Most "music promotion" services sell you bot views. You pay $50, get 10K views from accounts that will never listen to your track again, and your algorithm ranking actually gets worse.

Here's what I've learned actually moves the needle for independent artists:

Target real listeners, not numbers. 500 genuine fans who save your track > 50,000 bot plays that bounce in 3 seconds. The algorithm knows the difference.

Video is king right now. A solid music video gets shared 3x more than audio-only posts. If you're only dropping on streaming platforms, you're leaving reach on the table.

Consistency beats virality. One video every two weeks to an engaged audience compounds faster than praying for one viral moment.

I run a video promotion service specifically for independent musicians. No bots, no fake engagement — just your music in front of people who actually care about discovering new artists.
