you can experiment and remix something completely different – see whether this gets better results or not.
6. Give Your Post a Paid Boost
Although getting your post featured on a Channel is awesome, it isn’t enough. You need to help your post go red hot.
After your content gets attached to the channel, you need to quickly drive lots of traffic to it. This will help push your post to top of channel, as opposed to being just listed on the channel in fifth position (or wherever it ends up being shown).
You have to get to the top spot. How?
Spend a few bucks (no more than $50) on Facebook and Twitter promoted posts. This will help quickly drive lots of traffic to your LinkedIn post. Or Visit SMMSUMO.COM website they do provide High quality Facebook Followers with real User and 2 years of replacement protection on there each services with MoneyBack Guarantee.
