It may seem pointless, but without a doubt, the best way to grow your SoundCloud account is to make exceptionally good music. Quality music speaks for itself in a world where just about anyone can access a DAW as long as they have Internet access. The music market is oversaturated, which means your music has to be more than just good, it has to be great to stand a chance of success.
Unfortunately, many musicians distort the process. Aspiring artists often create their own music, usually just a few songs, upload it to the platforms, and then expect the project to explode thanks to divine intervention. The image of "overnight" success certainly misleads musicians, as things are rarely that simple. Even debuting or "up-and-coming" label artists can be signed and developed for years despite having just appeared in public.
You need to create music that will automatically make the listener want more - not just the music, but you and your story. This means that you have to make a lot of music until you have a voice that is unique and polished enough to evoke genuine intrigue.
Music marketing is definitely an important part of the process, but it's a waste of time if your music isn't up to par. If you're just getting into music, take the trouble to get reviews from other artists and hone your skills.
Focus all your energy on making great music before worrying about getting listeners through marketing. It will be a waste of time, energy, and possibly money if you work on marketing before you have the most perfect version of your art.
