BandCamp is a do-it-yourself digital music distribution solution. In effect, it lets you
build, produce and distribute your music, complete with lyrics and artwork, at a fairly
reasonable price. It will also track statistics. Plus, you still own everything, and that’s a
huge plus.
- Band Metrics
All this stuff is for naught if you can’t learn how and what’s working. Band Metricslets you do that. No more guessing. Now you can know what’s doing the job, selling the
tunes and bringing in the fans.
Social Media Wrap Up
When all is said and done, social media is an indie artist’s best friend. Tools are free or
dirt cheap. The fans are there, waiting to hear from you. Sure, it’s a time investment, but
it sure beats paying through the nose for a p.r. firm or high priced publicist who’s proba-
bly more interested in their fee or commission than your success.
Take the time to think and develop a sound strategy of what you’re trying to accom-
plish. Don’t try to be all things to all people. Play to your strengths and play to your fans
wants and needs. Communicate with them regularly. Be human. Don’t be an ass. Provide
good quality content and the fans will beat a path to your venue doors. They might even
buy a t-shirt or CD, too.
