Get your affiliate link
An affiliate link is a custom link tied to you, so we can track the listeners you bring in and pay you for them. Every install driven by that link earns you a $1 once the new user finishes onboarding and plays a song. We'll report and pay on it monthly.
Email us your artist name and we'll get back to you with the link.
Share your link where your
audience is
Link in bio, pinned post, the bottom of your newsletter. The QR code is the sneaky-good one. Print it on a card and stick it on the merch table, or blow it up and tape it to the front of the amp. People at your show already have their phones out. Give them something to point at.
Let us promote with you
Send us your artist photos, album art, logos, video clips, audio snippets. Anything you're comfortable with us using in paid marketing.
Be part of our ads
We use paid marketing and we like building campaigns around specific artists and specific genres, as they tend to outperform generic music app ads.
Get free promotion
When we build one of those campaigns around you, you get promotion you didn't pay for and we get users who came looking for something you make.
Get paid by new fans
New listeners who listen to your music on the Tapedeck app pay you directly. No pro-rata sharing, a person streams your song, you get paid.
Disclaimer: Sending us your materials doesn't guarantee they'll be used in an ad. If we decide to feature you in a campaign, we'll let you know first.
Let us know about your
new releases
New single? Album out in six weeks? Inform us and we'll consider featuring it.
If you're feeling bold, let us have this release exclusively for a week or more. We promote exclusives heavily, because they're the only thing we have that nobody else does.
Love what we stand for?
Film a video.
Send us a short vertical video of you talking about why Tapedeck matters to you and why your fans should check it out. Shoot it on your phone, keep it in your own words, and send it us. We'll share it on our socials.
Post it on your own feeds too, with your affiliate link attached. Then the video earns you a dollar per install and the royalties from everything those new fans play afterward.
