    Best Ways To Promote Your Music For Free

    -

    Have you ever Googled or searched in Quora how to promote music for free? If so, then you might be surprised to see every single article/video talking about the importance of social media presence, creating videos on YouTube, being consistent with your art, paid music submissions, public relations and marketing campaigns among many others which cost tons of money. There’s no denying in these methods. However, I am an independent music producer myself and I know how difficult it can be to push new songs to the public and make them listen, especially when you are running short on budget!

    It doesn’t really make sense if you are producing songs and keeping them locked up in your system, right? It’s important to promote your music so they get to see the outside world and be embraced!

    Here are a few methods that I have tried and tested in my music journey that have worked for free.

    Be part of ‘New Artist Spotlight’ community and submit to music playlists for free

    New Artist Spotlight | Promote your music for free

    This is a growing community of indie musicians with the same vision as you – place their tracks in playlists on Spotify and increase their streams, listeners, and followers. It’s a very much happening community by indie musicians to indie musicians and for indie musicians! Join New Artist Spotlight and grow with fellow musicians.

    Tweet your way to Spotify playlists & curators

    Promote your music via Twitter

    While many of us are busy searching for the perfect playlist on SubmitHub which might have a lower acceptance rate, we almost forget about Twitter and it’s amazing community. Just do a simple search on Twitter using hashtags like #SpotifyPlaylists, #NeedNewMusic, #NewMusic, and #ArtistsSupportingArtists, and using keywords like ‘Drop Your Music Links’, ‘Submit Your Songs’, ‘Submit Your Music’ and other similar search terms, and you are more likely to bump across tweets by bloggers, playlist curators, and A&Rs looking for some new music! While it might be a slightly tedious task at first, it shouldn’t be a big deal when you get used to the process. You just have to search for the best tweets and reply to them with your link, sometimes with a screenshot proving that you are following their playlist in exchange of placing your songs.

    Submit music to win airplays and licensing!

    Promote your music by registering to songdew.com

    Creating an account with songdew.com is a very easy process and it is free too. Once you have logged in and created your profile, you can start browsing through various opportunities to license your music. You can also use their distribution services to get your music placed on almost all the popular music streaming stores across the globe.
