Independent Musicians Flock to Bandcamp

Indie Music Marketing: Musicians Flock to Bandcamp

Tweet to @dalatindiva

Bandcamp.com offers indie musicians an affordable and customizable alternative to traditional third party retailers like iTunes and CD Baby.com. With a price tag that hovers around zero for uploaded albums, music merch links, and more, Bandcamp.com gives musicians more control over their music. Why do indie musicians love Bandcamp.com? Bandcamp is free!

When you are scrounging around for a few bucks to replace your busted guitar pick or are splitting last night's gig payout between five guys, free sounds great. And Bandcamp.com is free. For the price of a breath of air you can upload albums, singles, bonus files, and merchandise links. Upload bonus tracks, sheet music, and images with your album. Your fans will enjoy listening to your music and checking out the extra surprise bonuses. As a composer and indie musician myself I have used Bandcamp to upload practice tracks and scores for performers, promote my virtual opera Libertaria through free giveaways, and offer easy downloads for many of my multimedia pieces. You control the pricing One of the biggest benefits to Bandcamp.com is the ability to set your own pricing. In fact, you can even set your pricing to zero for a limited number of downloads. Why set your albums for free? Free albums are a great way to connect to your fans and gain new listeners. For example, a monthly music giveaway through Bandcamp may earn you new fans. Bandcamp allows indie musicians up to 200 free giveaways at the basic free rate. You can pay for additional services and downloads.

When was working on my opera Libertaria: The Virtual Opera, I was able to use Bandcamp's platform to post up practice tracks, scores, and more for my cast members. With a click of a button, the Libertaria cast could quickly download their music for free. The site has worked well for several promotional marketing campaigns for the opera film, including the online premier by Moviestorm this past December.

This review of Bandcamp was unsolicited and unpaid based on private use of Bandcamp services for my film Libertaria. I just enjoy the platform and thought it would be great to share! :) - Sabrina Pena Young
