Bandcamp

Bandcamp is an online music store, as well as a platform for artist promotion, that caters mainly for independent artists.[1] Every artist has a customizable microsite with the albums they uploaded. All tracks can be listened for free on the website and some artists offer free full downloads. Bandcamp takes a 15% cut of sales made from their website (in addition to payment processing fees), which drops to 10% after selling more than $5000 worth.[2]

The site gained much attention in July 2010 when Amanda Palmer gave up her record label and started selling an album on Bandcamp, using Twitter for promotion.[3][4]
