GetMusic.fm is a super useful way to get new people engaged in your music on Bandcamp!
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 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.
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 has increased our engagement immensely in a short time. Fans being able to return to an album in their collection quickly has also led to more sales in the long run. GetMusic is a must-have for any musician or label who wants to keep fans engaged while simultaneously finding new ones.
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.
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.
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.
