It’s Bandcamp Friday! 🎸 🎉 But what does that actually mean for musicians and the people that buy their music?
Bandcamp is a music platform where independent musicians can release their own music directly to an audience, without all the hassle and stress of finding a record label that’s willing to promote your music.
It’s a lifeline for many bands, singers, musicians and producers who love making music but haven’t yet hit the big time.
Bandcamp doesn’t charge a monthly subscription fee. But it *does* take a chunk of the money fans pay when buying a track, album or merchandise – 15% on digital items, and 10% on physical goods.
So, what does any of this have to do with Bandcamp Friday? 🤔
How Bandcamp Friday works
Bandcamp Friday’s happen once every month, with Bandcamp waving their usual take of musician’s income.
If you buy an album on Bandcamp Friday, the artist gets 100% of that money.
That means more income for the artist, a healthier income to support their art and more chance to make new music for their fans.
It’s simple, straightforward and easy to understand.
If you really want to support an independent artist, buy their music on Bandcamp today! 🙌
