We’ve teamed up with Bandcamp to help musicians and labels like you connect directly with a superfan community and create more opportunities to earn from your fans. This partnership means you can now automatically include your Bandcamp products as a destination on Linkfire's music landing pages. Let's explore why this matters and how it can benefit you.
What is Bandcamp?
Bandcamp is not just an online record store; it's a vibrant music community where fans discover, connect with, and directly support the artists they love. With over 24 million fan visits per month, Bandcamp is the world's largest superfan community. Fans on Bandcamp thrive on real connections with artists, labels and other fans. Over a third of all purchases happen because of active recommendations within the community.
Why Bandcamp matters for artists
Direct impact for musicians
Bandcamp's artist-first revenue model is impressive. It fosters a global music community by offering equitable compensation through direct sales of music, vinyl, merchandise, and unique experiences like fan subscriptions and listening parties. Fans have paid artists and their labels $1.34 billion through Bandcamp, fueling careers with millions of album purchases and over 3 million physical items sold annually. The platform ensures that 82% of each sale goes directly to the artist or label within 48 hours, enabling artists to thrive and continue creating the music fans love.
Discovery platform for tastemakers
Fans on Bandcamp are constantly searching for new music. They take pride in discovering and championing new music before it hits the mainstream. This dedication shows—over 70% of purchases on Bandcamp go toward newly released music. If you want to reach a passionate, tastemaker audience, Bandcamp is your essential platform.
Communicate directly with your fans
Bandcamp offers tools that allow you to engage directly with your fans. You can announce tours, new music, or simply send a hello through personal messages. Fans can opt into your mailing list, making it easy to download emails and use them on other messaging platforms. Sales reports also show you who supported your work, enabling you to thank them personally.
Prioritizing fandom
Bandcamp isn't just about selling music; it's about building a community. Listening parties are a powerful tool for connecting with superfans and promoting pre-orders. Direct fan subscriptions allow for closer relationships with top fans and provide a predictable, recurring revenue stream.
Greater control over your work
Bandcamp gives artists more control over how they present their work. From setting prices to controlling release dates and designing profiles, artists have the freedom to manage their music the way they want. Unlike other platforms, your music isn't at the mercy of algorithms or "pay-to-play" playlists; it's listened to and recommended by real people.
