The best way to promote your SoundCloud is to engage with other people.
In general: the more likes, reposts, and follows you give, the more exposure you will get in return.
If you are not a total newbie and your music isn't sounding like trash, then think about getting some backlinks.
- Ask bloggers if they can post your tracks to their blog
- Ask YouTubers if they need background music. They have to put your socials in the comment section
- ....
You can also get reposts for cheap. Target artists with about 5k-10k followers. Reposts in this dimension usually go for 5-10 bucks. This way the money is spent much better than in fake followers and likes.
I only know one black hat method to give a lot of likes to other people with a little script I've coded. This method works best if you got some social proof on your SoundCloud.
JavaScript:
var list= document.getElementsByClassName("sc-button-like");
var counter = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
{
if(!list[i].classList.contains('sc-button-selected'))
{
list[i].click();
counter += 1;
}
}
console.log(counter);
1. Use this link to filter out your target genre
soundcloud.com/search/sounds?q=*&filter.created_at=last_day&filter.genre_or_tag=ADDYOURGENRE
2. Make sure to scroll down a few times so a bunch of tracks are getting loaded. Usually they are loaded in steps by 10
3. Right-click and inspect a random element on SoundCloud so the dev section opens. Open the console and add the provided script.
4. Hit enter, enjoy!
Important: Don't do more than 90 likes at once! You might run into some trouble because of botting other ways.
I'm not using this method anymore but I thought I'll share it with you. Keep in mind that real engagement is the best engagement!
Peace, LO$ER
