It is widely known that producers have been able to make thousands of dollars selling beats online through SoundClick. Recording artists have also been able to generate quite a buzz on the website. However, there are still many people who may not know exactly how to get to the #1 spot on the SoundClick charts. The following information will provide you with some useful tips to get to the top of SoundClick.

Create an account

The first step is to log in to the SoundClick website. You will need to register an account with SoundClick. Set up your username and password. You will want to create a name for your artist/band/music production company.

The next step is critical to increasing traffic to your SoundClick pages. SoundClick has a special preference for its paying customers. Consequently, SoundClick members who create VIP accounts get special benefits, namely an extra boost in the charts. This is important because the higher you go up the SoundClick charts, the more opportunities you have to get free traffic to your website. The more traffic you get to your page, the more opportunities you have to get upsells and/or sales of your music. It costs around $10 USD to buy a VIP membership at SoundClick.

Upload beats, instruments and music

Now you want to start uploading your music so people can download your mp3s online. Upload as many instrumentals, beats and songs as you want. SoundClick does not have a limit to the amount of music you can upload to its servers. You can let people download beats/songs for free or you can just have streaming links available.

Promote, Advertise

This is the last, but most important factor in moving up the SoundClick charts. You want to constantly promote your beats, instrumentals, songs or music. You’ll want to focus on bringing unique listeners and viewers to your page.

A great way to easily do this is to allow people to download your music for free. If you are a producer, you must put in your title that your instrumental is a “Free Download” or “Free D/L”. If you’re an artist, make sure you promote your songs in the same way. The reason for doing this is to drive more unique viewers to your page.

You will also want to be active in the music forums. You’ll want to start posting links to music on your SoundClick page for people to check out. DO NOT SEND JUNK MAIL. This is the worst thing you can do! Look for threads within music forums where you can post links to your material. MAKE SURE YOU SAY IN THE TITLE OF YOUR POST “COMMENTS BACK” OR “DROP LINKS”. This will encourage people to listen to your music because you are offering to listen to theirs. It will also provide you with the unique views you need to move up the charts. Be sure to provide GOOD FEEDBACK!

The aforementioned items are just a few methods to initiate promotions and advertising. You can pay for advertising and use social networks, among other things, to drive traffic to your page. The key to moving up the charts is to establish a consistent advertising pattern. The more traffic you drive to your page, the more unique viewers you’ll get. As you continue to drive traffic to your page, you will continue to move up the charts. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get to number 1 overnight. Climbing up the charts is a process. Stay consistent and persistent until you reach your goals.
