Is Soundcloud click-farm good?

[DomeNico Rotolo]

I recently had a lot of spam about people making click-farm on my songs so I could get more audience... they gave me a free try and as you can see my song Dew now has 300 views...

The thing is that I thought that this guy right here would have shown my song to his friends so I could get some rating on it, not just creating some click-farm...

I know getting audience on soundcloud is hard, but because I don't know what to choose and I don't know if click-farm is good or bad I need your help to decide!

Also I'm new to music and I don't really know if people usually do it or it is a thing that mustn't be ever done...

I see those "Get <insert quantity> number of plays now!" accounts to be nothing but a big scam. Those views mean nothing. The way I've expanded my audience has been through the forums, the former Soundcloud Groups, attaching appropriate tags on the tracks, and lots of patience. It takes time to build fame... unless you're pewdiepie, don't expect to be an overnight success.

Thanks for the answer, I won't do farm-click anymore...

still...

do you know of any other places to upload my tracks other than soundcloud and the forum?

There's mixcloud.
But I'm still doing some research on it.

And you can try Vimeo too. It's almost like Youtube.

I run a small little artist hub on soundcloud to help repost smaller accounts tracks. Just search LMMS Artist Hub. I'm usually busy, but I should have time to get all the reposts up by about 12:00mst.

YouTube might be a good place to go as well, but the idea I'd suggest is look to get audience from other artists--try to find remix opportunities from places like Spinnin Records or just around the internet. It's a good way to help find opportunities to get some exposure.
