Man I am tired of posting in the SC shill threads. After a lot of posting I have only gained one subscriber. Where the hell can I promote my music? I understand the idea of sending demos to people - but the type of music I am trying to promote right now is illegal(sample based) and it has to be self promoted. I just want to get some views on my shit. Any ideas fellas?
Music Promotion
Make a music video if you post on YouTube
Make sure its either funny or so immensely bad people make fun of it
that was my first upload, the only video I have made so far. Everybody in my house watched it, but not so many people who don't live with me found it, unfortunately.
brand yourself dumbass, dont expect your music alone to take you anywhere. hop on social media and try to build up an audience. send your shit into as many blog sites as you possibly can to get written up about and gain exposure. none of us can help you with that, you need to work on it yourself if you really want it
There are enough people on Yea Forums that if we all spread it to a few people anything can take off
hey there we go. blog sites, that's a good idea. Anyone know where I can find any music blogs where people promote obscure new musicians? It is a niche genre but I think some people would enjoy it. Also, the social media thing is useful. I could be tweeting my shit at people. I haven't really thought much about that, thanks a lot man you're great. also you are a dick
Yea but I don't think you should be relying on Yea Forums alone. I would definitely urge you to hustle more and attack from every possible angle. Playing shows, trying to spread word, and trying to gain traction on your own accord
you are right. you gonna spread it for me user? sounds dirty ;)
sounds about right. the type of music I am making isn't really playable live or at all, though, unfortunately :(
There's ton of blogs around depending on what your niche is. I would even send stuff into sites that might be a little out of reach because you never know how people are going to react to what it is you do. Big net is my point.
Also sorry for being a dick but I'm about tough love
Do what you can, even if you have to rework stuff. Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to make a music career out of content alone nowadays
hey that's good advice. I really wish I could find a comprehensive list of music bloggers to spam my shit too. Is there a bloggerpedia or something?
I mean... I guess there would be some live stuff I could do. It's mostly sample based music and crazy shit but I do play some instruments in some of them. I'll have to think some more about this. thanks man
post link to shill posts
I want to hear it
man this thread is actually great wtf where am I
You need to have friends who support you or a family with enough money to throw at any thinkable problem. It sucks and it damages the quality of music due to the way it divides your attention by anything and everything that has nothing to do with music, but this is the way things are.
If you want to do anything with any amount of integrity, you have to take one for the team, eat whatever cost and spend your evenings making damned sure you are really fucking good.
it's not really for everyone like I said man but here you go. if you really like music it might not be your cup of tea. I been posting in the shill threads this week, if you lurk those maybe you've seen me
word
this is now a thread about finding music blogs to send shit to
use submithub, I know its pay to submit, but real music blogs will listen and give feedback, and I've gotten an album reposted with like 2k+ views as a nobody.
Also go play shows around your area, and str8 up connect with the other musicians on Yea Forums , maybe collab or just anything,
but honestly anything can work, it's a new era where nobody knows an exact way to gain an audience, be creative, really think of how YOU would be convinced to be a fan of your music
its pretty cartoon core - I didn't get more than a minute and change into it
you might find fans on Yea Forums or similar type places that cater to a very young audience or general silliness.
is it decently done? sure. but but like I never watched married with children, thought it was shit, and couldn't even slightly be interested in hearing its theme song ever again.
your 'brand' id guess is fairly complete. no thanks tho, for me.
>decently done
thanks!
also thanks user for the view and the (you), how do I find this Yea Forums place where you say they'll like it?
I have never heard of that in my life thanks dude.
I just realized I should change the song that pops up when you click my channel! thanks again
yeah but honestly, be aggressive about it tho,
walk out with yo cock out
America is a big pussy waiting to get fucked lol
changed the default video - try again
no more drinking so early in the day for you young man. still thanks for the advice, is that true?
You could definitely do this live. I don't know what gear you have but like
>ableton live
>a sampler
>a mic
>pa
what else do you need? whats stopping you?
if your music wasn’t ass you would gain more subscribers
start from a scratch my nigga
submithub is good. you can also literally just look for blogs. figure out your keywords of what describes you. just spend like an hour on google and make a list
who cares if it's not for everyone, try to find the people who would care.
based
I have tons of gear, basically whatever you would need. what would I need a mic for, though? and how would I even play some of that stuff live? now i'm even more confused :(
ok, ok. I think I really hear what you are saying. your words really resonate with me.
>my nigga
do you mean it? or are you just being kind
I certainly don't. and I am trying! why don't you care?
bruh, how can you not figure out how to play shows
I guess I could do a folk music set or some hip hop or something but I'm more focusing on like the mashups and stuff right now. if you know how to play a mashup live please teach me your ways senpai
