Monetize Your Music

43 readers

Lately, I've been focusing on how to promote my music and reach/build an audience and on making sure that I'm collecting all the royalties that belong to me.

However, I notice that a lot of musicians (including myself) know very little about it, the information is sparse and confusing, there is no checklist about where to register, what's needed to be claimed and so on.

So I thought it might be helpful for all musicians to gather, share information and experiences and learn from each other.

The purpose of this community (as of now) is to post about the following:

1) Music royalties collection

  • Research
  • Which company collects which royalties
  • How to register, collect
  • Anything else related to royalties
2) Music promotion (not here, intended as how to)
  • Research
  • Testing, experiences
  • What works and what doesn't
  • What tools, companies or methods and how to use them
  • Anything else related to music promotion
  • Well, I guess you got the point :) Anyone who can give or get value from here is more than welcome!

    Dear fellow musicians,

    Today, I'd like to share with you another of my favourite Bandcamp's alternatives!
    It is called Faircamp, and it is a static site generator for audio producers.

    This free and open-source tool, allows you to easily generate webpages for your music that can be self-hosted.
    While Faircamp doesn't have any promotional features itself, @keefmarshall created a webring, where you could be discovered (as long as you join the ring).

    You can find all the features on Faircamp website.
    Meljoann's extensive blog post walks you through getting started with faircamp on Windows, Mac and Linux.
    The Faircamp webring can be found here.
    Radio Free Fedi is providing some help for Faircamp hosting. Read more here.

    Faircamp is kindly offered by Simon Repp.

    Enjoy! ๐Ÿ™ƒ
