Launching an artist from a small town?
Any advice for launching an artist from a small town? If you are an artist how did you grow your fanbase in places which aren't your hometown? For context, my band are based in the Isle of Man, a tiny island near the UK with a population of 80,000 mostly older (55+) people. Realistically we've probably got as big as we can over here, now need to start making in roads in mainland UK.

Biggest ROI?
What has gotten you the biggest ROI thus far? Ex: Being an influencer, royalties, sync, endorsement, merch, love events, etc?

We used to do merch at shows, but handling stock was a bit of an issue, we'd always have 2XL & XS left over knocking round the van. Then if any get damaged/dirty you can't really sell them on. We found that not many people coming to our shows wanted to carry round merch for the rest of their night so just wouldn't buy any. Got into the dropshipping game on merch about a year ago and haven't looked back tbh, host the store online. Whenever we speak to anyone we can just send them the link to the store they pay through paypal and it's all sorted through the Dropshipper. They get brand new merch and we don't have to carry it round and protect it. When we do bigger shows we buy some in ourselves from the dropshipper to sell but that's the exception not the rule.

Distribution
I was curious about something and wanted to get the opinions of the group. What is your preferred distribution platform and why? I see many benefits with the OG's like Distrokid, Tunecore, CD Baby, etc, but I feel like there are lots of newer ones with great benefits as well.
