Music Artist Website vs Social Media

Most artists live on social media.

But there’s a problem.

You don’t own it.

Social Media

Pros:

• reach
• discovery

Cons:

• algorithms control visibility
• followers aren’t owned

Websites / Platforms

Pros:

• ownership
• control
• direct fan connection

Cons:

• requires setup

---

The Shift

Artists are moving from:

followers → fans → members

---

The Real Answer

You need both.

But:

• social = discovery
• website/platform = ownership

Conclusion

If you only have social media:

you’re renting your audience.

If you have your own platform:

you own it.
