A few words from the artists who've put codes up here.
The views, sales, and followers increased, and honestly, I had a great experience.
I'm really glad that I did this now. I've got the most daily Bandcamp streams that I've ever had, plus 20 download code redemptions so far today, and a load of new followers.
@GetMusicfm is the reason why I discovered this community. Not only are they getting music out there and visible, they are bringing people together!
I am blown away by the folks who have clicked on my songs here! Not only do folks leave reviews and start a convo sometimes, they appear to actually be sending music they like to their friends. Well-done everyone, everywhere. In my mind, that is the way it works best. This is a very affordable and necessary service if you want to find folks to put up with you. haha.
I stumbled upon GetMusic on Reddit a few years ago. I had an excellent conversation with the owner and was captivated by the concept of connecting my music on Bandcamp to not only expand my fan base but also connect with other artists. Over the years, I’ve amassed a vast collection of singles and albums, and some of these albums are among my all-time favorites! GetMusic stands as a platform that champions indie artists and facilitates connections that we could never have envisioned.
We’ve used GetMusic on 3 releases now and every single time it has resulted in many more followers. They may not always translate into more sales - but you are in all those peoples collections and they are all on your messaging list for notifications about future releases etc. We regard it as an investment for the future - to build up your list of followers and raise awareness of what you do. Chuck (who interfaces with the artists) is a really nice guy and will always try to accommodate any requests you have for promotions and new merchandise releases etc. He has done loads for us and his intervention often results in increased plays on our Bandcamp page. The news of the offer of promoting free downloads at no cost is a godsend to struggling bands and is an excellent idea I our opinion - it means we can now afford to offer free downloads of “singles” to promote upcoming releases. Keep up the good work - GetMusic definitely gets The Crabs Commendation!
Getmusic.fm has helped several people discover Stress Dolls and my label, Angry Girl Music, and, as a result, I have more followers and more folks listening. Thanks for all you do to help indie artists!
I honestly cannot remember how I functioned as an indie artist without GetMusic. In fact, the site does so much of the work for me, I've actually let my other promotional activities slide! For a long time I was a "Free" or "Pay What You Want" artist, but had little traction. Even though listeners getting codes through GetMusic is still technically free, there's a psychological reward when cashing tokens for music you'd normally pay for. Just by offering codes through GetMusic, my listeners have grown by 70% or more. Along with providing links to song downloads, GetMusic is constantly popping up on the socials with graphics of new releases, either solo or grouped with other new tracks. I myself am often drawn to new music thanks to these arresting graphics. GetMusic's stats are also great for reposting and reminding listeners of your newest tracks or albums. Along with Bandcamp, GetMusic is an essential tool for the indie artist.
GetMusic.fm is a super useful way to get new people engaged in your music on Bandcamp!
