For most artists, 90%-95% of your revenue comes from playing live shows and online engagement – the last place an artist truly holds creative control and the majority of the money. And unlike most things that are constantly changing in the music industry, the live show and your official website will never go away. We make sure your sales and streams count by reporting them to Soundscan through Nielsen’s authenticated partners & BuzzAngle directly, providing you, the artist, industry proof to advance your career. Not selling or streaming enough? Our tools & services help you engage your audience whether online or onstage to win more fans, sell more merch or stream more music to make it count on the charts.
“Having an artist out on the road and selling units is wonderful, but until we began reporting those units through Indiehitmaker those sales numbers had very little impact beyond their initial net profit. Sure it’s great to sell 40 CD’s at a show. At $5 each, the band has generated somewhere around $125 net profit, which can fill the gas tank, but the real value for an independent artist is in the numbers that are reported and viewed by the industry. Over the course of a successful tour, the band was able to report a couple thousand CD’s sold and was able to chart on the Billboard Heatseekers Charts as an unsigned artist. I can’t put a dollar value on that. It is virtually priceless. Record Labels, Promoters, Booking Agents, Investors and even Brand Affiliates want numbers. My advice to artists is this- You worked hard and sold CD’s. You generated those numbers, but if you don’t report them they don’t really count. IHM makes it easy. “Stephanie Christie Publicist & Manager Stephanie Christie Management & Publicity
