The only major downside to Bandcamp is them taking a cut of the profits off any album sold. Users know that if they pay for something on the platform, they’ll get it. Bandcamp is a trusted platform that processes millions of dollars in payments on a monthly basis. Plus, of course, there’s the element of trust. You can make your pages look pretty dang slick with minimal effort. You earn more by selling, an additional thousand codes for every $500 in sales, or you can purchase more directly for a few cents each. Artist accounts come with the ability to generate 200 codes for free albums to send out and give away. Everything is indexed, so band names, lyrics, and song titles can all show up on Google’s results page. Bandcamp submits sales reports to several global music charts, meaning you can place on them if you’re popular enough. You can even sell tickets to your shows directly through Bandcamp. You can bundle music sales with physical items, ranging from CDs or vinyl to apparel to whatever else you want to sell. Bandcamp offers fairly rich analytics about links to albums, music embeds, track popularity, purchasing, search terms, and more. Bandcamp accepts 18 different currencies from around the world. You can even require nothing more than an email address. You can charge a minimum price and let users pay more if they choose. You can charge any price and change prices whenever. The website and mobile apps allow unlimited streaming of purchased music in high quality formats. So here’s what Bandcamp offers musicians: Since we’re talking about selling music, I’m going to look at things from the perspective of an artist looking to sell. Bandcamp also works directly with some music labels, and it can be a great discovery platform. I’ve seen some albums available on Bandcamp with unlimited streaming, and others that only allow each track to be played 2-3 times before it’s locked behind a purchase. Artists can sell directly, with complete control over pricing and how accessible the music is to stream. Music fans can create accounts and follow individual artists, maintain wishlists, and explore similar music to what they already like. Sign-up is a quick and painless process, as is uploading music.
Using Bandcamp is free and pretty easy for musicians and artists.
