5 Great sites To Promote your Music Online


5 Great sites To Promote your Music Online

Music/audio is another content vertical like images and videos. People have been going online for years and years looking for music audio and music videos. And today, it still remains one of the most popular niches on the internet. If you work around music, or like sharing music videos or mp3s, you need some serious promotion to make your contributions popular. Social media networks like Facebook can only get you so far. You'll need some more powerful sharing tools working at the back-end to make your music successful. Here are 5 great sites to promote your music online.

1. SoundCloud

SoundCloud is my favourite choice for sharing music. Not only is it a great platform for sharing the music you love, it is also a great starting place for new artists to share and stream the music that they produce, with the outside world.

SoundCloud

SoundCloud is a Cloud service (as the name suggests), so your sounds are stored online, ready to be accessed from anywhere. And the best part is, SoundCloud provides flawless integration with social networks such as Facebook, so whenever you play a sound, it gets shared in your activity feed. The SoundCloud music player is also easily embeddable online to blogs and websites, so you can easily share your music with your online followers as well.

2. Bandcamp

Bandcamp is basically an online music store. But it's a free-to-join website as well where artists can create their own micro sites and post their tracks. People can then stream to those tracks for free, or pay for them for personal use, the money from which goes to the artist (and a little bit to bandcamp, naturally).

SoundCloud

But while SoundCloud is more user-oriented, Bandcamp has more to do with artists and bands (ergo the name 'band'-camp). It can host photos of the artists, their biographical and contact information, links to website and social media accounts, etc. It even has a section where bands can let their fans in on tour and concert dates. Hence, if you're looking for a serious debut into the music industry, bandcamp is the place you want to be (among other places).

3. Spotify

Spotify is a monthly subscription-based music streaming service that offers a large inventory of music people can listen to. For artists, this is another great way to get their names noticed and make some money, and many popular bands such as the Rolling Stones have a presence on Spotify. So this service is a must-have for budding artists wishing to make a name for themselves someday.

4. MySpace

Yes yes, I know. MySpace died a while ago as a social network. But let's face it, it was MySpace that revolutionized social media and music discovery. And the site is in the process of a major overhaul, and will be relaunched as a socially driven music site. It will allow listeners to easily discover music and artists, and sooner or later, every musician and band will have a MySpace presence.

5. YouTube

YouTube, of course, remains the video-sharing platform of choice for most internet users. It is, in fact, the largest video sharing website on the internet. Not only is it easily embeddable with blogs and websites, it is fully integrated with other social networks such as Google Plus and Facebook. Every musician and band has a YouTube channel where they upload all of their songs and music videos.

So, what other sharing sites do you have in mind? Got any suggestions? Please feel free to share with us too. Peace :)

  6. Hi Qasim,

    The most important and very influential website is YouTube. Most musicians ( Justin Bieber) for example used it during his little period when he was not known. He used the site to market himself to the global world.

    Any upcoming artist should pay much attention to Youtube and spotify.

    Thanks Qasim for sharing
