 @c53d74b8 Hugely agree with you on streams vs BandCamp. 
I’ve made a VERY modest amount of money from BandCamp this year (less than £50) but it’s practically a Scrooge McDuck vault of money compared to the dust particles of cash I get from streaming. I’m so glad BandCamp exists.

 @c53d74b8 @38bb0509 i have just the oposite experience. Dust particles from BC and $200-400US per month from streaming.

 @402ce333 @38bb0509 That's great! 

It definitely depends on genre, too. I know rap and some edm genres do well on Soundcloud, and Metal fans aren't big on streaming services like Spotify. It seems like a "know where the fans of your type of music already are, and be where they are" type of deal.

 @38bb0509 @c53d74b8 i promote my music on platforms where the payouts are relately high on platforms like IG where i have a relatively large presence. Which means for me Youtube, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and Spotify, in that order.
