I do notice my followers seems to fluctuate by about one on a daily basis, up, down, up...I like it because most of the people who remain will hopefully just be following me for my music so it gives me a realistic idea of how many 'fans' I have. Probably have to divide it by at least 4 to see how many would buy your stuff and see you live though...maybe that's just me

Nah man, it's all to do with how many comments you get.

damn, that is why i can't get a girlfriend. neeeeed more comments diiiiiiiick toooo smallllll

Maybe don't be so touchy?

soundcloud is full of mugs- following so other people follow you back? what is the point of that? just for self gratification when you look at the dashboard on a morning?

If your musics shit, its going to be shit not matter how many followers you have

blatantly jealous cos ive got like 12 followers

mate if you get upset by that i really dont think the music industry is for you!

this, take it on the chin and move on.
* Soundcloud has essentially become: wanking in front of a mirror that someone else is holding, whilst you hold a mirror for someone to wank in front of.

Lol, I used to get pissed off like OP when those fools making techno would follow me and then unfollow me 2 hours later...that shit happens everyday though. People unfollow people all the time.
I guess its understandable if you want people to know about your music from doing the mass-follow thing but for me I feel I'd be looked at better without doing that. It should be a gradual process as you improve as a producer you obtain more and more followerz .

Oh danny dubstep, once a comments whore always a comments whore XD

Its not like they would listen to your music anyway. I think I follow twenty odd people, am followed by about 60. Its probably a lot better that way, at least if i put up some half-baked bullshit its not privately shared with 4304 people that will never buy my tunes on principal. I honestly think you have one opportunity, perhaps two if you are Really Lucky to make a good impression, with all the music out there thats all youve got, why waste it on some 'plz comment back' wasteland echochamber shit? I changed my name because I wasnt happy with the (tiny tiny) releases I had out, do you want to do that down the line and have to start over?

It's not just about how many 'followers' you have though, it's about how many 'followers' you have whilst your 'following' list remains on 0
because when you're so good at music, you don't have time to listen to anybody else's, that would make you a fan, fans are wannabes.

Comments for comments anyone?

I don't think I've ever noticed the exact number my followers go up or down at any given point in time.

Nor do I care.

tasha baxter did that to me, i was pissed.

Hey guys check out my new song!

Yea I'm getting that once a week.

Honestly tho, I really don't look at my plays/followers/downloads/favorited/so on...
It is however a pat on the back when I go to soundcloud and see I've got comments/followers/downloads/etc...

Honestly, it isn't my goal. I'm making music because I like it, if people don't dig it, well bummer but I man up and still keep on doing what I like.

Sometimes though Ill check my own and ill have comments back from those people and I feel like emailing them to say that I wasnt fishing for comments I just really like that track. Hard to know peoples motives with places like that.

I never do anything because I feel like 'oh they commented me i gotta comment them back' and I can usually spot the people who are doing that stuff...

But sometimes if I see someone frequently popping up and listening to my tunes and supporting what I do I check em out... least that can be done, and you develop an a n b with your listeners you wouldnt have had pre-social networking days...

ive found some of the most solid music i can think of that way.

Stop focusing on something like followers on Soundcloud, instead try to get good followers who actually give you feedback. Put more energy into your productions rather than promoting (in the initial stage) and the followers will come magically, believe it or not.
