Kevin Kelly's premise in "1,000 True Fans" suggests that you don't need millions of followers or plays to succeed. By cultivating a dedicated base of just 1,000 true fans, you can achieve financial independence and artistic freedom. These are the fans who will eagerly support every album you release, join your membership tiers, and attend your exclusive events.

Sleeve helps you build and monetize these relationships, allowing you to create membership tiers and sell albums directly to your fans. Use the calculator below to see how much you could earn by tapping into the power of your true fans. Start building your community today and watch your music career thrive!


Understanding the Data

The data above breaks down your potential earnings:

  • Memberships: Earnings from fans who support you through your membership tiers.
  • Album Sales: Revenue from selling your albums directly to fans.

We aim to adopt a "user-centric" payment model to compensate artists for streaming, unlike the "pro-rata" system used by other platforms. This new model is still in development and not reflected in the figures.

Please note, these estimates are based on our evolving models. A payment processing fee of around 6%, varying by currency, country, and payment method, has been deducted from the total. Stay tuned for updates!
