SoundCloud artists who have upgrated to Premier, the platform's premium-tier membership, now have a new promotional tool in their tool belt. Today the digital service launced Promote, a self-service feature empowering creators to boost plays and lift their songs to the top of listeners' feeds and mobile pages.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"> Now you can promote your own track on SoundCloud. Check it out. <a href="https://t.co/shrWr1R4DX">https://t.co/shrWr1R4DX</a> <a href="https://t.co/Kl1FCxXeIs">pic.twitter.com/Kl1FCxXeIs</a></p>— SoundCloud (@SoundCloud) <a href="https://twitter.com/SoundCloud/status/1194375115942891521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 12, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
With Promote, Premier users can set their own budget and adjust advanced targeting options to, as SoundCloud's website puts it, "Get your music in front of our global tastemaker community." The promotional tool also allows artists to interact with fans and build real-time connections on the platform.
This new feature comes as part of the existing Premier plan, where artists get free distribution to every major music service with fast, direct payouts as well as, "Earn industry-leading revenue share on SoundCloud and keep 100 percent of your payouts from other services."
In order for artists to qualify for Premier and access the new Promote tool, they must be age 18 or older, be posting original music and have no copyright strikes against them and a minimum of 1,000 monetizable track plays on SoundCloud.
