A sponsored ad on Facebook, Instagram, or another high-profile promotional platform can be a rewarding investment for those with a little money to spend. Ads typically only cost a few dollars a day, and have the potential to draw hundreds of eyes to your SoundCloud profile. This may be just the boost you need if you've seen a slowdown in your number of new followers. Most social media platforms offer adjustable pricing plans that allow users to decide how much they want to spend on an ad, as well as where and how their content will be displayed. One of the biggest advantages of web-based advertising is that it ensures that your ads are being seen the kind of people who are likely to be interested in them. Ordinarily, any registered SoundCloud user can access the music on your profile for free. By creating a follow-to-download gateway, curious listeners will have to follow your page in order to receive an exclusive download link. It's essentially a guarantee that everyone downloading is a subscriber. Sites like TuneBoost or SoundCloudfollowers.org make it easy to add a follow-to-download gateway to your profile. Employing a follow-to-download gateway can be a useful trick for racking up followers if you're already somewhat established, but if your visitors have never heard of you, they may decide that it's not worth the extra effort. If you're desperate to kickstart your music career and need a little momentum to get you going, consider trading cash for praise. There are whole companies that specialize in providing likes, follows, and other social signals to aspiring musicians as a way to help them build a buzz. A purchase of as little as $2 can get you up to 1,000 plays, as well as additional perks such as likes and reposts. Hiring one of these services may not be the most honest approach, but it can be effective if you haven't had much luck with other options. Keep in mind that a suspiciously high number of followers or plays with few likes or comments may look fishy to more discerning listeners.

It's best to do this before opening the remote. Some of the buttons may come flying out when you open it. Use your phone or draw a diagram if you don't have a user manual with one in it. Also, note and document the position of any screws on the remote. The solution used to fix on the remote takes some time to dry. Forgetting the button positioning is very easy when you're forced to wait before putting it back together. Fortunately, you will have a handy picture to make it easier! Putting back the screws can also be confusing, so make sure you have pictures of all of them and know where they belong. Undo the cover on the back of your controller to pull out the batteries. Removing the batteries will deactivate the controller. It's always a good idea to deactivate the controller this way before applying any sort of fluid to the electrical components inside of it. Depending on the remote, you may need to remove the batteries to open the casing anyway. All remotes are different, so taking them apart isn't always a straightforward process. Most of them have a couple of screws in the back. Use a mini Phillips screwdriver to turn the screws counterclockwise until you're able to remove them. If you don't see any screws on the back, check the battery compartment and also look underneath any stickers or sliding covers. Some remotes may not have any visible screws. These types of removes usually just need to be pried open with a dull blade. Be cautious when removing the screws. If the screwdriver slips, it could scratch up your remote. Look for a crack running along the side or edge of the remote. Most remotes consist of 2 plastic halves. By separating the halves, you can access the internal electronics. Wedge the knife into the crack, pry up the cover, and use your hands to pop it off. Handle the remote carefully to avoid scratching it. Never attempt to open it with anything sharp.

If you're renting your modem from an ISP (e.g., Xfinity or CenturyLink), you can try calling your ISP and asking them to reboot your modem. Not all ISPs will do this for you, but it's the only way to reboot an ISP-owned router when you're away from the network. This usually won't work if you aren't renting your modem from an ISP. If you don't know who your ISP is and you're away from the modem, you can probably find out by looking at your online cable bill or charges on your credit or debit card statement. You can do this by going to https://www.google.com/ in a web browser, searching for your ISP's name and the phrase "customer service phone number", and reviewing phone number(s) in the search results. For example, to see Comcast's phone number, you would type comcast customer service phone number into Google and press Enter to see the phone number at the top of the search results. Dial the customer service number to do so. This will usually result in an automated greeting. You'll have to indicate that you want to speak with a representative before proceeding; this process will vary depending on the ISP, so follow the spoken instructions until you reach a real person. When asked, tell the representative your phone number, your account number, and/or your address. Not all ISP representatives will require all of this information. Similarly, some ISPs will need more information (e.g., your date of birth) to confirm your account. If they can reboot the modem, they should do so, though they may ask you to confirm some account information before they officially reboot your modem.
