Followers are a vanity metric. A community is an asset.
Many artists focus only on follower count, but a disengaged audience is worthless. The most powerful growth hack is hiding in plain sight: your comments section.
Why Every Comment is a Golden Opportunity
When you reply, you're not just talking to one person. You're showing every future listener that you are an active, engaged artist who values their fans. This encourages more people to comment and follow.
The Algorithm is Watching
High engagement (likes, comments, reposts) is a major signal to the SoundCloud algorithm. By fostering a vibrant comments section, you are directly telling the platform that your track is valuable and should be shown to more people.
