Help Your Fans Support You Better
Help Your Fans Support You Better
Many fans don’t realize how streaming platforms distribute revenue. While they may assume their streams directly benefit you, the reality is that revenue is pooled and divided among all artists, leaving those with fewer streams earning very little, if anything.
Sharing this knowledge is more than raising awareness—it’s a chance to educate, build trust, and empower your fans to support you more effectively.
Why It Matters
When fans understand the challenges artists face, they’re more likely to take meaningful actions to support your work, such as:
- Purchasing your music or merch.
- Joining your membership platform (like Sleeve!).
- Attending your live shows or special events.
Transparency builds loyalty and deepens connections.
How to Start the Conversation
Encourage Action
Show fans how they can support you directly:
“If you love my music and want to help me create more, consider joining me on Sleeve for exclusive perks and a closer connection.”
