A few words from the artists who've put codes up here.
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'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.
So, I'm doin' my music shi, right? And I realize that streaming is full of bs, so, I decided to put much more effort into my Bandcamp marketing. But I wasn't getting seen, it was taking a while for people to notice me, even with all the effort I was putting in. So, I looked up Bandcamp marketing on Google, and that lil Ai search thing told me about getmusic.fm. Later on, I decided that it could be pretty effective, as it worked for other albums (which I redeemed, of course). I put HeSoBased on getmusic.fm and slowly but surely, people were showing up. Soon, my album was in multiple collections, and I was gaining a lot of followers on Bandcamp. It's been around a month, and my music is getting some attention. Heck, I even got a couple of sales afterwards. Anyways, I got a mixtape to put out, check me out on Bandcamp, and try using getmusic.fm! - DottyB
Chuck and GetMusic are a phenomenal force in exercising a community of passionate artists fuelling what needs to happen in today’s music industry.
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.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I use @GetMusicfm because it's the easiest way to share my songs with people who love music. It's also a great way to find music for my weekly indie music show on @audiomiragepdx radio!
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.
It definitely helped me get more listens and follows and I really appreciate the reposts on my Twitter as well. It brings awareness to my page and I love that.
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.
