Getting your music heard online today is
possible via websites that allow you to upload your music for anyone to hear.
The issue is, once your music is online, how do you get people to recognise
that it is there? The idea of uploading your music is so it gets heard and
uploading a piece that only gets a handful of listeners can be off-putting.
Luckily, there are companies out there like
Share Pro who have websites that can help you market your music through several
PR style marketing methods.
If you want your music to be heard, then
spread it around as many channels as you can:
·
Share your music with 100s of
tastemakers
·
Feedback on your music from
over 250 pros
·
Guaranteed listens/audiences so
your music will be heard
Manual Vs Automatic Music Submissions
Manual music submissions can take up a lot
of time, especially if you are looking for as many websites you can submit your
music to as possible. If you can automate your music submissions, you will get
your music out there much quicker and to more websites and communities that are
relevant to your genre.
When you submit music to blogs via the Share Pro
tool, the site connects with blogs that have thousands of readers each day. You
can use the software to upload music directly to Share Pro or share links to
your uploads on sites such as SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube, and others.
Your links will then be shared around
various music communities, so you do not have to go out there and market these
links yourself. Of course, you will also want to share your links on your own
Facebook and Twitter account, but that’s about as much manual work as you will
need to do when it comes to spreading the word online.

Pros Scouting Online Music Sites for New Talent
There are currently hundreds of music
companies looking for new talent. One of the best ways for these scouts to find
the next big name for their record label is by getting out there and listening
to people’s uploads on platforms such as Share Pro and proving feedback to help
people improve.
Share Pro collates people’s music from SoundCloud,
Spotify, and other music sites so industry professionals can find and listen to
new music from raw and untapped talents. These pros use the platform to take
the time to listen to new artists, follow their favourite artists, and provide
feedback.
By giving feedback and listening for
improvements that came as a direct result of feedback from a pro, these pros
can improve talent and eventually have them to a point where it could be worth
following up on the artist’s talents by giving them a contract.

Getting Paid for Your Music
If you are just starting online, then do
not expect to get paid immediately. There is always a chance that your sound
catches the attention of someone working within the music industry and you
could be invited to a recording studio for a demo, or even a small live event.
These invites are usually an initial
opportunity to move into paid work after a demo rather than paid work that is
immediately offered.
For most musicians, it is an honour just to
have their music heard while getting paid is a bonus. If you are persistent
enough with your music uploads, listen to feedback from pros on Share Pro, and
continue to improve your work, then you stand every chance of being invited to
paid gigs.

Keep on Improving Your Passion
For some music is just a passion and just
being able to play a tune or sing is enough. Sometimes being able to upload
music is just a bonus because after all musicians and singers just want to be
heard. Very rarely is music about money for most people.
That said, if there is a chance of being
paid for performing, then most people would not turn down the opportunity to do
what they love and get paid for it because let’s face it, most people do not
like their jobs or would rather get paid to do something they enjoy – job
satisfaction.
Well, thanks to music submission tools, you
can now get professional feedback on how you can improve your music for your
existing fan base, while also getting the chance for talent spotters to pick
you out and sign you up!
