Been doing music since 2019 and till end of the 2022 my monthly listeners peak was 300. But recently I've grown to 1300 monthly listeners in 4 months and it keeps rising, but really slow and these advices are going to really help! Thanks a lot, appresiate it man 🙏🖤
This video really opened my eyes on music promotion and the value of content creation. It’s made me realise that being authentic and using social media as a platform is effective to promote your music without paying for playlists or other ads you see nowadays.
@@devondutchmaster IT will come definitly Bro keep pushing Out content and Put yourself Out there Someone will Stick to you and Share and even more. I simply diddnt do It because of my Depression I cant hear good anymore on my left ear and im scared that Its Something seviere so im scared thats why i diddnt Post because i cant Mix the way i used to i have to Just live with the fact that maybe my badly Mixed Songs could Go hard aswell and Just be Happy that i can Put my music Out.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge ! I'm struggling to find an audience for my first song! None of my tiktoks grabbed attention yet and but I'll keep on posting until something works! thx again
BREDREN…first, HUGE congrats, EXCELLENT music, well deserved! Next, THANK YOU for introducing EWF to the young world, they ARE the soundtrack to my life (I’m OLD) & I always appreciate newer audiences knowing about that ICONIC catalog!!! Folk NEED to know that The Mighty Elements are MORE than just “September”, so BIG respect to you for going in the bag & covering “Can’t Hide Love”, the late great heavyweights, Charles Stepney & of course, Maestro Maurice White’s arrangement is one for the ages. Again, I appreciate you, brother, for presenting a STELLAR cover of timeless art. Bless up & respect. 👊🏽🙏🏽
Awesome tips man, greatly appreciated. Im new to using distrokid, it’s seems great so far but getting monthly listeners is a struggle. Appears I’ll have to try a strategy like you suggested in order to get people to notice me. Like you said make it not about you, think about what others need or can use. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Respect to you. Thank you for this video. It gave me great ideas for my own promotion journey. I just started to upload videos on tiktok just to draw attension to my Spotify releases and you gave me great ideas how to move forward there. I have been trying to draw more attension to Spotify by creating music videos on youtube, but I don’t see that I get any effect over at Spotify for this.
Hello Hunter, thank you for the awesome content and insides, it really helps! Could you talk more about when is the ideal time to start promoting a song on social media, in relation to its release date on streaming platforms?
Thanks a lot! Definitely will consider for sure! In the meantime, you can copyright your songs via us.gov and register them just like getting a drivers license or ID
How do you get a copy written song ie The Earth Wind and Fire song into your daw to make a cover? Every time I try it says it’s protected or not allowed. I like to make guitar covers but I have to play the music really loud in the background.
I have 9 monthly listeners, the most listeners per month i have 20 listeners, and i make music for 1 year and o think i have good music, but its impossible to have 1k monthly listeners or more, i really Hope that one time i will have 10k listeners or more 🙏
Hey man! My question is what qualifies it as a cover and not a remix? I would think what you’re doing would constitute a remix, which to my understanding could lead to copyright issues.

So excited for you! Thanks for sharing that too!
How did you boost the streams exactly? What is the method?

I agree with you. It’s super hard unless we’re a major label.
Everyone lets support each other! Follow me on Spotify "xciti." I will follow back :)

Hello Hunter, thank you for the awesome content and insides, it really helps! Could you talk more about when is the ideal time to start promoting a song on social media, in relation to its release date on streaming platforms?
Man I’ve been making music for over a year now and I haven’t gotten that many monthly listeners tbh but hopefully this helps
Give it a shot and let me know!
i released my debut album with like 8 listeners until the drop, so i'm really curious as to how i can go frmo 0 to 100 real quick
Marketing / Building a community around the music is key. Social media is a great tool to start building
yooo I play bass as well lets make something unique rap soul mash up maybe lolol ?
GREAT VIDEO! DOES DISCOKID REGISTER THE MUSIC TO BMI ETC. FOR THE ARTIST?
Thank you and you'll have to register them yourself
This is amazing!!! Can you do a video on how you copyright your instrumentals?
Thanks a lot! Definitely will consider for sure! In the meantime, you can copyright your songs via us.gov and register them just like getting a drivers license or ID

DistroKid will allow you to do cover songs. It'll be under the Songwriter section when you upload a tune.

so your tips are make reels and use social media?! -sigh-
If you’re independent with no marketing team or a major label… yeah… posting is a really good strategy..
If you write songs, doing covers can be a slippery walk along a cliff and I advise against it.
True but it’s for sure the easiest way to grow
