> Drops lets you create a landing page for your upcoming releases

Why should they(content creators) not just use their existing website to capture data and send every time they drop something new?

Thanks!

After talking to a ton of creators, we found that most of them don’t have or maintain a website so they wanted a simple solution. We’ve also built in the notification, marketing and messaging tools so that there’s very little work on the creator side.

We do have some requests for an embedable widget which is definitely on our list for upcoming features.

Landing pages that display links to multiple music streaming/purchase/play sites are extremely common nowadays. Pretty much every music distributor offers them. Example: https://distrokid.com/willsmith
Yep we’re not competing with multiple link tools / presaves. We’re focused on the marketing and notification side. For a creator those tools don’t help your fans actually remember your future content they only link out to the content once it’s available.
Because most content creators do not have the time or technical ability to do this.
