Local bands can upload their music online on a multitude of platforms including Spotify and expose their music to millions in just an instant. In some cases, bypassing the need for third parties like a record label completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do you take advantage of these platforms and which ones are worth your time? We take a look to help you hit the right note!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Start your music promotion with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/website\/how-to-create\/\">website<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/why-does-your-business-need-website\/\">important to have one platform<\/a> where you control your music, content, and brand image\u2014your website.

You can easily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/website\/how-to-create\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">create a Website with Jimdo<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;below and connect your band\u2019s social media page. What are the advantages?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Easy music integration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Add songs from iTunes or Spotify directly on your homepage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Videos:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Easily upload videos from your performances to your site<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Podcast: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link an Apple or Spotify podcast in your Music block to share interviews or teasers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Contact form with map<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This lets visitors know where they can find you and how they can contact you<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Social media<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Link your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/social-media-marketing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social network<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> profiles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Designed for music<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Use a layout that is specially designed for music websites<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"button-iwjKgW\"><a class=\"iwjKgW\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/website\/music\/\" rel=\u201dfollow\u201d target=\"_blank\">CREATE YOUR MUSIC WEBSITE<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Get discovered on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/\">Spotify<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uploading your music to Spotify has a ton of advantages, the main one being a huge reach. Spotify is used by a worldwide audience with its mobile and desktop downloads. Unknown artists have the chance to shine through the \u201cDiscover\u201d tool and \u201cRelease radar\u201d that connects similar music. Almost every artist is in the Spotify music library, connecting your name by association with the biggest stars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"jimdo-alert\">Have you built your music website? Add your playlists, so visitors can listen to your songs. It\u2019s easy to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/embed-spotify-playlist-on-website\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">embed your playlists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Spotify, SoundCloud or BandCamp.<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Post your tracks on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Music\/\">Reddit Music<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many music channels tend to be saturated with artists but Reddit still has a lot of untapped potential for grassroots marketing to promote your music. This is the perfect opportunity to get up and personal with your potential fans and build up your brand. Reddit is interactive and there\u2019s no distance between you and your customer base. You can introduce yourself, share your website so people can listen to your tracks, and interact with your potential user base. Reddit users don\u2019t hold back so be prepared to get some constructive (and unconstructive) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/deal-with-negative-comments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feedback<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about your tunes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Try music-related hashtags on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/?lang=en\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hashtags are huge on Twitter and Instagram but you\u2019ve got to make sure you use the right ones to really see effective results. You should always add hashtags like #music, your music genre e.g. #AcidJazz and your own band\/artist hashtag to get started. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Twitter, you can look at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitterMusic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@TwitterMusic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and use trending hashtags like #newmusic, #nowplaying, and #musicvideo.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst on Instagram you can also search for music emojis, as well as hashtags, so try a mixture of both. Trending hashtags to look out for are #instamusic, #instanewmusic, #instanowplaying, #instalive, #instaartist. You could also try using e.g. #insta before the genre e.g. #instaacidjazz<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jimdo-alert\">If you play live, always have your artist\/band hashtag displayed clearly at gigs so people can tag you with credits when they post the video on their social media page.<\/div>\n<h2>5. Upload your videos on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know? Artists Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen were discovered on YouTube! The platform offers a perfect opportunity to organize playlists, showcase your music videos and show backstage antics. The \u201cBrowse channels\u201d offers the potential for you to be found in the &nbsp;\u201cCreators on the rise\u201d or \u201cPopular on YouTube\u201d section.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6. Spike on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/\">Last.fm<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last.fm has some really cool features for aspiring artists. The \u201cscrobbling\u201d feature checks what users are listening to most then streams songs based on the findings. Fans can subscribe to your music and they\u2019ll receive an instant notification if you\u2019ve uploaded a song or given an update. Users often find new music by following people with similar tastes so they get notified about their new favorite song.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>7. Create buzz on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tiktok.com\">TikTok<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TikTok is a global video community that is breaking records among young audiences worldwide. Although the platform is now much more, TikTok originally started as a music network. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll see everything from lip-syncing to hit songs, dance routines to celebs doing TikTok videos with their kids. Not to mention movie scenes being reenacted and random short, funny videos. In any case, the potential is huge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>8. Share your music on <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/\">Soundcloud<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea behind Soundcloud is to share your music or mixes with a community. Unlike Spotify, Soundcloud is not a music app with whole albums on-demand, but a sharing platform. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Soundcloud, you can upload your music, listeners can comment on your tracks, and (if you activate the function) also download them. It&#8217;s the ideal platform for up-and-coming artists to reach a bigger online audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"jimdo-alert\">SoundCloud, TikTok, and BandCamp are included in Jimdo\u2019s Smart Apps, so you can show content from a range of other platforms on your Jimdo website. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/smart-apps-for-website\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore Smart Apps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>9. Find your first fans on <a href=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/\">BandCamp<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BandCamp is a great place for new starting bands and singers. With its audience of music lovers looking for new music, the platform can help you find your first fans. Visitors can stream music you upload and buy albums, digital downloads, or even branded merchandise from you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use BandCamp to find fans, make sure to embed the playlist on your music website as well. The more often your music gets streamed, the more signals BandCamp gets that your music should be featured prominently on the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center post-cta has-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0111f410 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring your business online with Jimdo.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-right is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-17124a9a wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a data-tracking=\"post_cta_create_website_signup\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/register.jimdo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kick off your music career with these platforms for independent music promotion online.
