FAQ

How can musicians generate new revenue streams beyond traditional music sales?

With Web3 technology, you can create innovative revenue models such as streaming royalties, collectible NFTs, and direct ticket sales. These options allow you to engage with your fanbase in new ways, offering them exclusive experiences and even allowing them to invest in your music’s success. By leveraging decentralized apps (dApps), you can bypass traditional intermediaries like labels and distributors and connect directly with your supporters.

Why should musicians release music as a collectible (NFT)?

By releasing your music in the form of a digital collectible (NFT), you can offer more than just the music. 

  • Smart contracts embedded in the transaction can encode additional content such as exclusive tracks, behind-the-scenes footage, access to live performance experiences, and more. 
  • Embed fundraising proceeds to automatically send a portion of sales to a mission of your choice. 
  • Set up revenue splits to ensure that everyone involved in the project is compensated fairly.
  • Set the price of your release and distribute your music independently without involvement by the music industry. Promotion of your work can still be contracted by third parties as a separate service.
What are the fundraising opportunities and why is this interesting as a musician?

Art and music are more than paintings, digital media or audio. Behind every work of art or song is a greater message, from protecting our planet to driving social impact. Today, research suggests that mission-driven NFT projects tend to have higher success rates. These projects not only engage communities more effectively but also attract greater investment and support due to their clear purpose and social impact.

What new solutions do musicians have at their disposal to help grow a thriving fan community?

To truly connect with your audience, capturing detailed fan data is key. By directing your followers from centralized platforms to a landing page that you own, you can gather important information about their location, preferences, and listening habits. Out-of-the-box solutions, such as OpenStage, Tribly, and Laylo, make this process easy. This information helps you make informed decisions on how to engage with your fans, foster artist-to-fan loyalty, and even offer exclusive perks.

How can I get started with Web3 music platforms?

Numerous platforms are created on the blockchain every day that allow you to release and sell your music directly to fans in the form of NFTs. You can offer music as collectibles, with smart contracts that automatically handle revenue splits between collaborators. These tools are designed to make the process simple and transparent, and you retain full control over the rights and distribution of your music across all major streaming platforms.

<br /> Can I sell concert tickets directly to my fans and avoid ticket vendors?
Absolutely. Using NFT-based tickets, you can bypass traditional ticket vendors, keeping all the revenue from ticket sales. Smart contracts can also be embedded in the tickets to offer additional value, like exclusive backstage access or bonus content. This model also allows you to capture fan data for future engagement and eliminates ticket scalping or fraud.
