Tricks for Soundclick

SoundClick is a social networking site that has been a place for musicians to advertise their work on the Internet since 1997. It provides free services to musicians, such as an artist page, MP3 store from which you can sell your material online and opportunity to connect with other musically inclined people. This gives you the chance to share with them the latest trends in music or the newest production techniques in the field. Since many of today's hits are due to digital sales, SoundClick can be a useful tool that you can leverage to launch you into the world of music. Follow a few tips to increase your chances of such exposure.
  1. Create a VIP Account

    • Register for a VIP account with SoundClick. It costs $10, but industry experts say it's worth the benefits. You'll receive a page without advertisements, which may attract more visitors and enable them to concentrate on your music rather than pop-up ads that can slow the loading of content. You also will receive a background radio, a Flash page and a 320-kilobyte MP3 option.

    Upload Material

    • Upload as many forms of music you would like to your SoundClick page, whether beats, instrumentals or songs. The more material you upload, the more likely you are to encounter visitors who like your music enough to download it. Place links on your page, as well as in the SoundClick forums.

    Advertise

    • Advertise your music. Make use of social networking sites and post your work on those websites. However, before doing that, carefully peruse their policies to make sure they approve of you bringing your material from SoundClick to their sites. Invite your friends through email, instant messaging or texting and provide the links to your new songs. Make sure the material you upload is your best work. Use only recording equipment that will give you the most professionally produced sound.

    Create Layout for Website

    • Design your website so that it is a professional, yet creative, expression of who you are musically. Add graphics to your SoundClick site that reflect your genre. For example, while lighter background colors, such as pink or sky blue, may indicate a soft-rock or easy listening type of music, a black theme may connote heavy metal or hard-core hip hop.
