Bandcamp is pretty good! I urge you to keep doing that. But also do the #demu thing!

1. Get yourself a lightning address first.

2. Get yourself set up with RSS to upload your music. One upload puts you on fountain.fm , and v4vmusic.com , podcastindex.org and opens the door for podcasters to find your music.

3. Promote it on nostr so the people know, and for music shows spin your tunes!

We like to use podhome.fm but theres many options out there in varying flavors of sovereignty. Ask us if you get stuck!

Thanks for your response!

I'm not in the crypto world at all. Do you have any recommendations for setting up lightning address?

Rizful replied to you, theyre legit and recommended. Id also recommend looking at coinos.io as an artist. These are free options.

You can use your lightning address with podhome.fm or any other hosting provider that also helps build your RSS feed. You can use it in your nostr profile too for zaps! The address will look like an email address yourname@rizful.com for example.

Fountain.fm makes it very easy for artists to upload AND they provide a wallet too. Fountain (like podhome) are paid options.

There's a bunch of other options out there for wallets and hosting providers. The basic plumbing needed are:

Lightning address - to recieve payments

RSS Feed - its a big text file. Create your own from a template( nostr:nprofile1qqszm7l9ew24usqckahx2s4rhpuzz3xatatnty2dhxfpl5jv8v73qmgprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0g6m2jr prob has a copy) or let one of the service providers to do it for you

Media Host - this is often rolled in if you use a service that builds your feed for you. But you can use anything to host your audio file and album art. Just put the address in your feed.

If you really wanna dive headfirst into the deepend, consider building a lightning node. 💜

Also, YES, here is the DeMu template:

Hey thank you for all your help. I think I need to experience it from the other side first. It's all completely new for me.

Pretty much nailed it.
