Promote with Soundcloud

Soundcloud is a very beneficial website for artists, managers and labels. The website is an audio streaming website with mainstream artists, local artists and even producers. Sound designers are now starting to use it as their Foley portfolios to gain more gigs. The website contains dozens of tools to promote work. The site is also heavily active with events, auditions and gigs for a small fee.
Soundcloud provide musicians and others the ability to promote their work. Users can also sign up as a fan and explore local and international work. For artists, you can write a bio and provide beneficial links to others for promotion. You can also create playlist widgets to post on popular social sites and even your personal site. The website also gives the user the ability to connect and share with popular social site such as Facebook, Tweeter and Myspace.
One of Soundclouds beneficial tools is its charts position and artist stats. The charts position provides a local and/or an international chart position of how well the artist is progressing. The artist stats provide play count, widget hits and fans. The more fans the more plays the artist will receive, and the more plays the higher the artist will be positioned in the Soundcloud chart. Soundcloud also provides artist with an audition tryout and other ways to allow their name to be known. I personally use Soundcloud and receive many audition or event notifications locally and virtually.
Over all I believe the website is definitely useful for promotion. Artists and managers can also put up their music up for sale on iTunes and other popular music stores. Each user is also provided with a blog ad-on. Artist can use an emailing service to keep fans in tune. This website has it all for upcoming artist, bands and even producers.
