Release your content in an exclusive fashion. Linkmerch is a great way for smaller artists to prosper from a modest size audience.
Linkmerch isn't for every artists. But, If you enjoy creating merchandise, it's a fun and interesting way to share your new work.
The streaming megacorps aren't designed to capture the value of an independent artist's audience. An audience of 30,000 people is huge for an independent artist, but a drop in the bucket for the megacorps. They profit from every artists 30,000 audience collectively.
Linkmerch is conducive to a quality audience, not the quantity. Simultaneously, it has the potential to earn the artist 3000% more than current digital distribution practices.
My name's Goliath Flores, and I'm the inventor of Linkmerch. I think that releasing music in this way is enjoyable, and dignified. I love music and art, and I'm committed to affecting it in a positive way. - Message me with any questions: Linkmerch@pm.me
