You can follow all this advice to the letter, but if your track, EP or album isn\u2019t well-written, tight instrumentally and professionally produced, you\u2019ll fall at the first hurdle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that\u2019s out of the way, let\u2019s look at the best ways to promote your music independently in the modern music landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch our Unsigned Advice video or read on to learn more!https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pum1Ks7yf2k<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Sign up to artists services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the biggest music streaming services have platforms built specifically for artists. So if you&#8217;re releasing music, signing up is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These services will allow you to access an array of features and benefits within the platform, that are exclusively reserved for artists using and releasing music on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So for example, signing up to&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/artists.spotify.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify for Artists<\/a>&nbsp;allows you to add a profile image, submit music to Spotify playlists&nbsp;<em>(more info on that below!)<\/em>, edit your Spotify artist bio, view streaming analytics and access Spotify&#8217;s &#8216;Artist&#8217;s Pick&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just Spotify that caters to it&#8217;s artists needs. There&#8217;s also&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/artists.apple.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Music for Artists<\/a>,&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/artists.amazonmusic.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon Music for Artists<\/a>,&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/creators.deezer.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deezer for Creators<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/artists.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube for Artists<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; so if you haven&#8217;t already, go sign up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-get-verified-on-music-platforms-and-edit-your-profile\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to edit your artist profile on music platforms<\/a><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-get-verified-on-spotify\/\">How to get verified on Spotify<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/apple-music-for-artists-how-to-get-verified-on-apple-music\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to get verified on Apple Music<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-claim-and-edit-your-deezer-artist-profile\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to claim your Deezer artist profile<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Build a website &amp; mailing list<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a slick, professional website as a base for your online presence is vital, but perhaps even more important is building a large &amp; dedicated mailing list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your website should obviously include links to your music, bios, images and tour dates, but make sure to also include a mailing list sign up form. Email marketing offers direct access to the inboxes of people most likely to engage with your music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a fan gives you their email address, it means they want to hear from you, and a message direct to their inbox about your latest release or upcoming tour is much more likely to reach them than a social post that can be restricted by a platform&#8217;s limited reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/email-marketing-for-musicians-how-to-build-a-mailing-list\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Email Marketing for Musicians: How To Build a Mailing List<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/the-best-free-band-website-creators\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Best Free Band Website Creators<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/why-you-need-to-use-email-to-promote-music\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why You Need To Use Email To Promote Music<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/what-makes-a-good-band-website\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 Ways to Make a Band Website That Works<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Develop an engaging social presence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The power of a good social media marketing strategy is no secret. Developing and maintaining a consistent, interesting and engaging presence across Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook and even less obvious platforms like Snapchat, is essential. Also, try and keep your profile handles consistent to make things easier for people searching for you online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s an insurmountable amount of advice out there on how to manage your social channels, and things are constantly changing across every platform. Look through some of these helpful resources for more info on how to run and make the most of your social media presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/en\/blog\/how-to-promote-music-on-instagram\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Promote Music on Instagram<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-promote-music-on-tiktok-and-go-viral\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Go Viral on TikTok<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/tiktok-for-musicians-15-content-ideas-to-grow-your-following\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">15 TikTok Content Ideas for Musicians<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/10-best-music-social-media-marketing-strategies\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 Best Music Social Media Marketing Strategies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Get playlisted<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t afford to ignore streaming and playlisting. Playlists across Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and other platforms reach hundreds of millions of listeners across the globe, racking up billions of streams. Getting your track into a popular playlist can help you rack up thousands of streams. That\u2019s not only great awareness but also royalty earnings in your pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While getting your music placed on curated playlists is great for awareness and credibility, being placed on algorithmic playlists like Discover Weekly can make a big difference to your stream count. So it&#8217;s worth persusing all possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/get-your-music-featured-on-a-ditto-music-spotify-playlist\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Submit Your Music for the Ditto Music Playlists<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/6-tips-for-promoting-your-music-on-spotify\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Get Your Music On Spotify Playlists<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-get-your-music-on-discover-weekly-and-release-radar\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Get Your Music On Discover Weekly &amp; Release Radar<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-submit-music-to-spotify-playlists-directly\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Submit Music for Official Spotify Playlists<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Get press &amp; blog coverage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your music gets featured by music publications, whether that\u2019s mainstream mags or niche blogs and webzines, those placements can help build hype and give you the credentials to take your music career up a level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring a professional PR executive to handle your campaign is generally the best way to get great coverage. But this isn\u2019t always affordable or possible for a new artist with a limited budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do-it-yourself PR is an option for artists without a big enough budget. But it&#8217;s important to approach bloggers and journalists in the right way. Firstly, you\u2019ll need to create an electronic press release. This should contain all the essential info about you &amp; your music. The resources below offer advice for musicians who want to take PR into their own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/music-blogs-that-want-your-music\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Music Blogs That Want Your Music<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-music-press-release-template-and-guide\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Write a Music Press Release<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-create-an-electronic-press-kit-for-musicians\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Create an Electronic Press Kit<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/5-important-rules-when-you-submit-music-to-blogs\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 Important Rules When You Submit To Music Blogs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Music videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An exciting, interesting and original music video has the potential to go viral online, even if the track isn\u2019t a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to creating a video for your latest release. Think about the kind of videos from acts like OK GO and Childish Gambino that have blown up thanks to online traction. They\u2019ve had something unique and intriguing about them, whether that was a deeper underlying message or a quirky theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might want to develop a standard music video or live performance-based visuals \u2013 which is perfectly fine. But investing thought, time and effort into your videos has the potential reap huge rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-promote-your-music-on-youtube\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to promote your music on YouTube<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/making-a-music-video-how-to-commission-a-director\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Commission a Music Video Director<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dittomusic.com\/blog\/how-to-make-an-epic-music-video-on-a-budget\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Make a Music Video on a Budget<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/sell-your-music\/vevo\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Get Your Music Video on Vevo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Surround yourself with a strong team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might prefer the lone-wolf approach to promoting your music, but there can be huge benefits to surrounding yourself with a great team of like-minded people. If you have a team of well-connected individuals who are passionate about your music all working in your interest, it stands to reason that your chances of success will increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can put together a team of friends who\u2019ll help you free of charge, or for a cut of eventual earnings \u2013 great! But sometimes, you\u2019ll need to acquire the services of professionals to help give you the edge in the competitive music market. Whether that\u2019s a PR person, a radio plugger or promoter\/booker &#8211; there&#8217;s nothing wrong with accepting help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to get yourself a great manager. Again, make sure they\u2019re passionate about your music and believe in you as an artist. A manager who\u2019ll go above and beyond for you is worth their weight in gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/meet-the-band-managers-a-guide-to-music-management\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Guide to Music Management<\/a><br><br><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dittomusic.com\/blog\/10-tips-for-successful-music-collaboration\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tips for Successful Music Collaboration<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Know your audience &amp; focus on your niche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Where and to whom you market your music can make all the difference. Thriving music subcultures exist in all corners of the world, some huge and sprawling, some small and dedicated. Finding, knowing and exploiting your musical niche is key to your promotional campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might sound obvious (and it should be) but if you\u2019re a metal band, play metal venues, join a metal community and win metal fans. If you\u2019re a rapper, find rap venues, join rap communities and win rap fans. And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But niches aren\u2019t always defined by genre. If your music has more widespread appeal, start locally. People generally want to see an artist from their area succeed. Take advantage of this mentality and grow your fanbase close to home to before expanding nationally or even globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilising the different artists services features will allow you maximise your in-platform marketing and unlock new potential for engagement with your music from your fans and listeners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Play live often &amp; make an impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously this is a bit more difficult in the post-Covid-19 era, but gigs and tours offer an invaluable way to connect with fans. Get booked at nearby venues, play awesome sets for local music fans and you&#8217;ll quickly develop a strong, new fan base. But remember, you have to make them remember you, so be memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve built up a local following, you can head out on the road, taking on new music scenes city by city or even country by country. If this sounds too easy &amp; simplified \u2013 that\u2019s because it is. Touring and playing gigs night after night is hard work, but if you\u2019ve got a killer live show, the rewards will speak for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br><br><a
