Why Indie Artists Should STILL Use Bandcamp

[@Deron8564]

I buy bandcamp music because: 1) More directly supports the artist 2) Allows for lossless digital format. I like lossless since it gives me the ability to have full CD quality music minus the hassle of storing a bunch of CDs. With larger hard drive space becoming cheap, file size is no longer a concern.

[@BT-oz5fg]

Agree Bandcamp gets better and better.

[@dpshtPH]

He just mentioned all the things why I love bandcamp so much.

[@hiphopheaven]

People do not promote their bandcamp and then wonder why nobody is listening to their music there.I like the editorial choice of music.I like how you can follow people and see what they are buying,I like how you can follow artists and see announcement of albums

[@Khordmaster]

This was extremely informative and personal. I enjoyed the lack of editing and cutting. It was authentic. I’m signing up fir band camp first thing in the morning. And I’m subscribing to your channel now!

[@mastermusicmarketing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@2worldrecords196]

I had no idea that Bandcamp did this much for artists.. thank you for the information!

[@2HUNGRY]

You had me at vinyls

[@ivandillardmusic2042]

I already love Bandcamp because as an artist it’s the only platform where you really make $... but I had no idea of these other features! Thanks so much for this video!

[@frictionless]

Bandcamp is great for new independent artists. People who are in search of new music can easily find underground artists. I could never earned the money I earned from bandcamp through streaming services.

[@IcyJules1]

What about samples

[@What-jj9ow]

Wow, Vinyl ! Cool feature! Great points!

[@andrelefebvre5453]

One BIG strike against Bandcamp is: - We can't offer previews of our songs, we have to allow a minimum of three (3) FULL streamings to people. Who will buy your song after they were able to listen to your song 3 times? And after they clear their cache, they are back listening for free. I'm not sure if I could create a preview track, upload it and make it part of a 2 tracks album, disabling streaming of the full track? That would be one way to do it... I'll check on that. Otherwise, no complaint! Plus, they had a commission free Friday 2 weeks ago and that is really generous of them.

[@hiphopheaven]

If I don't like your music in the first 15 seconds I'll simply skip it I don't need previews. I don't buy individual tracks or stream on bandcamp I'm an album guy

[@HaribeI]

[@bkayunta792]

Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏

[@boimesa8190]

And where can I get more info on the free vinyl pressing?

[@TheConlan666]

I exclusively use bandcamp for buying music and merchandise from artists.

[@aztre]

Conlan Barrett How do you buy music from there?

[@hiphopheaven]

well that's what bandcamp was made for.

[@herberthowardjones9982]

Thanks for creating this cool video!

[@brianroach7479]

Nice one Brother.

[@SteadyDrop]

Thanks for the video :) Any pro/cons between bandcamp and distrokid soley?

[@MrSHADOW25801]

Dope info brotha thank you

[@dopedancer3959]

Thx nice points

[@WilmoreChuck]

Is it okay to release music on Band Camp when you already release music with Distrokid? And also is it okay to release music you have already released to other platforms with Distrokid?

[@mastermusicmarketing]

absolutely. to both questions.

[@Ruby-xk8kn]

Nice video!

[@CedWicked]

I cant even upload any audio on bandcamp wtf even if my file is flac, and wav

[@cryptout]

Nice explanation 👍

[@mastermusicmarketing]

Thanks for the support!

[@rommeldesouza1800]

Can I upload covers on Bandcamp and how often can I upload with the free artist account?

[@marssigler]

you can upload as much as you want with a free account. There is a maximum file size but it's not really an issue unless you're uploading 15 minutes tracks. Uploading covers shouldn't be an issue if you're offering it as a bonus or free download.

[@jazzydog]

Good content bro!.

[@mastermusicmarketing]

Glad you liked it

[@Z3RO5286]

is bandcamp better than soundcloud? i'm more of an soundcloud and youtube, mp3 type guy? Any way i can get into bandcamp?

[@meandminespro7]

Good information.. is there any video recommendations regarding promoting.

[@mastermusicmarketing]

Check out this playlist. Tons of videos about marketing/promotion kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5S8i4RpfNSNrsU

[@boimesa8190]

But how to get a following if there isn't even a big bandcamp forum/subreddit/community... :S

[@hiphopheaven]

you don't have to promote your music on a forum specifically about bandcamp.Just promote your music on your social account and people you know personally

[@hippohippo9490]

excellent!

[@coldmanwess]

I heard BANDCAMP is more laid back about sampled based beats

[@nfmaster4851]

is this actually true?

[@mastermusicmarketing]

Technically. But it's not Bandcamp you should be worried about. It's the original copyright holders.

[@enstigatorofficial]

jesus fuk me, just make your own music or you are not a musician.

[@coldmanwess]

Enstigator Official FUCK OFF

[@SageTodzz]

Lool false. Try again.

[@tidalwave_music]

Should you sell your music on there, or just offer for free in exchange of email?

[@simonlegrec]

The most of them will stream record and don´t need to pay...thats shit on bandcamp

[@shiftctrlofficial1677]

dude you are too close to the camera.

[@PhreaSpirit]

Who the hell uses BC? Band dump is a garbage. The place is dead. I tried to sell there. There's literally 2 views in a 100 years. let alone any followers etc. Dont waste your time there if you're an artist at least, there are much better places

[@mastermusicmarketing]

daily.bandcamp.com/features/bandcamp-covid-19-fundraiser

[@hiphopheaven]

It's not garbage and there's successful rappers there.The problem is small artists are pushing their spotify every day and do not promote their bandcamp and than wonder why nobody is streaming or buying from bandcamp.Bandcamp is the best service to discover new music because they are human made not those garbage algorithm that claim knowing what songs you really want.

[@KabishopKabishop]

My brother it's not good to use such a hate speech here online..May God Save you

[@victorwthomas]

Exactly! The place is like a cemitery with no souls.
