Title: How many of you guys run your own websites for recordings?
Post by: shadowfax1007 on March 22, 2017, 07:57:23 PM

I'm curious how many of you guys run your own websites for your recordings, instead of using LMA and the like.
I ran my own blog which was relatively successful back when I used to tape.

I'm contemplating starting up again and I'm curious to see whats out there now.

I have an unlimited SoundCloud account for $15/month that allows me to post unlimited shows (playlists) and tracks.  Its integrated with Facebook and others social media sites, so I can post and share to my personal Facebook page for recordings and promotions.

Dan, EricPH and I run nyctaper.com, which is also affiliated with two Soundcloud accounts (Dan's and mine) and a bandcamp page. The bandcamp is trickier because you have to take the extra step of paying out the artists, but for small independents it can make a real difference. We consistently pay out the artists on our bandcamp page more $ than Spotify pays them every month.

Sloan Simpson has Southern Shelter which is great.

I know Steve Toney runs a facebook taping group for his recordings.

Here's my FB page https://www.facebook.com/Lost-To-Time-268575229869655/
but I suggest a FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/525894604089240/

The Lost To Time group page has always had more traffic and is easier to manage. The Lost To Time page, might have more exposure if I was planning on paying to advertise it, but since I tape mostly local stuff the group works best.
