You also will want to get active in music forums. You will want to begin posting links to music on your SoundClick page for people to review. DO NOT SPAM. This is the worst thing you can do!

This will encourage people to check out your music because you’re offering to check out theirs. It will also provide you with the unique views you need to move up the charts. Make sure you provide GOOD FEEDBACK!

The aforementioned items are just a few methods to begin promotions and advertising. You can pay for advertising and use social networks among other things to drive traffic to your page. The key to climbing the charts is establishing a consistent advertising pattern. The more traffic you are driving to your page the more unique viewers you will get. As you continue to drive traffic to your page you will continue to climb the charts. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t make it to #1 over night. Climbing the charts is a process. Stay consistent and persistent until you reach your goals.
