What happens to all the reposts on SoundCloud?
ㅤ
When a SoundCloud user reposts your track, your track will show up in their profile. Also, and way more important, your track will go directly into the live feed (top left on the SoundCloud website) to all of their followers from that user who reposted your track.
All the followers of this user who are currently online and listening from the feed music may also hear your track. A small percentage of these users (usually 1-5%) will go on to play the track and potentially like/comment/follow or even repost it themselves. It is unlikely random users will check out your profile since they usually search for a specific track, listen to their favorite artists, or if they want to check out some fresh music or artists they will visit & tap into the feed to listen in from there. The feed is the hotspot on SoundCloud and gives you the opportunity to be easily discovered by other users.
Most important note here when launching a new track is to understand the only way to catch these real active SoundCloud users is in this live feed.

How can I make this process more successful?
ㅤ
SoundCloud is a worldwide music platform where people from different countries all over the world listen to music at different times of the day spread out across the week. In order to reach as many people as possible a good promotion should run a few days and not only a few hours. Beyond that, a good promotion service needs to make sure that each repost in each channel happens at different days and times in the day to ensure you get the most exposure as possible a service can provide for you.

What should be the goal of a good promotion service?
ㅤ
The goal from every real organic promotion service should be always - to keep your music as long as possible at the top of the live feed on SoundCloud.
(the place where most people listen and discover new music)
A good repost rhythm is something between every 30-60 mins per repost, in order to keep your music always under the last 10-30 tracks in the feed on SoundCloud and to make sure your track can easily be found by other users on different days of the week and times of the day. This would expand the chances of your track being discovered by new listeners.
In some cases, you may get a lot of interaction immediately (e.g. 100 reposts in an hour) and this may look impressive, but it's not effective and you just have a small chance to catch some real people, because your track is only on top of the feed on SoundCloud for a short timeframe. After an hour, your track drops too far down in the feed and can't be found there anymore by other users. Nobody scrolls down for half an hour. You can also assume that it's just bot promotion and no real people listening/reposting your music when you get hundreds of reposts in such a short period of time. Of course, the same applies to likes, comments and plays.

Final thoughts
ㅤ
We hope this guide helps you easily to decide between good or bad(bot) promotion. Knowledge is power so spread the word let’s try and make this platform a safe supported space for Artists. Your track deserves to be heard by REAL listeners and not faked by bot accounts & bot promotion.
