  In the 1990s, the computer industry was hit by three major bombs. The first was the browser, which served as our portal to the internet. Then came the technologies for transmitting video and audio via this new channel, such as compressed video and audio. Then, in 1999, the music “sharing” website Napster was founded. From that point forward, the computer served as a single platform for recording, distributing, and consuming music. Things were only beginning at the time. MySpace debuted in 2003, and within months, millions of users and hundreds of musicians and bands were discovering each other in ways never previously imaginable. As a result of these changes, a whole new music ecology has emerged. In the end, digital sales topped physical sales. Radio has been neglected by podcasts, streaming, and YouTube. Every laptop became a potential recording desk as studios shrank. Video links and digital profiles replaced the artist’s 810 advertising glossies. What exactly is promotion? Be...

  Become a Musician Who Isn’t Just a Musician Getting your work out there doesn’t always mean you have to stay in that box.

  Looping Scams You might want to think twice if you’ve ever been tempted to leave your tunes looping overnight—or if you’ve ever asked your fans to do so. This type of behaviour will be detected by Spotify and other streaming platforms, and it will not pay off. You could be kicked off the platform and blacklisted for good. Allow people to listen to your music in a natural way, and the streaming platforms will take notice. Scams with playlists While playlisting is a great way to reach new audiences and have your music heard, you should never pay money to be included in one. Don’t waste your time or money on anyone who offers you the potential to increase your streams in exchange for a payment that grants you access to specific playlists. Streaming sites are constantly on the lookout for these types of playlists, and you risk being detected and having your online reputation harmed. So, Should You Purchase Spotify Plays? On the internet, you may find many kinds of  Music Promoti...
