SC101 kicks off with a 9-part ‘how-to’ short video series with live events slated to come later this year
August 13, 2019, New York, NY -- SoundCloud today introduced a new video and live event series, SC101, as the latest addition to its longstanding education program for music and audio creators. SC101 is designed to give creators an easy, frictionless entry point into SoundCloud’s creator education ecosystem, the SoundCloud Creator Guide, through more accessible video and live event formats.
Presented by SoundCloud employees, SC101 rolls out with a 9-part, two-minute video series available now on SoundCloud. Each video in the series breaks down a key topic fast, with step-by-step product walk-throughs and actionable tips, presented in a fun, accessible format. SC101 topics are curated directly from SoundCloud’s 20 million plus creator community and SoundCloud employees, reflecting subjects that are most asked about and important to creators.
The initial slate of videos cover core audience building topics such as profile development, tagging tracks, and sharing your work effectively. More advanced subjects, including monetization and distribution, will follow this fall in the series’ second installment.
As home to the world’s largest audio creator community, SoundCloud is dedicated to giving all audio creators the tools they need to succeed. SC101 is one more way that creators at all levels can leverage the tools available on SoundCloud with the added value of quickly building out the powerful, early connections between creators, collaborators, and listeners that translate into more plays and more fans.
Later this year, SC101 will expand offline with live events and demos in different cities and communities around the world. Location and dates will be announced soon.
