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!
GetMusic.fm is a super useful way to get new people engaged in your music on Bandcamp!
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.
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 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.
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 used GetMusic to build the Bandcamp fanbase a bit in advance of my next album release. I made 100 codes available and shared this across X and FB groups. All codes were gone in under a week, I sold more physical copies in a day than ever before and grew the fan base. Win!
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.
@GetMusicfm is the reason why I discovered this community. Not only are they getting music out there and visible, they are bringing people together!
