Have you already done it? Probably\u2026 When\u2019s the last time you did it? Recently?<\/p>\n

Have you searched \u201cget followers<\/em>\u201d on Google to look for ideas on how to boost your follower numbers on SoundCloud, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or other social platforms?<\/p>\n

For most music artists serious about their music career, the answer is most likely \u201cyes\u201d. And it makes total sense. Mastering the most effective ways of building a sizable social media fan base is pretty much a necessary skill set if you want to grow from bedroom producer to mainstage act.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Fans and listeners are more likely to check out music on an artist\u2019s SoundCloud, Facebook or YouTube profile page if they see a large following. They want to see \u2013 or listen to \u2013 what all the hype is about.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a huge trap out there!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The worst way to get followers for your music<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

<\/h3>\n

You have seen the ads on Google, on music blogs, on Fiverr:<\/p>\n

\u201cGet 1,000 SoundCloud followers for $5\u201d.
\n\u201cBuy SoundCloud followers\u201d.
\n\u201cSoundCloud followers from $1\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fake followers and bots \u2013 the cancer of social media!<\/p>\n

Fake followers can significantly hurt your profile pages and damage your success as a music artist. Instead of skyrocketing you to new career heights, they will drag you down. Here is why:<\/p>\n

Have you ever looked at another artist\u2019s profile and thought \u2018something seems off\u2019? They have a huge number of followers, but their tracks have almost no plays, likes, reposts or comments? Doesn\u2019t seem legit, right?<\/p>\n

Most music fans and professionals in the music industry have become smart enough to see right through those fake followers and attempts to manipulate stats. And it\u2019s a massive turn-off!<\/p>\n

Social media gives music artists the power to craft and develop an authentic persona as an artist. Leading on new listeners and potential fans that could really be interested in your music with a deception tactic is just a terrible way to start an artist-fan relationship.<\/p>\n

But it gets worse!<\/p>\n

Once you have those fake followers on your account, you likely cannot get rid of them – unless SoundCloud, Facebook, Youtube, etc. come to your help and delete those bot accounts. These fake followers are like nasty old chewing gum. They stick around, messing up your profile. And the more of them you purchased, the worse it is.<\/p>\n

Imagine you had 1,000 real followers and decided to get 9,000 fake followers on top of that to boost your SoundCloud profile to over 10,000 \u201cfans\u201d. That\u2019s means a whopping 90% of your SoundCloud fan base would now be fake, turning off any real fans and dragging you down!<\/p>\n

The only way to reduce the impact of those sickening fake followers is to outgrow them with real followers. But that\u2019s a tall order! Now you would have to gain at least 8,000 REAL followers to even reduce the impact of those fake accounts to 50% or less!<\/p>\n

But painfully, you also made it more difficult than ever for yourself to grow new real followers because of the turnoff you got yourself into with all those fake accounts. At that point, you might as well consider starting an entirely new profile page\u2026<\/p>\n

So, but how can you accomplish both: showing off fast growing social media stats AND<\/strong><\/em> doing all of this with REAL followers only?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best way to get followers for your music<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

<\/h3>\n

The answer is simple. You just need three things:<\/p>\n

#1 good music +
\n#2 basic promotion (free or paid) to get your music heard by real people +
\n#3 a tool that automatically converts those listeners into REAL followers for your social profiles.<\/p>\n

If you have #1, then we got you covered! #2 and #3 are obviously what Hypeddit does best (Ohhh! Shameless plug! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

But any self-promotion aside, the truth of course is that there are other download gates and promo services out there that can do similar things. It\u2019s not about which specific tools and services you use \u2013 it\u2019s just about following the simple three tactics above. It\u2019s entirely up to you to decide which \u201cweapons\u201d you like best as long as you focus all your efforts on growing real followers with good music and smart promotion.<\/p>\n
