You made some kickass songs. They're on Soundcloud. They have about 20-30 plays and few downloads which may just be your mom and a close stalking peer from high school and you wonder, "What the fuck?"
Alright, alright, I get it all takes time.
But let's face it, if you're making music, if you paid to get your music on Spotify or iTunes, the only follows and listeners you have are the ones from message boards and other online platform. Most likely, they're all trying to get their music out to the public too.
It's true; an online presence is required in order for one to begin touring and profiting in that end but here's the question;
How do you build an online presence? Why aren't the 70% of talented musicians on /mu/ showing their stuff to a larger audience.
Why are we masturbating to /gif/ porn loops?
there is not a single good musician on this board
just listen to the stuff they post. it is fucking trash
jokes on you

are you a girl that boys were obsessed with in high school? if not then it is highly unlikely
I made a experimental blues album on reel-to-reel tape, does anyone know of any blogs that would care?
I find it difficult to monetize music in a sustainable way, if anyone has any tips that would be great.
link to the blues stuff (check out the rest of the album too)

Truthfully, for any artist; good or bad. It's not a good release that I feel is the key. A good network perhaps is the lottery ticket in all of this.
Every artist we know to date can be valued like currency in social media points.
Example:
Kanye West posts about your music and that'd equal massive recognition from his followers and such. It'll be the music blogs and massive networks that connect with him that'll get in reach with you for more publicity. Take this as getting the giant dildo lubricated with the entire bottle of baby oil before inserting it into your asshole.
Now if some upcoming pop singer with a decent following like Halsey or Grace were to post your stuff, you'd only get less than a quarter of what Kanye's value could have added.
Not just singers, but blogs themselves have these sort of social currency like value.
It's either getting 1 big shot with 1 big artist, or raking in publicity with 5 or more smaller upcoming acts with your name somehow and work your way up.
Some people have gotten the easy road, some not so much. But hey, both seems profitable if "lubricated" with your promotion correctly.
Am I right?

says the neckbearded drone-nosie producer who's had his dreams crushed in soundcloud threads
>>66100137

if you still post in soundcloud threads, you ain't shit
start out local. do live shows and make friends
>>66100587
>start out local
>do live shows
that's the type of shit that leaves you in musician limboland; doing local shows every week to try and pay your bills
it's 2016 faggot
dye your hair and buy a pair of grills - make a music video if you fucking somebody in the ass and post it on liveleak
you'll go viral

Mu hates pop for the post part. Nobody in the soundcloud/bandcamp threads makes pop music so it'll be a hard breakout.
