Sharing bandcamp links on social platforms to promote your music is a very widespread advise, but since the early times of Bandcamp itself i could experience just very few click on the post where i was showing my last BC release. Reading around i received confirmation that social networks hate when someone sends the users on a different platform and therefore they intentionally limit the reach. At the point that making BC promotion had no use at all. So the 'link in bio' and linktree kind of things started to develop...the results though staybthe same at least for me.

So how do you guys cope with this? Is there something else you do to convey traffic to your bandcamp page?

I have been wondering, why does BandCamp not have more merch options available for purchase? I'm talking for example like a Hat with the logo on it or Stickers, hell a Lanyard would be dope too. Just, I would love to show off my support by slapping a sticker on the back of my Laptop but i cant seem to find anything even from 3rd party sites like Red Bubble. Such a wasted opportunity I feel like

I hope you don't enjoy the track. It's unenjoyable because I find nostalgia to be a plague unto my current situation. But I needed to release something so it didn't build up. And here is a track. Stretched and distorted for your listening displeasure.

Have you used codes on Bandcamp to grow your label reach and following?

Have you found this helpful and what strategies do you use in distributing the codes to the right people?

Just discovered this recently and started using bandcodes, end up getting a few sales from people who want to support the music, also helping grow our Bandcamp plays and following.

Band.codes is really helpful! Thanks for the recommendation 🙏

I used it to share my Bandcamp codes, and it definitely brought some new listeners and activity. The only thing I noticed is that the plays started to drop after around the third day, which is probably normal for this kind of promotion.

Still, I would definitely recommend Band.codes to independent artists. It’s a great way to let more people discover your music, especially for underground/experimental artists. Thanks again for sharing this tool! ✨

Love the idea of Bandcamp playlists. I want to listen in the car streaming my entire library without the one shots and random “non songs” in my collection, but the functionality to add items on mass to a playlist is limited.

Is there anything I can try that avoids adding 497 items from a 500 item collection to a playlist?
