Now indie artists, podcasters, and content creators have an opportunity to build their fanbase while maintaining a steady income in a multitude of ways.

After tapping into a subscription model, 100 percent of the revenue collected by the artist from fans will be directed back to their pockets. Artists can be paid up to five cents per stream if their content is exclusive to Disctopia or opt for a direct download in which they can set their price. What’s more, if 75 percent of users or more listen to the content, artists are guaranteed to be compensated at the highest rate.

In addition, artists can sell merchandise to fans and accept donations with the click of a button. Better yet, the merchant and donation commission is free to artists. However, they will only pay for the processing and creation of the merchandise.

“We make it all seamless. It’s all within one tool and that’s what makes our platform different from everybody else,” Hill told AfroTech. “We don’t want to hinder artists by taking a percentage of what they can make like Patreon or Etsy. We are just charging for the technology. So, if you make a million dollars on our platform, you get a million dollars.”
