Artists across the globe at some point have encountered the same problem, “How do I make a name for myself?”. There are several avenues that you can choose to gain fans. The process of gaining fans is actually quite simple but vert difficult to execute. Youtube one of the best ways to get your music in front of eager consumers. The power of this platform is infinite. It can really make or break your career in the music industry. Lets say you make your own youtube account and start uploading  your own original songs, remix’s, bootlegs, or edits etc. Even if you put out a hit, how will people be able to know where to find your amazing song or who to look for? Exactly! There are already established music promotion channels on youtube that have millions of subscribers who upload artists music everyday. Why not try and use their platform to jumpstart your career? Just to name a few, Trap Nation, Spinning Records, Atlantic Records, WORLDSTARHIPHOP. These are all places that can promote your music, for free! Lets say you make a killer dance EDM track, go and find the platform that plays your style of music. In this case Spinnin’ Records would be the best choice. What you would do is submit your song or remix to Spinnin’ and if they believe in your song, they will upload it to one of their playlist on their Youtube account. Immediately after getting uploaded within a week you will get 100,000 views even if people do not like the song. Crazy right? Lets say that your song is taking off and within the first week you get 1 million views. Now people are starting to get into your track and maybe even replaying your song a few times. Within a week a million people have listened to your track and your already starting to get your name out there. Would you have been able to do this by creating your own youtube account and uploading your track? Maybe, but these platforms are designed for attracting subscribes. Why spend endless time on trying to get 100 subscribers when your can start with an already established distribution channel with fans dieing to hear your next song. These labels do not just put out any track they hear and it is very difficult to get a track signed  and played to their channel. The good news is there is nothing stoping you from trying.
