I have been on Soundcloud for quite some time. I can't help but notice that some people have THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of listens and or followers. I say to myself, Okkk so it makes sense to me that the Diplo's, the David Guetta's, the Jazzy Jeff's, The Big name Celebs would have listeners and followers in the thousands. Then you see the locals or upcoming producers or dj's and they have thousands and thousands of listeners and followers. Sometimes I ask myself, is this legit? I personally have a respectable amount of followers and people who like or listen to my music on soundcloud. I recently have received some messages about companies promoting the option to "Buy Listens, Followers, Likes"?
So I say to myself, why would I pay people to listen to my music? Why would I pay people to follow me? I want followers who genuinely dig what I do. I want listeners who enjoy my music and my style. Does it make sense to you guys to pay for listens, likes, and followers? I dunno, maybe I am missing something. This is why I want to get everyones opinions on this? Surely everyone wants to get more people to pay attention to there Soundcloud page. But how far are you willing to go for this sort of thing. Would you pay $20 bucks or more to give more exposure to your page or have some random someone or people listen, like, or follow you?
I just want to hear everyones take on this. Me personally, I want people to like what I do because they just do. You start djing, you get your first couple of gigs, and one person here, one person there spreads the word that your a good entertainer. I want my name to spread that way. I don't want 60'000 listens or likes on my track cause I paid for it.
