A few words from the artists who've put codes up here.
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.
It has always been hard to grow on Bandcamp as an artist. The platform is amazing but growth is extremely slow and discrete. As soon as I discovered GetMusic and connected my Bandcamp account with my Album "Otto Vite" (Eight Lives), I got people coming to listen, download my release, and follow my account. After a couple of weeks on GetMusic, my follower count doubled, and I had a nice increase in plays too. Most importantly, I myself was able to discover some hidden gems and support small artists out there. Likely a platform I will use again (and again) in order to spotlight my upcoming Releases.
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.
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.
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.
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 has been great for my followers and exposure. Had 12 Bandcamp followers for quite some time, and within a week am at 75 and counting! Great folks, great service, highly recommend for anyone who is looking for Bandcamp exposure! And yeah - the first round is free!
The views, sales, and followers increased, and honestly, I had a great experience.
