How often should one update their soundclick? I usually make a batch of beats and upload. I started uploading as soon as a beat was done but I don't make beats daily so maybe a weekly thing would be more successful. Idk. I miss the days when I could easily get into the top 50 of any soundclick genre with little to no promo (2004/2005) and not being that great. Now a days though I am lucky to get into the Top 200. And I hear average shit in the top 10. There are a few great cats there but most music doesn't wow me anymore and hasn't for some time.
I'm not even sure if theres a set in stone rule but, my flow would probably be a batch of beats every two weeks or so. My top beat right now got to #7 in the classical charts about two weeks ago. (still #14 now...It doesn't even have the best mix job in the world)
That in turn got plays to my older beats and they also started climbing back up the charts even though they had already peaked literally
four months ago. Some of them nearly got back just as high up as they were before. Right now I still have 12 different beats charting in different sub-genres.
That's another thing, don't put all your beats in one subgenre. I had two beats in the classical subgenre, but only one charted. I moved the other one to the Film subgenre THREE MONTHS LATER and it got to #95. It's #129 right now. Also, it was OP3 or Desmond A that mentioned that you shouldn't categorize your beats in the genres that have a lot of beats in them already. The top beat I mentioned earlier was posted at the same time as another beat I did. I placed the other beat in the hip-hop subgenre and it only got to #96 where the first one got up to #7 in classical, as I said. In another case, a beat in my catalog didn't even chart previously, then I moved it to the mid-west subgenre and it got to #45, still #54 now.
This is all with me being unable to keep my catalog up to date.
With that being said though, I do promo on twitter. A LOT. But that's all I do.
