Clip Bait was set up to offer some support and promotion to indie artists by featuring them here on my website, on my social media channels and on the Spotify playlist I curate called Clip Bait.
Let’s get two things out of the way before I go any further. Number One, this is FREE. Completely free. Number Two, I really don’t want anything in return. Now we’ve got those out of the way what is Clip Bait all about?
Since I started the Clip Bait section of my website I’ve reached out to a lot of artists asking them if they want to be featured on my website, on my social media channels and on my Clip Bait playlist on Spotify.
The offer is quite simple, if you are on Spotify and better still if you have a website I’ll promote your music – if I like it.
There are no strings attached and it doesn’t cost anything. I’ll put your music in front of thousands of potential listeners completely free of charge.
There’s a lot of artists who have got in touch with me and in all honesty I really appreciate them taking the time to do that. But a key component is that if I’m going to promote their music I must like it in the first place.
I recognise that’s a purely subjective thing and having someone say that they don’t like your music enough to promote it is unlikely to win friends and influence people, but it’s vital that I make that call, however unfair it seems.
I’ve heard some really good music, well recorded and performed, that just doesn’t do it for me and I have to turn those artists down.
On the plus side I’ve come across some amazing artists who are producing, to my ears at least, some quite exceptional music and I would ask everyone to take some time and listen to their brilliance on the Clip Bait playlist on Spotify.
Send me links to your website and Spotify page and I will promote your music – if I like it.
PLEASE NOTE – you must be on Spotify, if you’re not on Spotify then I will not promote your music.
I promote unsigned artists on this website, through my Facebook page with over 4,900 followers, my X (formally Twitter) page with over 3,800 followers, my Instagram page with over 4,500 followers and my LinkedIn page with over 6,400 followers and of course on the Clip Bait playlist on Spotify.
