Tips to enhance feature chances

 Diversify your track selection: While it's tempting to favor one artist or label, diversifying your track choices can increase your chart's appeal. Avoid over-representing yourself or any single artist. Highlight new tunes or lesser-known tracks from other artists in the scene.

Image is everything: Though we're told not to judge a book by its cover, visual appeal matters. Here are some image guidelines for your DJ chart:

• Opt for portrait-style or press-kit photos. A quality mobile photo, whether of you DJing or just enjoying the moment, works wonders.
• Steer clear of graphically altered images—no logos, filters, or text overlays.
• Maintain a clean look that contrasts well with release sections. Avoid using cover artwork as it might disrupt the platform's visual flow.
• Ensure images are in JPG format, RGB color mode, and square-shaped with a minimum resolution of 600 x 600 pixels.

Keep it fresh with different photos: Variety keeps things exciting. Rotate your photos and use a unique image for every DJ chart you create.

Craft a catchy title: Your chart's title can grab attention. There's no need to include your name, as it's automatically featured. Think outside the box and make it intriguing.

With these tips in hand, you're geared up to make your mark on Traxsource and potentially catch the eye of the platform and its vast user base. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, making the most of these features can propel your music journey forward.
