Three Tips to Get Heard More Often on SoundCloud
Published on 24.05.2020 by Natia
SoundCloud is the largest online music platform with a space for independent artists to promote their DIY music. The SoundCloud community offers a plethora of useful tools through which you can amplify your project and get plays from your followers.
1. Tag Your Music
One of the shortest ways to help your fans find you is by tagging your music. This way, you become more discoverable. Certain tags make your music get more easily found, so be honest while tagging or setting the main genre. Also, keep in mind to add moods and your location as well. It is a good idea to stick to one main genre.
2. Use Your Waveform to Tell a Story
With your Waveform comments, you can tell the story about your process to your fans. Tell them how you made the track and try to be transparent. Don't forget to ask your community for feedback. You can also publish drafts and get feedback to make your music better.
3. Share Other Artists
Re-posting other artists whom you cannot stop listening to will help your audience trust you. Also, there is a big chance that if you share other artists' songs and mixes, they may share yours. Thus, just posting your own music is not enough. This action can be the first step to start relationships that may later lead to effective collaborations and partnerships. This way, you can start building a community that you can be a part of.
