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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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 helped me to spread my music online and get a lot of downloads for my album - 20 in less than 24 hours! I will be using GetMusic again for my next release!
