Get paid for music by The Future FM? Although there are a lot of cons to joining Spotify as an artist is undeniable that this Swedish start-up is in control of the music industry and hosting your songs on the platform can help you increase your fanbase exponentially especially if you can get your music in playlists curated by Spotify. For indie musicians without a label Spotify can help you kick-start your career but lately this has become increasingly difficult as some major labels like Sony, Universal and Warner own a significant piece of shares of the company so in reality a lot of these major playlists suffer monetary influence from these labels and work similarly to radio stations.
One of the other reasons why SoundCloud lost quite a lot of its popularity is that there has been a lot of various disputes, either over copyright infringements (often unfounded, claimed by SoundCloud anti-piracy algorithms by mistake) with some users completely losing their accounts for not actually doing anything wrong. Also, there were a lot of mishandled takedown claims filed purely with the intention to harm the author, etc.

Bandcamp is probably the first name that comes to mind when you talk of SoundCloud alternatives. It is a music publishing platform that has been around for over a decade. Like SoundCloud, it also caters to indie artists for the most part, and is often the first port of call for musicians looking for an alternative to SoundCloud. Artists who sign up with the service are provided with their own customizable microsite where they can upload and share their music. As a fan, you can stream all tracks for free, but can also choose to buy either entire albums or individual tracks at prices that you set yourself. You can also donate to an artist or receive a free track or album by joining the artist’s mailing list. Unlike SoundCloud, musicians don’t need to pay a fixed yearly amount to Bandcamp to upload their music. The company charges a 15% commission until your overall sales reach $5,000, after which, the commission drops to 10%. Each artist’s page on the Bandcamp website also features information on the artist, their social media links, merchandising links and a list of their available music. The service was a website-only platform until 2013, when the company launched its mobile apps for Android and iOS.
