A lot of artists sell their music from the very start. Of course, this is great. It means that you can make a little bit of money on the side while your dreams grow. But, this will usually limit the amount of people that you can reach out to with your music. People are less inclined to spend money on an artist that they don’t know. This makes sense, too. So, it can be worth getting involved with some widespread free releases. Services like iTunes allow musicians to submit their music for a free song of the week, every seven days. A lot of people download these songs every time that they come up. So, this is a great way to make sure that your music is being seen. There are other services like this, too.

If you manage to get a lot of viewership very quickly; more and more people will see your video. People will start to share them on social media; allowing even more people to find your work. All-in-all this is a great way to get your voice heard and your name out there. Making videos get popular online can be somewhat of an art. When it comes to music, creativity and flair usually contribute to popularity. But, you can even help things along. You can share music with friends and family to get the ball rolling.

The field of music has always been an incredibly collaborative one. For hundreds of years, musicians have worked together to try and increase their own popularity. When you have two artists performing on the same piece of music, you increase the potential viewership to both parties fanbases. This means that both artists have the chance to gain more exposure from this. The idea of trying to release music with a big artist is very attractive. But, this will probably be impossible; unless you get noticed early on. Most artists will try and work with people at a similar level to them. This ensures that both parties get the same benefits from the arrangement. And, people won’t see the collaboration as a negative thing.
