GetMusic.fm is a super useful way to get new people engaged in your music on Bandcamp!
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.
A couple of months ago, I was struggling hard to bring people to my bandcamp page and have them listen to our songs... GetMusic has been extremely helpful for us, we now have 300 followers and a healthy number of daily streams, sales are starting to grow too! This is extremely good value as it doesn't stop at providing at providing a code sharing platform, but includes communications made on every social network.
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 the best $10 we have ever spent to advertise. We have had a noticible uptick in streams and unique listeners on the major sites including more Shazams. And the icing on the cake; online radio stations are picking up our music to play on their shows without us having to submit and hoping it is something they will like. Promotion that actually works.
The views, sales, and followers increased, and honestly, I had a great experience.
It seems counterintuitive, but my sales have increased 12% since starting with GetMusic, which suggests that many music fans swap out their digital copies for physical formats.
Using free codes to promote my band got me about 100 followers and 100 listeners on BandCamp and i spent about $12.00. So its worth it!
GetMusic was a game-changer for my single "Hide & Seek." In a crowded scene, getting your signal out is a constant battle. The campaign cut through the noise and put the track directly in front of an audience that was actually wired to listen. I saw a real, measurable spike in both streams and, more importantly, new followers that have stuck around. It's a solid tool for anyone serious about getting their work to connect.
