How to Get Your Music Out There on a Budget
You don’t need a lot of money to promote your music. Here are some easy and affordable ways to help more people hear your music:
1. Use Social Media
Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are free and perfect for sharing your music. Post videos of your songs, share updates, and engage with your fans. You can even make fun, creative videos to get people interested in your music. The more you share, the more likely people are to check out your work!
2. Submit Your Music to Blogs and Playlists
Many music blogs and playlist curators are always looking for new artists. Some of them allow free submissions, while others may charge a small fee. Getting your song featured on a blog or playlist can help a lot of new listeners discover your music.
3. Perform Locally or Online
You don’t need to go on a big tour right away. Start by performing in your local area or even online through live streams. Performing gives you a chance to show off your music and build a fanbase in person (or virtually!). It’s also a great way to connect with fans who may want to see you live in the future.
4. Work with Influencers
Influencers, people with lots of followers on social media can help spread the word about your music. Some may promote your music for free if they like it. Reach out to influencers in your genre and see if they’d be willing to share your songs or videos.
