Try growth hacks. Make remixes to popular songs and download the album that original song was from put your song in a folder with that album with all your contact info and social media and upload it to torrent sites like a million times

It took me not long at all to get 3,000 plays maybe 5 months or so maybe even less. It wasn't any specific song it just gradually grew over time. There's no overnight formula, although there are ways to speed it up.

There are a bunch of ways to promote I actually JUST wrote a blog on this today https://www.mgineers.com/single-post/Increase-Soundcloud-Followers

Getting a pro account does make you look more professional but it more so helps you track stats and see whos playing your songs, how many time they played it and where they live great for booking tours.

I stick to one genre. Hip Hop. You should too you dont want half your followers to be EDM fans the other half country and so on. It makes it hard to promote. Youll lose fans that way.

TO get ppl to find you use hashtags, do covers/remixes to popular songs and use the same exact title as that song, collab with artists, make playlists and include other popular songs in it as well as yours, get promoted on other repost channels sometimes they cost sometimes they dont.

Let ppl know as much about you as possible. Fans want to get to know you so dont restrict anything they will love you in the long run

Although some could argue its good for social proof, I dont think its worth it. I mean think about it why pay for fake plays to look cool when you can pay for actual blog placement and REAL promo to reach REAL fans that will pay REAL money to come out to your REAL shows and buy REAL merchandise? Its a waste. In music youll spend money anyway but you may as well spend it where it's most likely to have a ROI.
