I've been using social media to post direct links to my profile at the top streaming services like YouTube, Spotify, Amazon and Apple. TikTok for posting shorts with song clips. When it comes to getting your stuff out there its really about your budget. Collaborate with other artists or influencers to widen your audience. Use a distribution service to get your music on as many platforms as possible. Reach out to music bloggers and podcasters to get featured. They often share new music with their audience, which can lead to increased streams.
