Nothing.
Same for Youtube. I would have to be detected by someone with a huge number of followers to take off.
If I make an awesome post on start-up or about an experience, and I post it and HN, I could go from 0 to lots of good (read "targeted") traffics.
If I make a great anwser on Quora, I could go from nothing to lots of readers.
- visakanv 13y agothe trick is to start with something that people are already interested in- this is why youtube artists start by doing covers of popular material, which gets the audience interested. do an interesting cover, do something relevant, exciting, quirky, funny, compelling.
- drawkbox 13y agoThat can happen. But on soundcloud you also get followers, replays, loves etc. I find artists there all the time I would never find anywhere else. myristica is one: https://soundcloud.com/myristica/into-the-night https://soundcloud.com/myristica/into-the-night or this: https://soundcloud.com/myristica/beyond-the-glow https://soundcloud.com/myristica/beyond-the-glow so good. I'd say anything good is built slowly, iteratively, each fan/follower appreciated and eventually you keep putting content on as many channels as you can, one will pick up or hit some sort of momentum and you run with it. New artists are discovered all the time on Soundcloud. I can't live without BLOOD BROS. I have shipped tons of product to this: https://soundcloud.com/maddecent/blood-bros-iii-back-in https://soundcloud.com/maddecent/blood-bros-iii-back-in Not against Quora in anyway, I like it, get traction however you can wherever you can and especially places where people are looking for what you make.
