Streaming pays fractions of a cent. Your fans will pay more.
The people who actually care about your music want a direct connection to you.
Spotify pays $0.003 per stream. Apple Music pays $0.01. Your real fans — the ones who come to every show, who know every lyric — have nowhere to go to actually support you. Spotlightly is that place.
The problem with Spotify / streaming
A song needs 250,000 streams to earn $1,000 on Spotify. Artists with 10,000 monthly listeners earn roughly $30-50/month from streaming. The same audience on Spotlightly at $7.99/mo would earn $79,900/mo.
