Deleting my soundclick

Hey what's up everyone I'm really thinking of deleting my soundclick and I wanna know what you guys think of it. The main reason for this is because, now that I'm getting some industry looks, I feel like soundclick will only hurt me, not benefit me.

I just don't see the point of it anymore. I'm 16 years old, with no bills to pay, so making QUICK money isn't an issue for me right now. I think that if i Keep it, it will just devalue my brand.

I am currently doing in house production for Pablo Dylan (Bob Dylan's grandson), who is also a close friend of mine, on a daily basis. They contstantly tell me that i should get rid of it; that labels won't take me seriously if i have a soundclick, etc..

What are your guys's thought on it?????

THanks a lot :)

lol damn you're going hard hahah well my soundclick is pretty professional looking.. (SoundClick artist: Closer Productions - Dopest 16 Year Old Producer Out! For sound kits, scroll down!) i'm not worried about that i was just worried about not being taken seriously because i have a soundclick.. get me? but sure i'll pm u..
 
ppl won't look down on you because you have a soundclick page..but having a what ppl call a "true website" will be beneficial because you can do much more than what you do with a soundclick
can you make a blog using a soundclick????

your soundclick looks good.. and just because you're 16 doesn't mean you shouldn't take advantage of the advertising and marketing soundclick has built in.. so you can be making $2,500 to $5,000 per month to reinvest in your craft and maybe build yourself a "real" studio when you graduate

How do you determine the success of your brand?

Most people determine success in the value of money spent vs. money earned; however, there are other factors that determine success. Work ethic is the single biggest to contributor to success that I've encountered. As far as soundclick is concerned, keep it live. By cancelling, you'll be taking steps backwards instead of forwards. Add to your brand instead of taking away from it.

Instead, start a underground website for your current following and give yourself time to adjust to becoming a webmaster. Websites are different from VIP Soundclick profiles and will take some time to use effectively.

totally untrue Soundclick isn't amateurish....it's just another marketing tool and building your internet presence..like I posted before if you're ready to add to your internet presence.. my associate will help you set your website that will grow with your needs ...

placements are great...continue to make relationships with artists... be a producer and not a beatmaker.... is the advice I give all who are about the business side of music.... not just sitting down with some pads or some keys..
if you need help with your vision ....I can give your direction and a timeline to success
try your hand here as well

This is what I do.

Soundclick?... outdated?... amateurish?... WTF?...

Soundclick is a powerful social network for music professionals. It seems like you want to be taken serious as business person in the industry, but you're looking at it in the wrong light. Most of your current followers have found you through soundclick. Your best business move is to keep your soundclick VIP account and get a website.

The plan should be to migrate your current following to your new website. Those of your followers who stick only to soundclick can still get your latest updates.

Hundreds of thousands of people use soundclick. Your previous statement reminds me of something some amateurs would say about MySpace. Even though MySpace isn't the most popular social network in the world, they're still among the most popular used. This means you can still find what you're looking for on their network, as long as you know how it works and how to use them.

It's your business, I'm just trying to help. Get at me when you're ready to design your website. I get most people started for around $40. Contact me for one on one advice (713) 909-0713.

Listen dude, I am gonna throw some quick advice instead of trying to sell you a site:

Myspace is dead, officially will be dead soon and I mean "offline"

Soundclick is in decline but still going strong however many many users are leaving due to many reasons but the main one is the soundclick policy. The most recent story is about Warbeats.com owner NFX, look it up he wrote the whole article on soundclick. Plus its full of ''insert producers name here'' type of beats which are just cheap knock offs.

You can make your own website and it doesnt take a lot of skill to be quite honest, even a non technical person can make one if he/she has any common sense and knows how to use the interwebs. FACT!

There are plenty outlets for your music like soundcloud/bandcamp/youtube etc

The moral is that you ll get you placement not based on how many sites you have your music on but on the quality of your music and who have you worked with i.e. your music catalog so concentrate on that.

Peace

Didn't mean for it to come across like a salesman; even though, I design websites for a living. The $40 price doesn't go to me, it goes to Just Host which is the web hosting company that some of us you for websites. I only offer my help because hosting companies don't offer advice on topics such as this. I don't charge for consultation. My only goal was to help answer the question at hand.

I still make good money with MySpace, regardless of what people say about it being dead. If they go offline, they go offline; but, it would make more since for them to get bought out by Reverbnation or somebody. Use them or don't, it's totally up to the webmaster.

It helps to know HTML, PHP, and other languages when designing a site. The skills can be learned by anyone. Hire someone if you don't have the time to do it yourself. It's not as expensive as most people would think.
 
Keep the soundclick page. It just increases your web presence. When people google your name you will look more relevant. If anybody asks you about it just tell them that was at an earlier stage in your career.

If you were to google my name you would see lots of stuff that I don't mess with anymore in addition to my current projects. As long as your contact info is correct you should be fine. I would be more worried if I googled your name and only saw soundclick stuff. That makes you look amatuer. If your web presence shows that you are always working with new ideas and companies that shows that you are a true mover and shaker and have more experience than just selling beats on Soundclick.
