Shit You Need To Know Before You Get Your Mixtape Hosted

The Truth About Mixtape Hosting

I received hundreds of emails from music artist asking me do they need a Dj to host their mixtape so I decided to write this article because I’m pretty sure that question comes across every artist mind at sometime when they’re about to drop a mixtape.

When it comes to mixtape hosting it should be used as a marketing tool in my eyes and what I mean by that is having someone like Trapaholics ,or DJ Drama host your mixtape would be a smart move because they are branded Dj’s with a huge fanbase and they will push your mixtape to their fans and connections which can get you heard by thousands if not millions of people fast.

I honestly wouldn’t pay a no name Dj at least at first because the whole goal is to help your branding and get your mixtape more exposure and if that DJ doesn’t have a fan base and established connections so how can he really help you out.

In the new digital music business anyone can get their music project out to the world with ease.That doesn’t mean your’re going to become an overnight celebrity,but nowadays you can have a dope video or dope song an go viral online in seconds and getting that type of exposure to me is more valuable they some Dj hosting your mixtape.Plus if you notice everytime an artist releases a Dj hosted mixtape they drop a no dj version within the next couple of weeks.

A lot of people think it’s annoying to hear a Dj yelling the same shit on top of songs so people like to listen to the artist lyrics and some Dj drops drown the lyrics out.  What I’ve also noticed is a lot of these new Dj’s just slap their name on a project make a low quality mixtape cover for it and call it a day.

Now don’t get me wrong their are good Dj’s out there and they don’t just work with anybody to make a quick buck they work with artist who have quality music that they believe in.These are they type of Djs you want to work with because not only will they just host your mixtape they will push the hell out of it thru our their advertising platforms

.

My final thought  is I believe having a Dj hosting your mixtape was more valuable back in the day then it is now.I think in 2016 and beyond independent artist should spend their money more wisely. I would spend that money on professional production,industry quality mixing, and professional  artwork like mixtape covers to Itunes designs. All of those thing are better investments than paying a Dj to host your mixtape.

So do you need a Dj to host your mixtape?No but if you’re trying to get exposure fast using a branded Dj is a smart idea.

Music Hosting With A Free Website Don't Get Overcharged Anymore!

Music Hosting

 Okay I'm gonna get straight to the point its 2 things I wanna talk about. First I'm tired of seeing all of you talented artist, beat makers, and dj's only uploading your music and beats to reverbnation, facebook, soundcloud,soundclick etc and not building your own brand. It's good to use those sites for traffic, but you can't relay on someone or some other website to build your brand for you, you have to do it yourself. I'm not saying those music sites can't help you because alot of people get fans and even  make good money from those sites including myself, but you also have to get your own website to brand you  so you have control over everything. What you should do is use those sites for bait with link from your music or beats and send them to your site for the full download and when visitors get to your website they enter there email to join your fan list and to download the song. You know how powerful that is imagine if you send all the traffic to your site then you build your own list of people who are interested in your music then when you ready to sales singles on items, or merchandise you have a list of targeted people who are genuinely interested in your music and your brand because they actually took time to enter their email to hear your music. and on top of that the list keep growing and you can market them with your products over and over thats how the big companies market, think about it your even probably on some companies email list now just like me lol , but any way thats a whole different topic in itself I will be touching or in my next post. to purchase something whatever the case my be. Anyway sorry I got off track ,but I wanted you to understand the power of marketing this way.Like I was saying websites go under face it it just happens sometime look at Myspace  nobody is advertising them anymore the same thing can happen with any of those sites, at anytime, but like I said they are great to us to generate traffic to your site for free I mean it  only makes sense, and if your gonna spend money and time on marketing promotion spend it on you.

Ok second thing don't get over charged for music hosting when you don't have to. It happened  to me one day when I first started out I just googled music hosting and I got my services thru the first company I seen just because they were number 1 on google. I really didn't know what I was doing (that was 5 years ago lol) ,so I just jumped in it head first  and boy did that get expensive 10   companies later lol.All I can say is  alot of of companies online straight up over charge for there hosting for musician sites or musicians and I'm sick of it me be a musician myself I know its hard enough as it is with spending money on marketing etc. .So here is the best music hosting site or website hosting you need point blank period it's Hostgator. The funny thing is no websites mention that when mention musician hosting.
