We hope this blog post helps you get familiar with the Bandcamp platform and keep getting the word about your music out to new listeners.We've now been at this since 2010 and over the years we've really tried to deliver the kind of house music (and beyond) that we would play, listen and dance to ourselves.

You can filter followers by how much they have spent, and send special discounts to your most invested fans. There is a follower mailing list in your Bandcamp tools, which is easy to export to your emailing platform. The platform also supports a subscription service (similar to Patreon) where your fans can support you on a monthly basis: users can sign up to give a recurring monthly or annual fee that you choose and in return they receive exclusive content, like access to existing albums, live music recordings, limited edition merch, and more. You can also communicate directly with your followers through email newsletters, and you can learn more about the geographic breakdown of your followers through the Artist App. Your followers get an email when you release new music or merchandise, and your music shows up on their feed. Unlike other social media platforms, on Bandcamp you don’t have to pay to get your content in front of your fans. Having followers on Bandcamp is super valuable.
When you choose artists who you are similar to, those artists get notified and can select you as a related artist as well, making it easier for fans to discover you on related artist’s pages. To get listed in one of these you can send an email to the editorial staff (see Artist Guide for more info).Ĭustomize the recommended albums in the footer of album pages.
Bandcamp also has an Album of the Day that they promote along with a list of New and Notable albums. The Bandcamp feed tells users when new releases are out and will suggest new releases based on what the user likes to listen to, so tagging your music and identifying related artists helps put your new releases in front of potential new fans. Users can now search Bandcamp tag pages (for example /tag/folk) to browse by genre or other key words.
Tag your music, for example with genres or locations. Bandcamp is putting more focus on search and discover on the platform.
