It's easily the best way to promote your music and build a following. It’s also a great way to build a music collection. Honestly, it's my go-to site, beside Bandcamp, for the community of talent and those with great taste.
GetMusic has really helped me grow as an artist. Just in 2 weeks I gained over 50 followers. This also gave an opportunity for some artists who had already been following but couldn't support me to have something of mine in their Bandcamp collection.
GetMusic helps garner listens, sales and follows. It's been a huge help in a world where the social media platforms and algorithms tend to work against underground artists.
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.
After 24 hours of using GetMusic and some very modest promoting, 23 people have downloaded a copy of my album, "Who Goes There?" I was very enthused to see almost all the users were new. In addition to the downloads, I've also been receiving more streams than I usually do; very cool!
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!
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 gave our sound the push it needed. It’s a powerful tool for any underground artist looking to reach new fans and actually be heard. Simple, effective, and highly recommended.
