So everytime I go on Soundcloud (usually once a day or so) there’s a little orange circle next to my “Followers” list saying that a few new people have started following me (if I click on “Followers” there will be a few names highlighted in orange at the top). But, my followers seem to be stuck around the 280 mark and go up or down a little bit but never seems to get any higher despite having these new people following each time!
That’s because people try and build up followers by following any old random, then hope they follow back. When you don’t, they ditch you. If you do, sometimes they ditch you too.
I noticed my followers was a around a big number a few months ago and paid attention for a little while. During that period I had several people follow me, then unfollow, then follow again. They were just trying to get me to follow them back so in my mind they’re useless as a followers anyway.
I’ve been as high as 400+ the first few months I got on, then went down to like 60. Now I have like 90+. I mainly use soundcloud to send out links to my mixes to club owners/managers anyways, so I really don’t care about followers.
In my experience with soundcloud ( about 4200 followers, never decreased) once you gain a follower, be sure to offer them something they will be interested in, build interest around your work, comment back, reply to messages do some personal pr.
Also, follow people, lets not forget soundcloud is a social media platform first and an artist “meetup” second, people want to be followed so give people what they want.
