better in a fashion blog what would be best is to go on YouTube and find some vloggers that you like and see what sort of music they use quite often you'll find that if a youtuber uses a style of music they're suggested channels we use very similar music as well all you need to do is go on in the About section and click on that email and email them your track quite often these youtubers will also have social media pages and supports about fayliss that have very large followers so if you gain a good relationship with them they might start tweeting about you they might add you to their playlist and that is such easy promotion a lot of these youtubers will
have Instagram accounts where they have shortened versions of the videos these videos will also need music so you can
