    OT: it's a solid promotional service. you just gotta be hella top of mind nowadays. take advantage of people/exploit every tool that's available to you.

    the culture is toxic and I guess you would do well if you adapted to the climate.

    I guess you can do that but you're not going to accomplish much without a plan. πŸ˜‚

    You're just gonna be spending money for nothing.

    The real question is...

    Why even bother?

    Especially when you're not going to make s*** etc...

    If I could go back. I would probably not have uploaded any songs whatsoever.

    You can make music for sure but to properly release anything you're gonna have to be spamming.

    As an independent artist that is 100% the requirement.

    No one likes to be spammed.

    So you're pretty much f***ed unless you have a crazy bankroll to make your spam/shameful plugging look legit.

    Probably best to not properly release s*** and push around your local scene/niche...make a few projects and keep them close to you.

    Exactly πŸ˜†. Spam is the only way. πŸ‘. And that's to get a deal. You are not going to reach the end consumer without it.

    For the bank roll probably. But niggas tryna compete with DaBaby.

    100% if you suck the right d*** you good.

    But mad niggas sucking d*** still can't reach consumers.

    They doing the most for clout rn. Spamming up the timeline with dumb s*** 25/8. Everything a rollout. Nothing sticking without heavy label involvement.

    Make what you want. If you want to promote it in this climate best have a way to penetrate.

    Of course you can build a fan base but that's going to be through consistent visibility. Sounds like spam to me 😭

    So you agree spamming is not the best way to present yourself? It's respectability, nobody respects someone spamming twitter threads and youtube comments or random rap forums, s*** is corny. Build organically and network

    Bts is already known and have a network & fanbase.

    Its not seen as spam anymore.

    Spam is literally something the person receiving it doesnt want or is of non interest/irrelevant to them.

    When a person signs up to be apart of an artists network themselves, its no longer spam to them, its updates.

    Spam is only spam to people that dont want it.

    Like the idiots posting random youtube sob story comments with no rhyme or reason thinking its going to get anywhere.

    Youre undermining & stripping it back to its basic & irrelevant level, aka pessimism.

    Marketing is only spam to those not interested.

    People that think putting yourself out there is "spam" will never go anywhere in any industry that requires you to push yourself even a little.

    But thats ok, not everything is for everyone. That's why "regular" jobs exist.

    Any type of independence without an infrastructure handled by someone else involves "spam". From personal owned businesses to art etc.

    The first rule of business is to let people know you exist. How else will you become anything, how else will people know who you are & if theyre even interested?

    y'all weird in this thread. some mf's just make music to make it and want an easy way to release. not everyone is tryna be a faux mogul

  • Ygor Sunny

    y'all really don't understand that this upload your music s*** is played the f*** out.

    streaming is not the killer app you think it is.

    it's not designed for independent artists

    can i express myself through synthesiser vst software & upload it to a place my mom will recognise if i text her a link bro

    or are you gonna explain to her how to use bandcamp?
