Post: How do I get people to listen to my music?
12-25-2012, 08:02 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A lot of people from my school listen to me and my groups music but I want people outside of my city too. Being a young artist is so irritating I swear. I have a good amount of people from the internet listening to my music. I just need help on what to do and how to get my music out there.


What tips or anything should I do besides spam people? :mad:

Do a barrel roll!
The music is definitely good. I just subscribed and downloaded the 3 songs.

I don't know much but I think the best method of advertisement is through word of mouth and social media.
So I reckon the best thing is to spam people... Try to get someone to tweet one of your songs who has plenty of followers

Option 1: Make your music as crappy as possible so the wrong audience begins to like it.

Option 2: Make your music as good as possible so the "Hopefully correct" audience takes an interest in said group.

Option 3: Do both to see what the problem is.

Also, we have the internet, dont be afraid to post songs online.

Everyone likes that trap music/chief Keef music. I like it but my style and type of rapping is dramatically different from that style of music.

I've notice people who make horrible music get way more attention and hype. But I'm not going down that path aha. And so far I've put my music on soundcloud and stuff like that but I have no followers so I find it useless.

Thanks! and I'm always sharing my music on twitter and Facebook but if I do it too much I feel as if I'm annoying people. Only my bro and a few of my friends spread my music on social networks but it does nothing.

Im here to help you buddy, with a good group trying to make it, im willing to put my 2 cents in. ADVERTISING IN THIS POST IS ONLY TO HELP HIM

Okay for starters, your going to want to start posting your songs on every forum you belong to. You've done good on NGU, thats a good start, but not done yet.
Make a twitter for the group if you haven't, join a follow for follow site, such as You must login or register to view this content. Here you will be able to follow people, get points, and give your points for real followers in return, when you have a good amount of followers FROM THIS, start spamming your videos, on this website everyone unfollows anyways, which is what you should do too to keep a low profile, its not hard. As for twitter it will grow, mention people, friends, famous people, randoms, and tweet your youtube video. Aint nothing wrong with a youtube video, it doesnt look like a virus.

As for youtube, I see you have a low amount of subscribers, but an OK amount of video views, this could do with some botted subscribers, you can buy them, or join sites that will help you. Some sites give you real subscribers, such as You must login or register to view this content.
Youtube is pretty straight forward once you have an enhance views account, seriously. On NGU if you go to the auction section you can get enhance views accounts with loaded points for very cheap, go take a look. After that you just get more popular.

But we aren't done yet. The most effective thing you can do, in my opinion, is take advantage of blogs. There are so many blogs, and sites even that upload just rap music to their site, with downloads and shit. On some sites you can make an account and get rap fans from there, my favourite site which could be most useful is hotnewhiphop.com make an account and upload your songs.
Some blogs could be

You must login or register to view this content. (which a lot of real famous rappers have an account on)
You must login or register to view this content. (contact someone who can blog on it and they will upload it)


hope i helped, by the end I had no more motivation, haven't posted on this site in so long

Its called the internet, not soundcloud, you need to start using the internet and stop using places where you can just upload songs every now and then.

Hyperlink your shit and spam it everywhere, but you can actually pay someone to help you advertise in a much more legitimate way as well.
