How Do I Use Gated Content To Drive Album Download?

Gleam Rewards holds a download back until fans complete the actions you choose, then hands it over straight away.

  1. Start from the Album Promotion Reward template.

  1. On the How to Redeem tab, add two or three actions, like Spotify's Listen to Music or Podcasts for your first single, Follow an Artist on Spotify, and Visit a YouTube Channel. Set how many fans must complete.
  2. On the Reward tab, choose Downloads. Add a direct link to the file (a zip or mp3, say) or upload it, and set the Claim Text for the button, like "Download the Stems".

  1. On the Pre-Entry tab, ask for email so you can tell fans when the full album lands.

Once a fan finishes the required actions, the download button appears above the actions.

Offer something they can't get elsewhere: an early single, an instrumental or a stem pack. Reward settings are in Reward Codes / Links.
