Getting more fans.
Getting followers means more people will listen to your newest masterpiece. When people look into the new tracks, they also usually check out what else you made – your discography. This means increased sharing of old tracks, in addition to more sales/downloads of those tunes. This is the secret many Soundcloud promotion pros don’t want you to know: you can speed up this process by factor 10 by ordering traffic. It’s what will get things started. One promotion plan is offered by a service called soundcloudpromotions.com and what they offer is unique promotion through their vast network of music websites. This way you can buy Soundcloud followers and plays for your profile. It’s like being on national TV for 15 minutes. Even if it’s just a little time, it’s that initial exposure that’s crucial: it exposes you to a massive audience. Many will notice you. Things will start moving. Once they do, you won’t have to spend money for followers anymore. They will promote you. They will share your music. This is why success oftentimes depends on this initial investment.

OK. I invested in promotion. Now what?
You need to have your discography published to Soundcloud. There’s truly no downside to doing this, since you can use these uploads to point listeners to whatever store/service you’d like to have them use to download the music.

Please do remember to tag your uploads properly when you’re uploading your opus. Labelling your uploads increases your exposure and thus your chance to be heard by new music enthusiasts who are searching for a specific style of music.

You should be uploading content often. It’s not like we can release brand-new albums/EPs every week, so think about other kinds of uploads you can share on SoundCloud. Are you already creating material on various other places that you can share (for instance YouTube)? Perhaps you can share experiments/demos? They don’t have to go public. You can share them only with your fans. This is one of SoundCloud’s strengths– it allows you to upload and share even more than just your official launches without cluttering up the places where you actually offer your music.

Sell.
You must point everything to your major service. In my opinion, SoundCloud is not a terrific place to provide downloads. So you need to make it extremely clear where you desire your fans to go in order to do that. Use the description, and fill out the “Buy” link that’s related to each upload. Doing all of these things has the potential to bring in even more attention to your music, especially if you can be consistent with providing routine uploads over an extended time period.
