simple remix download flow:
1. upload the remix to hypeddit, youtube (and still SoundCloud if you want)
2. put the hypeddit download link at the top of the youtube description
3. pin the hypeddit download link as the top youtube comment
4. create a youtube deeplink so the video opens in the youtube app
5. put that youtube deeplink inside manychat
6. post a reel telling people to comment a keyword
7. manychat sends them the youtube video
8. youtube gets the view and engagement
9. hypeddit captures the email, spotify follow, and delivers the download
the point is simple:
don’t send people straight to soundcloud anymore.
send them to youtube first.
then let youtube build discoverability while hypeddit handles the download.

The SoundCloud Hyped It apocalypse and how I'm navigating it. So remixers and DJs, for those of you that don't know, Hyped It has lost its API feature access on SoundCloud. Meaning, it does not force somebody in the hyped to download gate to like, comment, or repost. So here's what I am now going to do anytime that I put a remix or a bootleg out. Number one, I still upload the remix on the hyped it as usual. Number two, I create a YouTube visualizer with my song on it. Number three, I create organic content on Instagram reels about the bootleg. Then I create a mini chat trigger that says comment blah blah blah, and I'll DM you this song. When they get that DM link, the DM link sends them to the YouTube visualizer. The YouTube visualizer then in the description and pinned to top of the comments has the hyped it link for people to be able to download it, AKA, just DJs. And the majority of the world are listeners, not DJs. So everybody else that wants to listen to the song and, obviously, can't put it up on Spotify, it's going to live on YouTube. And YouTube has millions and millions and millions and millions of much more people than SoundCloud. So it's important to be able to have a presence on that app, especially with your music. People who are worried about, oh, I wanna get taken down, YouTube has a much more sane and logical copyright system than SoundCloud does. It has this really powerful thing called content ID. It'll know exactly who the original rights holder is, and it'll detect what song you're actually remixing. That way, the original rights holder can actually run ads and make money off of your YouTube video in exchange for you being able to just host it on there. The other thing is that YouTube is the second biggest search engine on planet Earth. And over time, if enough people are seeing it and going to that link, it'll start getting recommended to other people that are searching the original song. You they don't do that on SoundCloud, and and plus there's much less users. So that's the flow that I'm doing. And if you actually wanna see the flow of how I'm doing it, I just put out a new remix pack. Comment w c below, and you could see exactly step by step what it looks like.
