Tips On Promoting Your Music For Free (VIDEO)

Congratulations on finishing your project at Untold Stories Recordings in Chicago! Now that your music is ready, it’s time to share it with the world. Here are three helpful tips to promote your music without spending any money.

Tip #1: Build an EPK (Electronic Press Kit)

Think of your EPK as a mini-pamphlet for your music. In a simple email, include a striking image of your album cover, a couple of paragraphs introducing yourself and your music, and links to your social media accounts.

This will help you tell your story and connect with new listeners.

Tip #2: Support your outreach with a Google Drive link

Upload a PDF of your press release and create organized folders with your songs, offering both clean and explicit versions. This way, media outlets and DJs can easily find what they need without hassle.

Tip #3: Skip the fake and focus on the real

Avoid the temptation to buy fake reviews or inflated plays. Instead, put energy into contacting college and community radio stations, local blogs, and newspapers.

Though they might have smaller audiences, these platforms genuinely care about music. Their recommendations can lead to a passionate group of fans who will support you and share your work.
