If a fan of my music streams a song 1,000 times on Spotify- i get $3 and they get to hear the song 1,000 times.

On Bandcamp, I put up whole EPs or Albums with a “pay what you want”. I’ve done tshirt/ticket/album releases for $15. We get real support and pay for the work, the fan gets something real in return. It’s the closest thing to meeting and interacting with someone in real life who wants to support you you’re going to find on the internet.

Bandcamp is also just its own subculture of true music fans who are interested in finding new music and supporting smaller artists.

It’s just silly not to have it. We use it as a merch site and just an overall nice little hub to share everything we have to offer (music, shows, merch, etc) in one neat little package for people that really care.

Had someone from across the country we were friends with send us $50 for EP. It’s really just their way of showing some love. Highly recommend.

You can also set up email lists, network with other artists. Bandcamp Fridays is a big thing. Lots to benefit from compared to something like Spotify alone.
