Getting your music heard online today is
possible via websites that allow you to upload your music for anyone to listen to.
Once your music is online, how do you get people to recognize
that it is there? The idea of uploading your music is so it gets heard, and
uploading a piece that only reaches a handful of listeners can be off-putting.
Luckily, some companies like Share Pro 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 as 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 relevant to your genre.
When you submit music to blogs via the Share Pro
tool, the site connects with blogs with thousands of readers daily. 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 accounts, but that’s about as much manual work as you must do to spread 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, listening
to people’s uploads on platforms such as SharePro, and providing 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 favorite 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, expect to wait to get paid. Your sound always 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 honor 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 improving your work, you stand every chance of being invited to
paid gigs.

Keep on Improving Your Passion
For some, music is just a passion, and being able to play a tune or sing is enough. Being able,e to upload music is a bonus because, after all, musicians and singers 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 instead get paid to do something they enjoy – job
satisfaction.
Well, thanks to music submission tools, you
can now get professional feedback on improving your music for your
existing fan base while also getting the chance for talent spotters to pick
you out and sign you up!
