Basic Tips on How to Market Your Music Online

— Tip n. 1: Quality —

First and foremost, you must have quality music. Unless you want to be the next Slim Jesus or Rebecca Black, you must have quality music worth listening to. Your music should not only have good content, but it should also sound professional and catchy. If you already have good quality music, let’s move on to the next tips!

— Tip n. 2: Social Media —

Social media is a great way to market and share your music! You can connect with literally thousands of people in seconds! You must sign up for at least three different social media sites. It can be difficult to keep up with more than three, so I advise you to stick with three. If you think you can handle more, sign up for as many as you want! The more the better. Stay active, but don’t spam! That just annoys people and it can seem like you’re desperate for attention. Instead of spamming, give value to your followers and friends. Post quotes, pictures and tips! Post pictures of your team, daily activities, or quotes from your song! You can also post links to your site, but don’t spam!

YouTube is the second largest search engine on the Internet. – Upload quality music videos and vlogs! Add a ton of tags and have long descriptions with links to your social media accounts. Interact with people and respond to all comments! The more videos you have, the better!

SoundCloud is a great website for publishing and sharing your music. Many up-and-coming artists build their fanbase using only SoundCloud. Users can like and share your songs! I used SoundCloud and I recommend that you use it too! It’s a great and easy way for your fans to listen to your music. You can share the links and they will lead people directly to your song!

Instagram is the fastest growing social media website. Post a link from your YouTube or SoundCloud to your bio and watch your views / views grow! Upload 15 second videos of your songs! Like and comment on the photos and videos of other artists! Interact with other people and artists! They will most likely click on your page and take a look at it! Users can also repost their music and pictures! The more photos you like and comment on, the better!

The other sites like Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter also play an important role in marketing your music online. Twitter can be used to keep your fans and followers updated on your latest music! Facebook can be used to interact with friends and fans on a more personal level. It gives you the opportunity to write a long post and speak your mind. Snapchat is another fast growing social media site! It’s a great way to have fun with your friends and fans by posting lots of videos and pictures! Again, it is difficult to manage each and every one of these! That’s why I advise you to choose at least 3 and stick with them! Which brings me to my last tip

— Tip n. 3: coherence —

This is the most difficult and important step. You have to be consistent. On social media, you need to upload content daily and you need to upload songs / videos weekly. We live in a fast paced world and we need to grab people’s attention! And how do we do that? Being consistent! Remember, nothing happens overnight. But if you stay consistent and use these tips, you’ll start to see results in no time! Be patient! If you expect success overnight, it won’t happen. Alicia Keys said, “It took me 16 years for my overnight success.” However, marketing your music online will definitely help speed up the process. There are many other tips, but these are just a few simple ones.
