Now, for those of you who don’t know who I am digital marketing myself, I specialize in helping artists, like you, guys, get their songs heard through platforms like Spotify, Instagram, YouTube and a bunch of others. What I want to talk to you guys about today is how to run up your place on soundcloud, and this isn’t a platform that I necessarily will recommend you guys to work.
I do personally have my own beliefs about SoundCloud and trust me I’ll be doing a article on that in the future. But I haven’t gotten a lot of questions from you, guys asking me how you can start to build your place up on soundcloud how you can start to get your songs out there so on and so forth. So I want to give you guys a couple of tips, some that I’ve noticed and kind of seen in my recent past working with SoundCloud and some they have come directly from SoundCloud themselves.
They recently put out a blog article talking about ways that you can optimize your soundcloud page, so that your songs are spread a lot more, so I’ll be digging into that as well. So with that being said, let’s get right into it all right now. The first tip comes directly from SoundCloud itself and it’s make sure that you’re as discoverable as possible, meaning that you want to have your titles and your descriptions in order.
Don’t have anything like track number one. The track number two and don’t add any unnecessary and extra characters or symbols that will make it hard for people to find you. So whatever your name is on Instagram or Twitter or whatever other profiles, you use make sure that it’s as close to it as possible within the track description and the track title for your song, so that people can easily lift you up and find you.
You also want to make sure that your album art is the highest quality and resolution, as you can possibly get. Soundcloud doesn’t really like to work with low res photos and I’ll make it a little harder for you to be discovered and for people to want to actually come and check you out when they do stumble upon your profile. The main thing here, guys is consistency. Consistency across your track descriptions, consistency across your titles and consistency across your album art will make you very discoverable on soundcloud, giving you a better chance of being picked up by the platform’s algorithm and having your songs actually spread out within the platform, and the second thing That you guys want to make sure that you’re doing is taking the advantage of sound clouds genre and mood now, just like all the other streaming platforms.
Soundcloud does in fact have its own algorithm that they used to determine how other people are hearing songs and what songs come up next after this song and so forth and so forth. So SoundCloud uses their algorithm based on the tax and the genres that you guys are using. So you want to use as many as you possibly can. That relates to your song and relate to your audience. So if you’re a rapper, your manager, I’m attack may be hip hop.
You may have a chilled mood or a sleepy mood, or something like that tagging it with as many relevant tags as possible, increases your chance of being picked up by the algorithm being spread to these people, who are looking for songs based on these types of tags. In these types of genres and increasing your chance that you actually hit the audience that you want to hit and that’s the best way to make sure that your music spreads on soundcloud, honestly so before each song release make sure that you have a list of tags.
And subgenres listed out that you can use with each song time and time again. This way, you’ll make sure to hit the same niche over and over spreading your music out amongst the people, who really care about the types of songs that you’re making and putting you in front of a relevant audience anyway. Now the next thing that you’ll want to make sure that you’re doing is taking advantage of repost networks and the repost function on soundcloud in general.
Now, in my opinion, they don’t work as well as they did. I would say two or three years ago, but they’re still the most effective way for you to grow your song on SoundCloud itself. You can either reach out to people who are bigger than you and see how much they’re charging for repost I’ve seen a couple of popular DJs and even like smaller lesser-known artists, who still have large fan bases who offer repost as well or you can take advantage Of repost network, which is a website that actually sales repost from different large SoundCloud accounts, just go in there and make a profile dig through the ones that make the most sense.
For you see how much they cost and get those guys to repost as long as well or if you guys, are trying to stay more inside of your budget or if you don’t really want to spend money on repost at all. What you can do is start the build your own repost network, using friends, artists, DJs and producers, who are all in similar size and demographic as you as well. This would make it easier because your starter kind of associate brands with people who are also trying to build themselves up and pretty much be sharing fan bases with other people who can pretty much pitch it into yours and you’ll be helping a lot.
By doing the same now on SoundCloud, your repost network is like gold, so they’re stronger, vennett way that you build the better chances that you have of spreading your song out outside of your own network, increasing its views, increasing its reach and increasing your chance of picking Up new fans, so just to give you guys a little recap. The first thing that you want to do is make sure that you’re as discoverable within the platform itself, meaning that you want to make sure that your titles are order, that your descriptions are in order and that you’re using the same name on soundcloud as the one That you’re, using on all your other social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter or whatever it is that you guys are using the second thing that you’ll want to do is make sure that you’re using SoundCloud genre and mood tags, like I said, SoundCloud has its own Algorithm that it uses to determine songs that played next with in other people’s on Play, listing and their track efforts, and things like that.
So, the more that you tag your songs or there’s many relevant tags as possible, the better chance that you have of SoundCloud algorithm, picking you up and spreading your songs in the platform without you even having to do much work. And the third thing that you guys want to do is make sure that you build a strong repost network. You can do this by hitting up DJ’s or rappers or other artists who are offering repost for whatever price.
It is that they offer make sure that you’re getting the best bang for your buck and it actually helps to spread your song or you can always tap into artists who have a similar genre and niche and same size following as you two start, the build you Guys it’s on repost network of similar style artists, or you can always use a website like repost Network, just go in make an account find pages that are actually offering repost and figure out, which ones make the most sense for you, your style of music and your Budget now make sure to leave their link to the original SoundCloud blog post in the description below, so that you guys can check out some of the other tips that they had.
I didn’t feel like really needed that much of a real description, but you can always go through it, read through it yourself and get from it. What you need now, as always guys if you feel like you, learned me pain today, please make sure you like to share this article, hit those post notifications so that you guys don’t miss anything. I want you guys to learn everything and anything that you possibly can with.
That being said, my name is Corey and I’ll see y’all next time.
People are always suffering more. Yes, People who think they are good, they are simply a suffering (, Laughter, ), Isn, ’ t it so Please look at this ( Laughs ). Now, first of all, how did you become good He is not okay, she is not okay, he is not okay, he is not okay, he is Not okay, she is not okay compared to all these people.
I am a good man From Where did you get the idea that you ’ re good, tell me, You have compared yourself with lots of people and You labelled everybody as bad, and now you feel good. Somebody who thinks is very good in his mind. Nobody in the world is okay, The more good you think you are, nobody is Okay, for you Is that so Isn ’ t it so People who believe they are very good people. Nobody wants to go anywhere near them because they ’ re, so good.
No life can Happen: (, Laughs, ), Your goodness is only in comparison with Something else: isn, ’ t it, Yes And you establishing yourself as good and making Every…, if every… all these people are wretched, people then “. I am a really good man, ” isn, ’ t it. Isn, ’ t it. So Good people won’t get anywhere either in this world or in other world. Can you Take a joke: Do you have good digestion, Hmm Participants, ___ (, Unclear ), Sadhguru, Hmm Participants, ___ (, Unclear ), (, Sadhguru, laughs, ) Sadhguru? I was not talking about that digestion.
( Laughter ) One day in his previous life Shankaran Pillai Was a good man After a brief illness, he died Being a good man. He naturally went to heaven He landed up at heaven There at the reception committee of angels, Opened his account book Page after page, good deed, good deed, good deed, Good deed, good deed cover to cover only good deed. Then the angels were in confusion. Then they came To Shankaran Pillai and said “, Mr Pillai, there ’ s a little problem here: ” He asked “, What is the problem? ” He said… The angels said “ See here we have various Kinds of accommodation in heaven, various levels of accommodation, One bad Deed means highest heaven – seafront view Two bad deeds – next level of accommodation.
Three Bad deeds – next level of accommodation like this, But no bad deed. We don ’ t have such a place. We Really don, ’ t know what to do. You are the first man to come, like this., ” Shankaran Pillai thought “ What nonsense In the world nobody wanted to come near me. Because I was such a good man, I lived with a hope of getting got heaven And even here problem ( Laughter, ), ”, Then the angels had a discussion and they Arrived at a conclusion, They said: “ Don, ’ t! You worry Mr.
Pillai We have found a solution. Your body is still intact. There, We ’ ll, give you three Hours of life Just commit one bad deed. We ’ ll, put you in the highest heaven, nothing is lost, ” Low Shankaran became… Shankaran Pillai became alive here. Then. He Sat there thinking how to commit a bad deed And hour-and-a-half passed away, See he is not Like you, he has no practice ( Laughter ) After hour-and-a-half.
He remembered in the Neighborhood there is a woman who is well beyond her prime Who ’ s been casting inviting glances at him? He being a good man? He never looked that way. Now he thought “. Okay, adultery is a bad deed., ” Because after all, he ’ s going to do whatever He is going to do just to go to heaven, So he went looking for the woman. He went and Knocked on her door, She came and opened the door When she opened the door Shankaran Pillai Said “, I want you.
, ” “. Why Mr.Pillai? Just yesterday evening, they Told me you are on your death bed. What is this ”? He said, “, It doesn, ’ t matter. I want you. ”. He went in You. Know nature took over things happened between them. He doesn, ’ t want to die in her house. Time is running out. So he told her “, I need to go ” and he came to the door. The woman came to see him off. And she said: “ Mr.
Pillai: do you know what a good deed You ’ ve done for me today: ” (, Laughter, ), One more good deed, (, Laughter ). What to do So! Good people will neither make it here nor there It ’ s, not your goodness, which liberates you. Your Goodness is only in comparison with somebody else, Your goodness being in comparison with somebody Else it ’ s, not about goodness it ’ s about a kind of sickness.
It ’ s. Just like Right now, people are going about like this. They are happy they don. ’ t know what joy is Their happiness is just that they have things that other people – don – ’ t have Isn, ’ t it. Now, let ’ s say you are all very hungry, but my stomach is full And I feel so happy that Nobody has food, but at least I have something to eat. Is this happiness or sickness? Hmm Humanity is suffering from this sickness, which is passing off as happiness for most people.
This replaces the payment forms on a site with a much simpler experience on mobile devices. So let’s talk about paying for things on the web. This is a longer talk, so let me give you an idea of what’s coming up. First, we’ll talk about the user experience today and what could be better, we’ll look at the payment request, API twice.
First, to give you the big picture, then we’ll dive into the code. Finally, you’ll get the usual resources in lab. It’s no surprise, given the rise of mobile computing, that a majority of commercial traffic is coming from mobile devices, what is surprising is that 66 % of that mobile commerce is still happening on the web, even when people have native apps installed. Unfortunately, we also see a lot lower conversion rate on mobile web relative to desktop websites.
Mobile conversions are about one third of the desktop conversions. If you wonder why this is the answer is pretty simple. Checking out collecting payment from the user is still rather messy. People often give up while filling the checkout form some checkout forms have improved since the beginning of web Commerce. What hasn’t changed is you still have to manually input the same information credit card billing address and shipping address? Our first step to solving this problem is autofill, because autofill works on existing forms.
You don’t have to modify your site. Autofill just works to help users check out faster autofill alone increases conversion rates by 25 %. Autofill does a good job of identifying form fields, but it’s not perfect. If you want an even better experience, you can have the autocomplete attribute to your forms. In this example, we’ve annotated the credit card portion of a form using values such as CC name and CC.
Number autofill will know exactly where to place its information. If you want to learn more about autocomplete attributes search the web, using what WG autofill to find the specification, autofill gets rid of the manual nature of data entry and makes it much simpler for the user. The current checkout experience presents you with a form to fill out every time for users, though the ideal experience would be that, when it’s time to buy they just buy site should be able to focus on creating an amazing and engaging shopping experience without worrying about optimizing.
A long checkout form this is where the payment request API comes in, we’re going to look at it first from a user perspective and then look at the code. What if we could do away with the form using web payments when it’s time to pay the user? Just pays payment request is a simple JavaScript API that helps the browser collect payment information. Then it’s a simple one: tap checkout for the user and an easy way for a site to receive a payment.
With the payment request API, you can make the whole process much faster and simpler and since the browser is actually taking care of collecting payment information from the user, we go from end taps to one tap. Let’s take a quick look at the code flow here. First, the site initiates a payment request in this request. The website passes to the browser the parameters of the payment, for example, how much is being charged and the available forms of payment? Don’t worry about the details now we’ll come back in a few minutes and look at this in detail.
The browser then determines the intersection of payment methods from the site and what the user has. It then presents a selection UI where the user chooses their method of payment. You get the UI by calling show this displays a native UI over the browser within this UI, the user can change how to pay the delivery method and the delivery address. The payment method can be credit cards or one of the apps that’s installed on their device, such as Android pay and, finally, the user taps on pay.
Then the browser requests a response from the selected payment method. This might be an app on your device or going directly to a payment provider. The payment processor verifies the request by examining its details and then returns the response directly to the server and the website now has all the information it needs to process the payment. Is this safe? The API is more secure than forum based payments.
The new payments are based on modern cryptography. You don’t need to enter payment data that could be logged or observed at the point of entry. Autofill is safe from website access and is typically stored. An encrypted storage on the hard drive to prevent disclosure, even when the OS is compromised payment request, is not just a chrome only API. The API is currently under development in the w3c web payments working group.
The goal is to create a universal cross browser standard for any website to accept any form of payment so to review payment requests, eliminates manual and tedious entry by storing the user’s information securely in the browser. The browser passes, addresses and credit card details immediately and securely to the site, and since the browser is collecting payment information from the user, we go from end taps to one tap: you’ve seen how payment request works for the user.
Now, let’s go over the code in more detail. First, a quick review. The site initiates a payment request in this request. The website passes to the browser the parameters of the payment, including the price and the payment methods accepted. The browser determines the intersection of payment methods for the site and the user and presents a selection. Ui payment can be anything from a simple credit card payment to a payment application installed on the user’s device.
The browser requests a response from the selected payment method and returns the response directly to the merchant. There are multiple code samples for this on: Google, Chrome, github, dot, io. Let’s start writing some code. Step 1 is to tell payment requests. All the ways you can get paid. Step 2 is to define the details about the actual transaction cost items, currency, shipping options and so on.
Here’s an example of how you would define shipping options notice. The selected bit you can include this: if you have multiple options, the browser will tell you which one the user selects step 3 is to define what information you want. The API to collect. Take the three data structures you just created and pass them to the payment request. Constructor. You often do this when the user indicates they’re ready to pay, take the request and call it show method.
This returns a promise and opens the user interface. The UI shows the details of the purchase and collects payment information when the user approves the prom resolves with a payment response object. Next, you should check that the payment is valid. Send the information to your payment processor for processing the UI will show a spinner while the request takes place when a request comes back, call complete to close the UI.
The complete method tells the user agent that the user interaction is over. The payment response object contains everything needed to submit a payment for credit card payments. The response is standardized for non credit card payments such as Android pay. The response will be documented by the provider. There’s one loose end to tie up what happens if the user changes their shipping address or options.
This may change the total cost and in some cases, may change the shipping options. Payment requests can omit shipping address, change and shipping option change events. You should add event. Listeners for these and update the payment details. Accordingly, the sample code will show you how and that’s it. You can find a full set of resource links on this final slide. You may have noticed. I didn’t mention a lab, we’re just finishing it up at the time of filming, so check your lab notebook for a complete ecommerce example.
All right, I was asked to review repost exchange and I was like I’ve. Never done it before I’ve never used repost exchange, so I can’t really review it. So what I’m going to do is I’m going to use it live right and let you guys go through my first time experiencing using it trying to keep it really short about less than 10 minutes and I’m going to let you see the phases and what I Think about in the process, let’s get into it all right.
So, as you guys already know, I’m not an artist. So what I’m going to do is take an artist profile that we work with all right. Her name is Hadassah really dope. Music definitely go check her out and we’re going to push this track by the name of my funny Valentine. Did you see this track was released two months ago, four thousand five hundred twenty nine followers, no streams and then seven comments.
188 likes 14 repost. Now I’m interested to see what we can get this thing to I’m going to do in phases, because, honestly, I’ve never used a platform before so there’s just some of that. Some of the apprehension, like am I doing this wrong? Am I wasting the money? How does this really go? I’r going to go to 500, the first time around and just to do it like at this phase and then later on, I’m going to probably try to just blow the rest of the budget, but I want to do it one time.
Just to get a feel of it and we’ll do an update with both portions of it. So for this first one I’m not going to get fancy use the budget to identify as useful comments. It’s already selected, so I’ll just leave it how it is. If I go down in each onra, three posters must meet the following conditions. Preferred jamas must include now doesn’t seem to make sense to include any genre, so I’m going to use the track genre or as she chose or in being so so we’re going to have people who’s referred.
John is a army and soul right. The genre of the song, the rest of this stuff max followers max number of repost max number of repos per day average – I’m not fully. You know, I don’t know, I don’t have any preferences so I’ll just leave the defaults on and this other thing up here. I kind of grazed by it, but I did read it one time earlier: the campaign, no, actually everybody might not be able to hit it, and then they say they have yeah again now in terms of these other.
Now, in terms of max number followers, repost or Reapers now, in terms now in terms of max number of followers repulsed or repost per day, I don’t really have a preference and I don’t really understand enough to know whether I should go higher or more. I can play some logic to it, but again it’s the first time. So, let’s just do it run it start with 500. Do I have to do anything else all right reaches at 0.
We’re just getting this thing started. Here is article 1 phase 1 and let’s see what happens here is phase one of my repost exchange test. Let’s see where he goes alright, so I think it’s more effective to put part 1 and 2 in the same article for the first time around. So that’s exactly what’s about to happen, but before I even get into the results I want to say I actually love it already enough to go ahead and say use the free version of this.
It is a free version of it. You can have paid stuff. If you want to boost things faster, but use the free version of it and you can get your stats up I’ll put a link in the description below, because these stats look like this, I got a change of 227 streams, 22 likes 24 repost and 11 comments. This is over a day and but I’ll go deeper into it in my pre-recorded article, so you can see what I think about everything alright, and these are eleven comments that got made.
I myself made some comments not on this article, but on other people’s stuff. So I know how a real it is. I’ve been a part of the process you can get on the platform. You can test that out. You’ll see how you can pretty much there for the most part like this isn’t happening. Real I’ve gotten requests in there and credits and commenting on people’s stuff and I’m not going to get into the details of how they verify and make sure it’s pretty quality.
But let’s get into some other details. Cuz you’ll see, on the back end all the comments that were made because of the campaign and the repost exchange. Your vocals are smooth and well control. Alright, there’s all this cool stuff. I love this. I can’t wait to hear more from you there’s some of these comments that are pretty funny, but here’s the thing for me get more credits. So when I say I’ve spent 500 credits $ 29.
99 will buy you, one cows and critters. I spent 14 dollars 49 and a half cents and got those it was those results. So we’re not even talking about a lot of money piled on your credit sounds like a lot, but we’re breaking it down that I got a 132 blaze and 11 comments and authentic comments and some repose for $ 14. When we’re talking about my vinik, this is beautiful. Alright, I think it’s something that a lot of people should really consider and keep in mind, but I actually am running a second-level campaign with Hadassah, because I don’t want to just do it as a one-off situation.
Alright, we ran 500 one time. 500, more credits run another campaign with pedasi. Now, if you look at this, of course, you put their profile link in there. You click my funny Valentine or the solar running, but I want to do things a little bit differently. This time also ignore the sean talking in the corner, because that sean talking in the corner is wrong. I had to report your first time on you, so 500 credits, I’m let you begin I’m going to leave.
They enable comments plus on there and then I’m going to leave I’m going to take it back to R & B soul right. I want to keep it on our diesel for a reason, and that reason is the first time I tested it. I do the RV, so what I want to try to figure out this time is what is the impact of changing the maximum number of followers? So, yes, you guys know this platform works, but is there a better reason or a better quality of campaign that you can get from doing a certain maximum number of followers and you’re filtering? A lot of that can lead back to simply the idea that it’s someone with more followers you post yourself, then you’re going to have a higher reach which we’ll get back into, but even with that being said, you still are going to have to spread that same Amount of credit, so people with more reach, they actually are more costly or can be more costly.
We’re going to wait and see what the second phase of a Dyson’s campaign looks like, and I’m also going to throw another track into the mix, because it’s not fair to just do a goss’s track. I think it is great, but I know some people might say. Well, you know she has a little bit of a following that y’all have been building on another platform, maybe that spilled over into SoundCloud. If you look at the time, if you look at the timing of the results, know the results.
If you look at the timing of the results to the track on Spotify, being it’s pretty clear that it came to Rico’s exchange and not the other platforms, because we market other platforms to go to Spotify music blank, I’m going to start this artist who’s starting pretty Much from Ground Zero, so y’all can see what that looks like stay tuned all right, so that was my first experience with repost, exchanging, as I said, I’m going to keep testing and I’m going to keep doing these articles showing you all.
You know what my results. Look like so you can get that idea, especially for the ones who need to continue to like see logic. Some of y’all are just going to hop in right, and some of y’all are just going to continue to learn before you use either way it’s fine, but I’m telling you. I think it’s worth it, especially since there’s a free tier, where it’s more manual labor to get your your music feedback and get other people to see it versus paying any kind of money at all.
That’s why I went ahead and suggested it so soon, because there’s a free tier, where there’s low risk but paid campaigns. I think they’re worth it as well on this platform go ahead and check it out. The Lincoln is it is in the description below repost exchange. I think we’re onto something but keep reading the test. All right. Let’s see if I changed my mind, I doubt it all right, but let’s see where I’m going to I’m going to do several other articles to make sure y’all are tuning in as educated as possible before you make any kind of crazy mistakes and, as always, if You, like this article, go ahead and like button.
If you liked it, you might as well share it and if you’re not subscribed, you know what to do subscribe.
Api is a w3c standard to eliminate payment forms for users and standardized payment collections for sites. It allows us to request payment and shipping information with a single API call.
This knows how to run Apple pay on iOS Safari and Google pay on Android. It’s not limited to those to any payment provider can write a plug-in. It’s not even restricted to one browser. It’s probably in the browser you’re using right now the browser simply acts as an intermediary collecting the information we need in a consistent way. Then returns a JSON object with the results that we can use to collect the payment.
If you have used a pay with Apple pay or pay with Google pay button in the browser, you already know what the experience will be, like developers previously used custom libraries to implement this, such as the Apple pay, API or the Google Wallet API, and if you Want to do that too great, but if you want to work with whatever payment system, the user has payment request. Is your friend, let’s take a quick look at the code flow and user experience? We want to buy this jacket, what happens when we tap buy now? This is an ordinary button with an ordinary event handler.
First, the site creates a payment request, object and populates it with some details. It typically has the price, a list of items being purchased and the available forms of payment. This is all invisible to the user. We need to trigger the payment user interface, you get the UI by calling payment request, dot, show this displays a native UI over the browser and returns a promise. The next few steps are all happening inside this promise.
The first screen is a summary of the information supplied by the app tapping on an item opens it the EPI stores, addresses and payment options securely. In this example, Larry can select his shipping address with one tap edit. The address or add another need to change. The shipping option no problem: it’s just kappa way note that changing this option may change the total price. The payment request api can handle this with a little help from your app notice, the multiple payment options, the api also handles country, specific payment methods and, finally, the user taps on pay.
At this point, the browser runs the selected payment service. This might be an app on your device or going across the network to a payment provider. The completed payment returns a special token that you can send to your server. The server has ways of verifying this token. Is this safe? The api is more secure than form based payments. The new payment instruments are based on modern cryptography. You don’t need to enter payment data that can be logged or observed at the point of entry, so to review payment requests, eliminates manual and tedious entry by storing the user’s information securely in the browser.
It works across browsers across OS platforms and can work with any payment service that wants to write just a little code now that you’ve seen how payment request works for the user, let me show you how to code it remember that the payment UI contains multiple sections. We need to populate these sections before making the request. The request needs at least three data structures, the payment options, the order, details and shipping options so we’ll create those then generate a payment request.
We will call show and get back a promise that resolves when it’s time to contact the payment processor, finally notice that we may want to or three event handlers. These are called while the UI is visible and can trigger updates when the user changes addresses or shipping options. Let’s walk through the steps in the UI and the corresponding code. First, the user taps by now. So we want to set up a payment request.
Remember that we need some data structures before we can create the request. The payment methods lists all the payment services that your site understands. It’s an array of payment method, objects and each method may have its own specific properties here. We’re listing the basic credit card method and Google pay note that I’m leaving out the details of the Google pay object as it’s pretty involved.
We want the user to know what they’re buying. This includes the core details of the transaction, how much money? What currency? And what list items you want displayed? Keep the line items fairly high level. It isn’t meant to be used as an itemized receipt. If you want more than one shipping option, you can define this structure notice, it’s a property on the transaction details. If you have multiple options include a selected bit, the browser will highlight the selected option and fire an event when it changes.
Now you can define what information you want from the API by default. Payment requests will only return the payment info if the user is logged. In you may have the rest of their information. If you need more these options, let you collect what you need. Take the data structures, you’ve just created and pass them to the payment request constructor. This should happen in response to a button tap or other user initiated action.
Now so far the screen hasn’t changed. We need to trigger the UI, take the payment request and call the show method. This returns a promise and opens the user interface notice. There’s a big block of code. After this, we still have a couple of steps until we’re done. The UI shows the details of the purchase and collects payment information when the user approves the promise resolves with a payment response object.
The payment response object contains everything needed to submit a payment for credit card payments. The response is standardized for non credit card payments such as Google pay. The response will be documented by the provider. Next, you should check that the payment is valid. Send the information to your payment processor for processing the UI will show a spinner while the request takes place. Okay.
So how do we remove the payment UI after we click payment? Even if it fails call payment response, not complete. You can include a message to the user. This tells the browser that the payment is complete and allows the app to notify the user of the result. Now, there’s one loose end to tie up what happens if the user changes their shipping address or options. This may change a total cost and, in some cases, may change a shipping options.
Payment requests can omit shipping, address, change, shipping, option, change and payment method change events. You should have event listeners for these and update details accordingly. Remember we’re making the update in the middle of a promise, just as we do installing the Service Worker, so we use a similar bit of code. We get the event and call update with on it. This takes a promise that resolves to a new transaction details record.
It’s not all that different from calling cache at all from the service workers install event that also returns its result via the event. The get new info method is something that you would write. It takes some data from the request and builds a new transaction details. Object. Here’s a reminder of what goes in the transaction details. Your code probably needs to copy from the old object to a new one.
We resolve the promise with the new details, update with then updates the payment request and the screen, and that’s it. You now have a seamless, easy to use checkout experience now that was a bit of a long example, but most of it is boilerplate check out the payment request. Samples at Google, Chrome, github, io, remember the process for easier payments starts with autofill. If you want more payment request, is there to help? You can also check out specific libraries for Apple pay, Google pay, Samsung pay and others they put up a pay with button on the screen.
They usually fall back to the payment request interface, but they may be an easier option for your users. The only way to know is to try them for yourself thanks for hanging in there through web payments. This is one of the most complex parts of building a PWA, yet it’s really satisfying and could be great for business. Take care and I’ll see you again soon.
Your boy lay back look welcome back to my blog make sure you hit that subscribe button. Oh I said I went going flog but um. I got ta close out this year with this type of vlog man.

Plan or system on your website, you could be losing out.
On a lot of money, Now people could just come to your site, sign up for your service and pay You if they think it’s a good fit, So that’s why it’s really Important to have this on the site, If you’re an eCommerce business You most likely have a shop, But if you don’t have a shop, you definitely need to get that set up. So you can start selling your eCommerce business And I think, most importantly, you need to have the ability To offer subscription payments So if somebody wants to come, Pay you one time, that’s great And most software out there allows this, But it’s really hard to find a software.
That allows you to accept subscription payments. So that’s what I’r going to show you today how to set that up and How to get that going? So how can you accept credit Card payments on your site, So you always need some sort of software. To put in the site, so somebody can go in there and fill out Their credit card info Now there’s different things: Like Shopify WordPress Ecwid, where it already has that shop built in right, where they have the Credit card system in there, but you also need something to be Able to accept the credit card So there’s a couple of options: For that that are our favorite, We use Stripe and then there’s Also Square Now, with a Stripe, you can offer the credit card form to go.
On your site and allow them to fill out the credit card info Stripe also Allows for subscription payments, Unlike Square square, only lasts For those one time payments which a lot of people are used to Because they see it in restaurants and different stores like that Now, if you want to accept Paypal payments on your site: you can simply put a PayPal widget there. If you have a PayPal business account, you can get a code from Them put it in your site, and people can make a purchase with their Credit card or their PayPal account, But that’s the issue They Can’t pay with the credit card And the main issue that I think that is negative about PayPal is when They choose to accept or pay with PayPal on your website.
It’s going to navigate Them and take them away from your site, bring them to the PayPal page. And it just looks confusing: It doesn’t look clean, It’s not pretty. It just looks like a confusing PayPal. Link And most likely they’ll exit out And then when they exit out they’re Still not going to be on your site, They’re going to be on the PayPal Site So, with the credit card payments you want to be able to Integrate with those softwares So sign up for a Stripe account They’re completely three With that Stripe account Now it’ll integrate, So you can’t technically can’t Put Stripe in your website, So it’s a process right into your website.
You need a platform to accept the payment. Then you need Stripe and then you need To connect it to your bank account So what’s the software should I use We use a software called SamCart, they call it the pretty checkout process. So if you’ve ever been at any of Our checkout pages on our site, you maybe have noticed that it’s a nice Form that integrates in our websites, You never have to leave our site, you go to pricing and then you go to the Plan you want and then it gives you all the information on the right and The payment form on the left – All you have to do – is fill out your name Email and your credit card details or just click a button if You’d rather pay with PayPal, So that makes it really easy.

So now How do you integrate it with your site, So you sign up for an Account with SamCart, which is what we highly recommend, because It offers the one-time payment and the subscription payment It’s really hard to find a good Software out there that supports that, Then they transfer it right.

So if you Decide to go with SamCart, you can offer any type.

Introductions are part of everyday business, so it & # 39 s, essential that you & # 39 re, comfortable and confident when introducing others and also when being introduced to others. So one of the questions I & # 39 m asked a lot is whose names you say first in an introduction. Well in a business & nbsp, introductions are made based on rank and precedence.
Gender is not taken into consideration and women are treated equally based on rank, not chivalry. So in making an introduction, the person who holds the highest rank within an organization would be considered the most important person or the person who would take precedence over the others. So in most organizations that would be the president or the CEO, the lower ranking person is always introduced to the higher ranking person.
So when making an introduction, the junior person would always be introduced to the senior person. So the easiest way to do this is to face the most important person and to say their name before introducing the other person to them. When making an introduction, it & # 39 s, always a good idea to give a little bit more information about the other person than just their name. That way, it can act as a conversation starter, and it can also make both parties feel more comfortable okay.
So let & # 39 s review the formula based on order of precedence. The senior executive always receives the junior executive. The name of the senior executive is spoken first, the name of the junior executive is spoken last, for example, if I was to say mister senior executive. I would like to introduce mr. Junior executive from the LA branch, and then I would say mr. Senior executive is our director of national brands.
When it comes to introducing government officials, it & # 39 s really important to do your research ahead of time. On the correct customs of address, there are lots of really great ways to do this. One way would be to check the internet, and another way would be to check some of the great resource books that are out there on the topic. When introducing a client to someone from an organization that provides them service, the clients name comes first, for example, John Jones, I & # 39 d like to introduce Jim Smith our department manager.
Jim John is our customer from Seattle, and he & # 39 s due really well with our product line. They & # 39 re. A government official always receives a non-official, for example, if I was to say mr. Mayor, I & # 39 d like to introduce Miss Smith, one of the provinces leading exporters here & # 39 s, a article that demonstrates the formula for introductions. So I was the introduction I mean I budgeted Miss Jones and a fake, Miss Jones.
I would like to introduce our new employee, mr. Smith. Mr. Smith is just started at this location here and Cooper recently and Miss Jones for this, and then you can add something like my understanding of both the width of us because being and that over to give them an ice scraper, so they need each other later. It & # 39 s always talked about, so you always want to try to add a little bit of extra information if you can so in a situation where you might have to introduce to your colleague to a client now who & # 39 s important movie, Nobody speaking for the CEO, the client we never oh, we always have and person and then introduce the other people to that person and then add a little bit more information.
Okay, so interactions. The keywords are allowed to introduce, or without introducing to you you to meet as soon as you say I & # 39 ve met you to meet. It basically turns the table and gives the other person 11 hours. Okay. Thank you very much. < /p >
Maybe you haven’t hit that first hundred or first thousand or even first ten thousand and in my opinion SoundCloud is still going to be super valuable. So this article is all about how you can gain traction and gain followers on SoundCloud in 2019. Let’s go so it’s 2019 and streaming is becoming more and more popular for music.
There’s SoundCloud, there’s Spotify, there’s Apple music. There’s all these different platforms. However, in my opinion, SoundCloud is still one of the most vital ones, because in a lot of ways it’s still the only kind of social network of music. You have Spotify, you have all these other ones, but SoundCloud is the only one where you can really comment. Communicate interact with your fans, interact with artists, you want to message and be in contact with, and I still think SoundCloud is still very valid.
It’s still very good, and you know who knows two months from now six months from now they could figure their stuff. Oh and they could still become one of the most popular platforms for music, especially underground music. So let’s just get into these ten tips now the first one doesn’t have to do with SoundCloud itself has to do with you and its quality. The quality of your music is going to be absolutely vital for standing out on SoundCloud SoundCloud.
You have to just dig through a constant pile of crap and, in my opinion, the only music that is going to continuously hook. People in is high quality music. Now, I’m not saying you have to be Skrillex or phlume or Diplo, or you know any of these levels of musicians. But what I recommend doing is listen to listening to your favorite artists, artists. You aspire to sound like or you think you sound like and really objectively try and look at it and see if you are 80 % as good as they are.
I would say to succeed on Soundcloud and to stand out. You really have to be at least 80 % as good as the people you aspire to sound like, and if you don’t honestly, I think you’ll just get forgotten and your music will quickly fall into the pile and you’re not going to stand out. And it’s just going to be a lot of effort when I think spending that time on social media could be better spent on trying to grow your skills versus that so step one before you really even think about getting yourself on soundcloud.
I would make sure your music is about 80 % as good as those of you aspire to sound like quality. So you can put your best foot forward now. Tip number two goes into the whole quality versus quantity debate and it comes down to quantity or more so consistency. I think consistency is very important. A song has a specific lifespan and it’s actually starting to get shorter and shorter. But what I mean by that and what I mean by the lifespan of a track is say: you put out a new track well over the course of say a month and even a short is now three weeks even two weeks, even one week in the day And age of music, we live in it kind of has a lifespan where you gain all this traction, maybe get YouTube.
Support blog support, support from your friends. You gain this new attention for it, you gain these followers. You gain these fans, you gain these listens and it reaches a peak and then it quickly steeply starts to cut off and the track quickly becomes forgotten for the most part in this day and age of music. Unless, of course, it’s a masterpiece and it’s a it’s a very standout song, but for the most part musics just going to go up, have a lifespan and it’s going to go down now.
If you’re, putting one song out every two months, you’re not going to stand out and you’re going to quickly be forgotten, just think about you as a listener. How many new artists are always on your radar, new music and how many of them to you really stand out and are ones you keep going back to and very likely it’s only the ones where they’re constantly in your face constantly providing you with a new song And for personally, I’m just speaking personally here, it takes about 4 to 5 songs from artists for that to kind of click in my head and be like.
Oh, I like this artist. This is an artist. I want to follow and pay attention to say. For example, I don’t know an artist I I recently fell in love with would be like bad computer, whose releases a lot on monstercat. I heard one song of his. I really liked it and I gave him a follow in the hopes that maybe he’ll put out more stuff that I’ll really like. And luckily I followed him around the time where he started to consistently release on monstercat, probably once a month, and those songs were just constantly on my radar, like good new song, good new song, good new song and that solidified him to me.
As one of my favorites, while there could be another artist where they put out a single and it’s like one of the best singles I’ve ever heard, but if they don’t put something out, I’m going to quickly forget about them and not consider them. One of my favorites one of those go-to artists, one of those artists that, if they played in my town, I’d, want to go see or one of those artists that I’d follow on Soundcloud form or I would eventually go through my soundcloud followers and be like.
Oh, I got the single from this person, I’m not going to follow them anymore unfollow, so you need a really good balance of quality and consistency, and it might take a while to get to that point where your skills are at the point where you can write At least one quality song and release it per month, but I recommend the quicker you can do that. The quicker that, consistent that that lifespan can build on itself, because once your track hits the peak of its plays and follows, then you drop that next track and every all those new people who just start paying attention to you are going to listen to that new Song and it’s going to keep going up, you’re going to keep going up instead of kind of getting a bunch of new followers and some of them disappearing or not interacting with your work anymore.
So number two was consistency. Now number three is a little less useful in 2019, but I still wouldn’t rule it out and that is download gates. Now, if you don’t know how to download gate, a download gate is a website in a a technique that you can use to set up a download for your song, where, when someone downloads your song, instead of asking for money, you ask for some sort of social Currency and that could be a SoundCloud follow.
That could be a Facebook light, and in this case, because we’re doing SoundCloud follows in SoundCloud growth, you do it for a SoundCloud follow, maybe even a repost, maybe even a comment, because a bunch of comments on your track will make it look really good and give Social proof to the fact that your track is worth listening to and people like it, so those are going to be websites like the artist Union tone.
Den hive fan gate, there’s there’s so many right now, they’re so easy to set up, and it’s it’s really as easy as you set up a download gate for a track go to any of those websites, easy breezy. And then, when someone wants to download your track, they’ll have to like it repost it follow you, and hopefully that repost and that follow will either lead them to listening to more of your music in the future or that repost getting the attention of others and the Reason I say it’s still valuable is even though the average listener is probably just streaming your track, putting it in a playlist putting it in their favorites DJs and people who still like to collect songs on their computer, primarily DJ’s are still going to want to download Your music, I know myself whenever I have a show coming up.
I probably download like a hundred new songs, and I have to go through those download gates pretty much for every single one I buy very little music or maybe a third to a quarter while most of the music I’m still going through a download gate to acquire. So this is going to be super beneficial because you’re going to get reposts you’re going to get likes, you can get favorites, maybe even comments, and it can take a track that has no traction and if it’s good enough people will download it and it will get Traction so I recommend still using to download gates in 2019.
Now the next technique is using download gates for stuff other than music and providing values, and what I mean by that is: yes: you’ll have DJ’s that use download gates, but that’s still very few. However, one way down low gates are still really valuable is to provide some sort of value for your audience or prospective audience, be it through a sound through a sample pack. Maybe you write a blog that can only be accessed through a download gate.
So what you can do is you can create a really desirable item, property of some sort, sample, packs presets inside look article. I could you can get really creative with it and you can actually put it behind a download gate where someone has to use a download gate to access it, and this is actually how I got a lot of my following and how cymatics the company I used To work for gained a ton of their following is where, if you want to download a sample pack, if you want to download preset something like that, you have to use a download gate or stems.
If someone wants to remix your song or something like that, they have to use this download gate and for me that gets way more downloads than a song to a download gate. So tip number four is provide value for your audience and put that behind it download Gate where they have to then follow you repost it or something like that now tip number five for growing. Your soundcloud is going to be repost trading or joining repost circles.
Now there’s two sort of different things here. The first is repost trading, where you can go to websites which I think like repost Network or things like that, where you can essentially put your song up on there and you can kind of get asked for a bid. Essentially that where someone can offer to repost it for you reposting one of their songs and the reason I say bid, because a lot of times has to do with how many followers you have so like.
I have a SoundCloud with 15k, so I can ask an account with 15k to do a trade, for example, and then I just you know, select their song hit, yes, make an offer. If we agree, I don’t even have to do any of the work it’ll actually manually, do it for you for 24 hours, so if you’re, really new to SoundCloud using these websites to just create all these repost trades and get songs to repost is really useful because Reposting on Soundcloud is, in my opinion, one of the best things and worse things about it and my opinion kind of ruins SoundCloud because it kind of ruined your feed and it ruined the cleanliness of just following people.
You like, however, I’m not going to avoid the elephant in the room I’m going to take advantage of it, so I’m going to use websites like that to set up these repost networks. Now, on top of that, you can also set up repost networks with your friends. If you have friends who are all producers create, like a a group, chat a discord, something like that, where every time one of you releases a song, all of you are going to repost it periodically, and that way you can join forces with your friends, and everyone Gets each other’s support every time you put out a song cuz, it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere and it can be just a great way to start snowballing and get the attention you want that you yourself may not have with a brand new or very small Soundcloud, the next tip is going to be using your other social media.
Now this may seem very obvious, but using your Twitter, your Facebook, your Instagram, your snapchat, to push a song when it when it’s out is very beneficial. Now my main order word of advice here, though, is to grow those social media or social media separately, and not just making those a self promotional platform. You want to give people a reason to follow your Facebook, a reason to follow your Instagram, a reason to follow your Twitter, so you want to be providing value content on those platforms that isn’t just always here’s my soundcloud link, here’s my soundcloud link because nothing is Going to get you unfollowed or liked quicker, however, that being said, those social medias are going to be a great way to just get that initial traction, especially your personal Facebook account, because your other social media is probably going to be as small as your soundcloud or Within the same range, but your personal Facebook has your friends and they already interact with you and communicate with you not to mention you can private message: people you can private message.
Your best friends give them a song, ask them for support and, if you’re fairly new, to growing a sound fairly new to growing social media over all your friends are very likely to support you now. Someone like me, who’s been at it for five years. If I sent people links they’re so tired of seeing it, so it’s probably not very effective, but this tutorial isn’t for people who have been on South Club for five years.
This is people who are just growing and some people who are pretty much starting 2018-2019 so use your other social media to grow your soundcloud. The next tip is going to be YouTube promotional blogs to grow your soundcloud, so on YouTube. There are tons of blogs that exclusively upload other people’s music and what you can do, every time you put out a song is you can connect with these blogs? They usually have submission emails in their About section, collect dozens of them in a spreadsheet email them all.
Personally, one by one, and even if just one picks it up, and they include your download gate in the description say, your song got a thousand to ten thousand plays on one of these blogs, which is very realistic. You know some of these blogs can do very well and, let’s even just be conservative, let’s say you got a thousand plays, even if one percent of that thousand decided to actually download the song.
So one in a hundred plays that’s still ten more followers than you had the day before, and ten followers is a big deal. You shouldn’t take that for granted. So using YouTube’s promotional networks to actually get your music heard is very beneficial and I recommend using a promo strategy and having a promo plan every time you release a song or maybe you’re, hitting them up two weeks before you’re telling them hey my songs.
Coming out. This date, would you be interested you’re, starting to communicate with these people and find out who they are on a personal level. Building connections with them YouTube is still a very valid way of promoting music in 2019, and I still highly recommend it, especially with YouTube music becoming a thing where now people will actually be listening to and streaming music through YouTube music specifically and then, if they ever Choose to download it or see your name and like it it’ll probably convert.
However many even however little will convert to followers on Soundcloud. The next step is going to be joining the community. So one of the things I was preaching in the beginning that I like about SoundCloud, is it still very much a social network you’re still very much communicating reposting, commenting private messaging, all these things and if you join the community and you start to find artists and Participate in their work, they’re so much more likely to check yours.
Oh now, I’m not recommending to go to you know a huge producer and spam their song with comments to check out your work, but I recommend finding musicians around your level and giving them really constructive. Creative or kind feedback that you truly mean listen to their music, tell them what you liked about it tell them what you think maybe check out a couple of their songs. Don’t ever ask them to check out yours, but just be a part of the community and participate in their work and you’re more likely to build a community and have people to start to connect with yours, one of my best friends in the world, Sam winter him And I actually met on soundcloud and he’s actually from Ottawa, and this was back when you’re both started, and I was doing just that.
Every day I was like grinding, I was just like finding music and I was participating. I was communicating, he was one of them. We started private messaging years later. He moved to live with me in Vancouver and we started a business. I eventually worked for cymatics and lived together for like a year and a half, so you never know you know. Being part of the community is a great way to just start to build your inner circle and just really grassroots connect and build a community from the ground up and lastly, I recommend branding and when I say branding I mean really perfecting how your soundcloud looks.
You want really clean links, a really clean bio, taking advantage of the image and the header on top of it, having a really good name. That’s really easy for people to search and remember memorable song names that are probably related and ideally even a consistent, sound or style. Now, if you’re still really new musician, you may still be finding that so don’t hurt yourself and beat yourself up too much about finding that.
However, I just really recommend the sooner you build a brand. You build a consistent, sound, a style and aesthetic something that really sticks in people’s minds when they see it.
