Great video! You really break things down here. I know that I was on Bandcamp years ago and I went inactive, but I recently came back because the people who actually care about my music are definitely using that platform. It's just like you said, when you put your music on the platforms that everyone else is using, you are pretty much that one needle in a bunch of haystacks.

I'm a vinyl addict and that'll always be my preferred format, but BandCamp is cool. More creative control, no real limitations and it doesn't cost anything. I've yet to have many sales, my new album was released on Monday and so far no sales but 49 plays which is still pretty cool. If you are interested, I'll include a link below, the previous album and a bunch of EPs are also available if you like what you hear: thequagaars.bandcamp.com/album/evolver

Thanks for making the video, it was very informative. I'm considering adding the subscription option at some point down the line but I don't think I have a big enough audience to make that worthwhile yet. I'm having a look at your profile at the moment, streaming "IN CASE OF REVOLUTION" as I type this. It's got a really cool vibe to it. The closest I can think of is maybe early NIN mixed with some of the "Madchester" bands. Some of it could work really well on a soundtrack to an action/sci-fi film. The USB brick is an interesting concept, that's really thinking outside the box. I've been brainstorming similar ideas with my own music recently, although mostly just maybe having an album on some obscure format.

I've been a sideman in numerous bands over the course of the forty plus years that I've played bass; that's as be, of course, since bass is primarily a sideman gig. But nobody I've ever played with has taken the time to sit down with me and help me to develop my own material and give tips and pointers on how to copyright, distribute, and monetize my own music. This year, I've chosen not to go chasing after bands (no disrespect meant, by the way) and devote my spare time to developing my chops in songwriting, as well as polishing my skills in keyboards and guitar. I've been hearing a lot about Bandcamp, and given my current situation (I'm nearly 59, I'm not planning to tour anytime soon, I actually have a day job I'm fond of), I think it might make a good limited vehicle for releasing my songs in a forum that is supportive without becoming a source of regret later, as I've heard about some distribution services, which I won't name. Thanks for the video, Brian, I appreciate it!

Hey Brian! Great video! I'm a metalhead videomaker and I'm going to selfproduce a solo album and sell it on BandCamp following your advices . Let's say it becomes a hit (lol), how would I pay taxes to my income and to which institution? Thank you so much
@brianbotkiller
5 жыл бұрын
Best bet is to set aside 25% of your income in a savings account, that you will use to pay taxes. At the end of the year, you report that as miscellaneous income. You may not have to pay on it, but, I use a tax professional to handle my taxes. I pay quarterly self employment taxes to the IRS, and then handle the rest at the end of the year. I always say it's best to work with an accountant. Good luck!

You should always be mindful of sample clearance. It can get you in a lot of trouble if you're not careful. Best bet is to not use stuff you don't own, if you want to cover your butt.

@brianbotkiller

I don't think that Bandcamp keeps track of things like this, honestly. Usually if you're doing a cover, you're supposed to purchase a license for it, but that's also usually only if you're going to sell the cover.

my problem with bandcamp is that, it becomes sort of a Walmart where music is completely monopolized. Where if i want Heinz ketchup or Walmart great value ketchup, im not to sure the ramifications of music consolidation onto one site. just yet but it doesn't feel right.

I guess so, but, really, that happens more on Spotify and the other services like it. It's easier to stand out on Bandcamp, and I don't really feel that there's a monopoly there, definitely not the way that there is on streaming services.
