How to get noticed as a ghost producer?

The question we get often, is: how do I get noticed as a ghost producer? Or how to be noticed at all? Below we offer you the best tips that might help you to increase you online presence as a ghost producer.

 

Tip #1: Get noticed by your artwork 

In one of our blogs we mentioned the psychology of color concerning your artwork. One of our tips for producers has to do with this. We can’t stress enough the importance of having high quality graphics. “The first thing that buyers will notice is your visual appearance. So make sure that’s in perfect shape.” Read the whole article here.

 

Tip #2: Stay on top of trends 

Another tip for producers has to do with the fact that the times, they are changing. Overall and certainly in the dance industry. Techno in the early nineties was totally different than what we nowadays call techno. Progressive, deep house - these tags are dynamic. “So listen to as much music as you can and stay in touch with what’s happening in de dance scene.” Read the whole article here.

 

Tip #3: Make sure your biography is in perfect state

Every ghost producer needs a good biography, which is more than a resume. You need a text that shows that you’re a real and likeable person with a true passion for producing. Of course, you will mention what you have done in the past, but you also need to present your plans for the future. “This will include your discography, but rather as a separate section of your biography – like a resume with a job application.” Read the whole article here.

 

Tip #4: Build a network 

As an upcoming (ghost)producer, building a network is of great importance, because networking has lots of benefits. You are creating a community of people who support you, who provide emotional support and information that will help you. You will stay on top of new developments in your field: new tools, processes, leaders, products and services. Also, as an upcoming producer you need as much exposure as possible. “You need to be heard and seen!” Read the whole article here.

 

Tip #5: Read the manual

Learning to produce dance music for the most part exists of how to get what's in your head into your DAW and out of the speakers. Read the manual to every product, DAW, VST, etc. that you own! It's the absolute quickest way to figure out how to get what's in your head into the real world. “So read all the manuals. Twice!” Read the whole article here.

 

Tip #6: Start your own affordable and professional Obior website

 

One of our tips for producers has to do with your online presence. Having a professional website is of the upmost importance for upcoming DJ’s and producers. House of Tracks partnered up with Obior, that specializes in affordable websites for music professionals.

As a ghost producer you are responsible for what happens on your HoT-label! From that perspective we recommend that you think twice before you let other people use your label. If they violate our Terms & Conditions, it won’t be them but YOU who will be banned for life from House of Tracks. "Anytime you let someone else in on your label you should cautiously ask yourself the question: why does this person not start his or her own label?"
