Musicians are artists - not content creators. It's time there is a platform that respects that. It's time to stop sacrificing creativity on the altar of the algorithm. One post a week is all an artist gets to make an impact. There is now a level playing field for artists of all sizes regardless of budget or experience. Once-Weekly Posting Posting once a week prioritizes quality over quantity along with freeing up an artist's time to be able to make music. Artists spend up to 35 entire days in a year posting, filming, and researching what content to post on traditional social media; that is if an artist only spends 2.5 hours a day on social media marketing. With one high-quality post a week, artists get more engagement, more streams, and more of their time back. How does this help fans? Fans win when artists get to spend more time creating music instead of worrying about being social media wizards. One post a week, with meaningful content, gives true connection between artists and fans. Countdown The countdown starts when an artist schedules a post! Enable notifications so you don't miss a single post. Because of high quality, once-weekly posting, posts deserve to be treated like an event. Manually Verified Artists Meritune manually verifies all the artists on the platform to make sure they: • Have original music on streaming platforms • Are a human being — not AI • Do not use generative AI to create music Only real, human musicians are allowed to post. We do not use “AI Tags” on any posts, because there is never any AI artist allowed on Meritune. Easy Integration with Multiple Streaming Services People have different music streaming preferences. You can easily listen to the music you find through Meritune on your preferred streaming platform — no extra links or steps. We integrate with Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music. Why is Apple Music on every post? We use Apple Music’s API to fetch the song previews that you can play on every post, so we are required to include them. We are in no way affiliated with Apple Music, we just use their great API. Shows List “Upcoming Shows” is a central spot where all of your favorite artists have all their shows listed, both ticketed and non-ticketed venues. No more searching all over the internet. We believe everyone should be able to discover shows so we do not hide shows from artists you follow behind a paywall. The Shows Calendar includes: • Artist Name • Venue Name • Address • Show time • Optional: Link for ticket sales or more information Location Artists and fans can set their locations to customize what they see on the Near You page and Upcoming Shows List! This helps encourage fans to attend live music and find small artists near them they might never have run into organically. Algorithm Following - Only content from the artists you have chosen to follow. Traditional social media only shows posts to 3–12% of account followers. Meritune shows 100% of posts to 100% of followers, which is up to a 3000% increase in visibility of posts. Discover - Posts based on your genre preferences and interactions with other artists on the platform. Near You - Posts from artists within a custom range of your location. You can change the location radius on this feed or adjust it if you're on a trip and looking for a show to catch in a new spot.
