Repost Exchange

Repost Exchange is like the cheat code for soundcloud promotion.

It’s a website that allows SoundCloud users to repost, comment, and like each other’s music.

It’s also free to use!

You get free credits for reposting other artists music. You will use those credits to get your song reposted.

The reposts expose your song to new potential fans. Some will like, repost, and play your music.

You can also buy credits if you want to blow up faster.

How to use repost exchange

Playlist

Most artists think of Spotify when they hear the word playlist.

Soundcloud also has playlists and they are good for getting plays and likes.

To get your song added to a playlist you first need to find a good one.

Use the search feature to search your genre. Narrow the search by choosing to view only playlist.

Find a playlist with a lot of likes in your genre.

Listen to the songs on the playlist to make sure your song fits.

Once you find the right fit. Send them a message asking for them to review your song for their playlist.

It will take a lot of attempts but your song will be added if it’s good.

You can also sign up for soundcloud pro. This will expose your song release to 100 or more people and you get to submit to soundclouds own playlist.

Soundcloud pro is a good way to boost your initial plays and likes.

Ads are a good way to get more plays and likes. They also give you the most control over how fast your soundcloud grows.

The goal of ads is to get fans who will engage with your music.

This will give you consistent plays and likes that grow as those fans share with others.

The most important things to consider with ads is how much you invest and how much you will profit.

You only want to invest money you will not need for years. It could take years before your investment breaks even.

You also want to choose an amount you can commit to no matter what happens.

The amount you invest in ads should increase and never decrease.

With consistency with ads for soundcloud you can gain fans that do more than play and like your music.

These fans over time will go to the links on your profile to learn more about you.

If you have links to other things they can buy like merch you will start profiting.

Collaborate

You can get more plays and likes by doing what you love. Making music!

Creating music with other artists is fun and helps get you more plays and likes.

Here’s how to do it.

Find an artist on soundcloud with music you’re feeling. Don’t worry about follower numbers. Only focus on music quality.

Find a song you like. Find something specific about the song you find that sounds good.

Send the artist a message letting them know how much you like their music. Point out what part stood out to you.

Ask them to check out your music and ask if they want to collaborate on a song.

If your music is good you will get some artists that want to make music with you. Try to build a good relationship so you can use this for promotion in the future.

This will expose you to their fans and followers and will help you both get more plays and likes.

Do this consistently to see results increase over time.

Consistent Engagement

Soundcloud is like a social media platform. It’s meant to start conversations and interactions.

You can take advantage of this by engaging as much as possible.

To engage you want to comment on songs you like. Do this on large and small artists’ songs.

If you do this and comment something of value. Soundcloud users will click on your profile from your comments.

Your music will buy you a house one day.

This will make new potential fans aware of your music which can get you more plays and likes.

The other way of engaging is through repost.

You can repost songs from your account without repost exchange.

The artist profile of the song you repost will receive a notification of your repost. Some will click over to your profile.

A lot of people take ‘engaging’ too serious.

Like bro, just comment on people’s posts you enjoy.

And do that everyday

Doesn’t have to be in a specific niche using specific language or adding value.

Just comment your thoughts.

Like you’re talking to your mates.
