It's release day, and it's got me thinking about the bajillion different options and ways to promote a song. What do you do when your song is going live on Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, Youtube, and everything in between?
The more info you try to cram into one post on social media, the less engagement that post will get. So if you have to choose one of the above platforms above, which one do you choose? Are you sacrificing Soundcloud followers if you only post the Spotify link? Are you sacrificing potential streaming income (lol) if you post the Soundcloud link? Is one of the above platforms prettier and more likely to get clicks when embedded in a post?
Would promotions like "win a free artist t shirt by sharing this post" work? Do you look like an idiot if nobody really wants your shirt anyways because EDM is niche and only like 10% of your facebook friends actually like your track?
Sorry, just thinking out loud. Would love to hear yall's experiences with all this stuff.
