As a new musician, you may be wondering how to get more listens on Soundcloud. You believe in the quality of your music, you just need some direction in the music business. Someone to teach you how to get better engagement with your brand on Soundcloud. In your quest to get a larger audience, you may be tempted to search “how to get more plays on Soundcloud free”.

Although those services can seem to be great, and may even boost engagement, they are typically empty plays done by bots. They can lay a foundation but will never replace organic engagement.

This article will give you some solid, free advice to get the plays your music deserves!

YOUR PROFILE

One of the easiest things that you can do is to work on your Soundcloud profile page. If your page looks unfinished or unoriginal, people won’t give your music a try. Consider this as the window to your store. This is the first impression that people get of your page and you want to make sure that it is a positive one.

You want your profile to entice them to try out your music.

Having a good profile picture is a great start. Use a high-quality, 300x300 pixel image. It will be scaled down to 200x200 pixels, but starting bigger will keep it sharp after it is uploaded. Pick something that will make people recognize you instantly, so make it a shot of you and your band or a simple logo.

Your username and URL should be representative of you as well. It will add to the cohesive image of their brand.

As you are the brand, be sure to highlight your website and all of your social media pages on your account whenever you can. These are all small things that make a huge difference in your plays and engagement.

YOUR LIBRARY

It is also important that you build up your library. Create playlists of your music, which makes it easier for users to share your music with other people. If they like it and share it, then their friends and followers will listen. This slowly snowballs and your play count will steadily increase.

You will also want to use proper tags, just as you would on other social media accounts. These make your music easily searchable and will bring in new fans organically.

YOUR MUSIC

Lastly, and most importantly, you need to have good music. You can market and promote your music all you want, but if the music isn’t good, you won’t get the attention you want. Only put up high-quality tracks, ones that have been produced and edited to radio quality.

Your marketing may bring people to your page for a quick peek, but only good music will keep them coming back and spreading the word about your music.

YOUR GROWTH

Organic growth is a slow process, but it will be well worth the wait and the effort. Following these steps, you won’t instantly get a ton of plays. But as your brand becomes more genuine and your music gets better, more people will arrive at your page and listen to your music.

Stick with it and you will start noticing significant results over time.

THE LAST WORD

Be cautious of “guaranteed plays” and other services that seem too good to be true. Many services can offer streams, but if they are bots playing your music, you are no better off than before.

However, if you do look for promotion services, spend some time reading about them to make sure they’re legit. Good ones do exist, it’s just a matter of finding them.

KID TRAVIS (R&B, POP)

With an already buzzing YouTube audience of over 400K+ subscribers, Kid Travis wanted his Instagram profile to start gaining some of that same traction.

While you can get some spill over audience from YouTube, Kid Travis knew that Instagram ad campaigns could boost his presence on IG even further!

He discovered that trying to run Instagram ads yourself vs. having us add our years of experience and expertise to them made a huge difference!

His main goal was to achieve new followers who are seriously interested in his journey as an artist.

Kid Travis already had amazing talent but needed to combine his music genius with some marketing expertise to get the best of both worlds.

We were able to bring out the heart of his music through paid ads by editing & optimizing his existing videos and properly researching and structuring his ad campaigns.

The end results: We were able to consistently and predictably gain followers averaging between $0.25-$0.35 per follower (including a bulk of the promotion being done in high cost English speaking countries such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, & Canada) resulting in around 4,000 new, engaged followers/month on Instagram.
