These days, every musician or artist is active on SoundCloud. It is a great platform where you can share your music craft, connect with other artists across the world and get a number of fans. The best thing is that it is free and everyone can listen or share the music. If you are an artist and you have joined SoundCloud but did not get plays and followers then probably you are you on the wrong tracks. Most of the artists do a lot of mistakes make on SoundCloud. If you are also in one of them then how to avoid these mistakes and fix them? Today, we will discuss the common mistakes that most of the artists make on this platform. Most of the musicians and artists buy SoundCloud plays and followers but they need to fix the mistakes first to get more followers and plays. Let’s get into it!
Your link isn’t constant With Other Platforms:
The extension of your SoundCloud profile should be the same that you have on other social networks. For instance, if your Instagram handle is @shawndavis, then your SoundCloud extension should be ‘/shawndavis’. If you have different extension in your SoundCloud extension then you can edit it by clicking on the basic profile from account settings.
Contact Information & bio is Missing:
One of the common mistake that most of the artist and bands make is that they don’t write their bio and provide contact information on their SoundCloud profile. Preferably, you must add your email address and contact details of your manager. Also, write a short and concise bio on the top. The word length of basic bio for SoundCloud should be around 50-250 words. Also, include what you do, labels you are linked with, who you are and what are your achievements.
Overlooking to Identify Your Genre:
Most of the artists don’t include the genre of their music. This is a big mistake to ignore it. You must identify the genre of your music. When you write your bio, also mention the genre of your music and right keywords for your tracks. On SoundCloud, there is a explore function that guides the trending songs within a specific genre. So, there is the only way to mention your music genre with the help of keywords. First off embed it in the player, otherwise the search function of SoundCloud search through keywords. For instance, if you search for ‘pop’ or country rock, it will give you the results of the tracks that have similar words in the title of the track when you embed it. So, you must add keywords in the descriptions.
Not replying to the comments (all):
Most of the artists buy SoundCloud plays and followers but they overlook the important things that can give you a lot of plays and followers such as they don’t reply to all the comments of their fans which is not good. Always reply back to all the comments that build a strong relationship with your followers down the track.
