7 Tips For Marketing Your DJ Sets On Mixcloud

Mixcloud says its "Cloudcasts connect the dots between radio shows,
DJ mixes and Podcasts." These streaming shows tend to feature music, though talk shows are also available, and they're finding a lot of different ways to help DJs get seen from competitions to marketing advice on their blog. Recently, Mixcloud's Head of Community, Andreea Magdalina, shared "7 Tips For Getting Your DJ Sets Noticed On Mixcloud." Here's an introduction to marketing on Mixcloud.

Mixcloud is a web radio service with iOS and Android apps featuring what they call "Cloudcasts."

DJs are a big presence on Mixcloud and they are often featured in Mixcloud promotional efforts such as DJ competitions for shows and special musical content such as the Celebration of Curation 2013.
