I appreciate this is one of those impossible tasks, but I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, and was curious about whether anyone here has found any strategies that have they found particularly fruitful for them in getting their songs heard online?
I’ve tried a number of things over the last few months — I’ve been on submithub and used it to get added to some peoples playlists and blogs - but that has attracted 3 or 4 listens at most.. I’ve also tried to make cover versions of songs / play well known guitar solos on Youtube in the hope that people stumble on those and then click through to other music on my channel, but that hasn’t really worked at all as hardly anyone has clicked through and listened to the cover songs in the first place
Has anyone else tried anything different or unusual - and has it been notably useful/un-useful? Would love to hear. At the minute I really am starting from scratch on this - I have a bit of material built up but only a handful of listeners.
(I suspect this thread might have cropped up before, though I couldn't find anything on a quick scan through the recent posts - so feel free to point me to an old thread if this one has already been hashed out)
