Bandcamp is pretty good! I urge you to keep doing that. But also do the #demu thing! 1. Get yourself a lightning address first. 2. Get yourself set up with RSS to upload your music. One upload puts you on fountain.fm , and v4vmusic.com , podcastindex.org and opens the door for podcasters to find your music. 3. Promote it on nostr so the people know, and for music shows spin your tunes! We like to use podhome.fm but theres many options out there in varying flavors of sovereignty. Ask us if you get stuck!

Thanks for your response! I'm not in the crypto world at all. Do you have any recommendations for setting up lightning address?

Cheers!

I’m doing the same…. I use Castopod which is a self hosted option for releasing as RSS/Podcasting 2.0. Also on Bandcamp and Mirlo as pay what you like. Good luck!

Pretty much nailed it.

Thanks for introducing me to Mirlo! It looks like it's what I *wished* Bandcamp was (philosophically, at least). I'm not keen on a monthly subscription service right now so castopod looks like a good option for me. Right now I'm trying to get my head around RSS/podcasting 2.0 as a user before I try adding my content. I've allowed myself to become complacent on those large platforms!

At this point in time. The only solid investment of time and energy is #demu #v4v podcast2. I wouldn't delete anything from bandcamp, but it's absolutely not worth any further work. It's neither going to help you, nor your audience. You might want to have a track or two everywhere with links to your real deal, in the eventuality someone tries to look you up. Take it from someone who's spent over 20 years in the trenches of digital independence closely observing and probing pretty much every enshittifier of the web.
