I believe that selling people music once again directly will be encouraging to the artist due to the increase in monetary reward, and it will cause them to produce better work since they know that people aren't getting it for "free" i.e. 1/8th of a penny per stream.

• Linkmerch enriches the fan to artist (and vice versa) experience.
• Telling someone that they can go to your Spotify to listen to your music doesn’t make it feel special at all. Telling someone that it’s not totally free and easy to get your music tells them (and yourself) that it’s with the work. That you’ve worked for months. That you put your blood, sweat, and tears into this and that you're proud of it, and and that you think is of value.
• Linkmerch incorporates more industries, visual art and print, it's a more community oriented product and method.
• Linkmerch enriches the "world-building" that we do as artists as it incorporates two worlds, the online and offline, and it invites one world into the other.
• Make from 1000% up to 5000% More per song.
• It creates purchase justification in the fan
• Do this first. THEN go to the streaming platforms. We're run by a small team that treat your art like it matters. You should also treat and sell your art like it matters.
