How platforms like Soundcloud and imusify help independent artists and musicians achieve fame
Musicians need fame to better succeed. Fame is an important component of the music industry and any business that requires followers or fans. Many musicians struggle to earn good money through gigs, streaming payouts, and royalties — just because they don’t have a large followers base. It is hard to create great music, but it’s even harder to make it heard. Even if artists promote themselves through social media, performances or concerts, they still need to grow their fanbase. With online-based music applications like Soundcloud and imusify, independent artists can connect better than ever with their listeners. How these platforms can truly help artists grow their followers base and reach fame, and ultimately provide alternative revenue streams? How imusify can even help artists build both fame and fortune?
