Every time when we (producers) have a new idea or inspiration, we usually spend hours and hours to turn the idea into a song. However, you do not get tons of plays when you release the song on your social media.
Have you ever wondered how the big artists get millions of play and get featured everywhere on the Internet?
Here are a few FREE ways to get plays for your song.
Hypem or Hype Machine is a site that keeps track of hundreds of quality music blogs out there. They have a built-in voting based ranking system for the best plays posted by blogs. The more people ‘heart’ your track, the more exposure you’re going to get. It’s like Google for music blogs.
Try to search up your favorite artists and see which blogs featured their tracks. Then, write a list of blogs that posted their songs because you’re going to need it to promote your track in the future. I suggest you to use Microsoft Excel to make that list.
2. Collecting Blogs
After you have made the list of music blogs which you might want to hit up in the future, go to their websites and try to collect their emails. Don’t forget the social media link as well. Try to collect as much as you can. I know that collecting emails is boring but try to collect 25-30 blogs per day is enough in the long run.
3. Hitting Up Blogs
Try to hit up those blogs few weeks before your actual release date.
Why?
Big music blogs receive thousands and thousands of submission every day. You’ll never know when they are going to receive your submission email.
When you write an email to a music blog, try to precise on what you’re writing so that they know what you want.
Try to be SHORT and SIMPLE.
Who doesn’t use listen to music on Youtube in 2016? If you search ‘Electronic Dance Music’ up on Youtube, there are like hundreds of music promotional channel. They are the taste makers that have a huge audience ready to listen to new music every day. If they have 1 million subscribers, you are still getting huge exposure even your music just reaches out to only 10% of the massive following. Instead of just music channels, you can also hit up fitness channels, entertainment channels or even make-up channels. Just try to be creative on who are you hitting up to.
If you want to convince people to listen to your music on Soundcloud, it is better to have social proof (reposts, comments & likes) on your music. You can search up easily repost channels on Soundcloud because there are thousands of them on Soundcloud. You might need to give something in return to get reposted by them. Try to hit them up in Soundcloud message with clear details of your song.
