How Scrybe Lets Artists Get Paid Directly From Fans!

TLDR: Scrybe's Platform Allows Indie Artists To Monetize Their Fanbase

There are so many ways to earn in the music industry. It seems like only the top-earning artists have a shot at earning revenue, right?

Well, that’s not fully the case.

Especially now that Scrybe allows artists to earn significant income from their fanbase:

• Streaming doesn’t pay small artists. You earn pennies while platforms bank millions.
• The old system is rigged. Labels and algorithms gatekeep your career.
• Per-fan monetisation is the future. 
• With just 2,000 true fans paying $0.50/month, you could earn nearly $10,000/year.
• Scrybe lets fans subscribe directly to you, and you keep 80%
• If you wait, you lose. Artists who move first will dominate this new model.

There are just a few of the interesting offers we found at Scrybe.

At Boost Collective, we’ve worked with thousands of independent artists. We’ve helped them get on major playlists, launch viral campaigns, hit 1M+ streams and build fanbases from scratch.

That being said, time after time… we’d get the same question.

“But  how do I actually get paid?” 

And for years, we had to explain the value of digital streaming in today’s era, but it seems that NOW there’s a fresh new platform to solve this problem.

It’s different from the traditional model, but chatting with Etienne from the team, we got a deep look into Scrybe.

Here’s the platform that will change the direction of your music career:

If Your Fans Don’t Support You… Who Will?

We have to be blunt: the modern streaming economy was never built for artists on a smaller scale.

It was built for major labels to increase revenues, platforms to harvest user data and monetize ads and lots of passive consumption.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, but you have to play by the industry’s terms.

In terms of REVENUE it’s a different story.

Even if you "chase streams" and try getting on playlists, here are the numbers:

10,000 streams - $35 a month.

And here's a deeper look across the OTHER platforms:

The team over at Scrybe has been developing a new model of artist compensation from fans.

Because, as it stands, you’ll need millions of plays just to make rent.

Meanwhile, you’re doing all the work of creating, promoting, and performing.

How is it that fans love your music… but you can’t afford a flight to your next show?

Let’s flip the script.

Don't Only Count Streams. Start Counting Fans.

What if you got paid per fan, not per stream?

That’s the model Scrybe Streaming is pushing—and it’s shaking the entire industry.

Instead of chasing clout, artists:

• Set a subscription price (up to $0.50/month)
• Get 80% of every fan’s payment
• Control their catalogue, branding, and payouts
• Build recurring revenue from real humans, not algorithms

Think in Fans, Not Streams

This is a breakdown of REAL potential earnings an artist can have with the Scrybe platform:

Because Scrybe is a bespoke platform built for artists, you are able to reach out and cultivate further relationships with your fans:

It’s a great UI, and one of the reasons I am happy to partner with them is because I have the same vision at Boost Collective - making it EASY for artists to win.

Great technology services built for the indie musician’s benefit.

Set a subscription price (up to $0.50/month)

Why would an artist need to use a platform like Scrybe?

On Scrybe, you’re not just another track;  you’re the product. That means you decide what you’re worth. Artists can set their own subscription price, up to $0.50/month per fan. It sounds small, but it adds up fast.

Boost Collective’s background is in digital streaming revenues.

We have to leverage Playlist Pitching, running Direct to Song campaigns and other external methods to build the royalties and streams.

With Scrybe, you can focus on JUST the fan, because that is the level of continual income.

The possibilities are endless because once the relationship is built, you can expect them to support and engage with your platform. This is real income tied to real people who actually care.

Why are Scrybe prices at $0.50 per fan... Why can’t I charge more?

This price point is intentionally low to remove friction. Fans won’t think twice about paying 50 cents to support their favourite artist monthly.

When hundreds or thousands of those fans pile up, you’ve built something far more powerful than virality: financial consistency.

You can always ask your fans to Venmo you, but… That can come off as overly transactional, and the “goodwill” is removed, which is the most important aspect to maintaining a fan base.

With Scrybe, you’re no longer “hoping” for algorithm exposure (or getting a Promo Campaign designed to trigger it); instead, you control the price tag on your art.

Get 80% of a Fan’s Payment (Big Split)

Most platforms take 50% of your revenue and leave you with table scraps. 

Boost Collective’s distribution is fair, leaving artists with all of their royalties, and we believe that a platform is there to boost, not exploit. Scrybe feels the same way.

With Scrybe, you get 80% of every subscription directly. 

There are no middlemen, no waiting, no “adjusted earnings” BS.

So let’s do the math: 

1,000 fans x $0.50/month = $500/month gross. Your cut? $400/month, recurring, straight to your artist wallet. It’s $4800 a year of straight cash from your SONGS!

That’s income you can count on, plan around, and build your career with. 

The current industry model was built to exploit scale. Scrybe was built to reward loyalty and authenticity, and that’s where artists win.

It’s just your role to nurture and grow that relationship with the fans.

You Can Control Your Catalog with Scrybe

In traditional platforms, your music lives at the mercy of distributors, takedown policies, and corporate playlists that change on a whim. 

You can’t fully blame them because Spotify Took Down 700,000 Songs, which means platforms need to bend to the DSPs’ will.

On Scrybe, your catalog is yours — always. You decide what goes live, what stays hidden, and what’s exclusive to paying fans.

This gives you strategic power. 

Want to drop a bonus track only for your subscribers? Do it. 

Want to test a new sound with your core audience before releasing it publicly? Done. 

You want to make a TikTok sped-up or slowed-down version? At your will.

It’s more than hosting — it’s about treating your music like a business asset. And when you own the storefront, set the price, and own the customer list?

That’s not music distribution, that’s music ownership.

Best Part: Recurring Artist Revenue with Scribe

What if you didn’t have to start from zero every month? 

We’ve noticed that many artists, if they stop releasing or promoting (we’ve promoted over 150,000 artists for context), then it can fall flat.

It’s not easy to develop a predictably growing income stream.

That’s what recurring revenue unlocks. 

With Scrybe, you’re attracting people who support your music every month.

Whether you have 50 or 5,000 fans, the model is the same: stacked income that grows with your audience.

You don’t have to grind forever for exposure.

Instead, build a base of fans who fund your next project, not platforms, not labels, your fans.

Kanye West Releases Exclusives to Scrybe (Exclusively!)

When Kanye West released Donda 2 exclusively on Scrybe, he didn’t just make a statement; he fired a warning shot.

Politics and drama aside, it’s good to see an artist in support of the fan-powered movement.

Two tracks are ONLY available there. 

No Spotify. No Apple. No YouTube.

And here’s why that’s terrifying for legacy platforms:

In this model, with just 1% of his followers subscribing at $0.50/month, Ye would earn:

• 550,000 fans = $275,000/month
• 80% to Kanye = $220,000/month
• Yearly = $2.64 million.

This isn’t fantasy. It’s math.

If one artist can do this… what happens when thousands follow?

Fans are interested in supporting their favourite artists, let’s make you the artist in question.

Summary: The Risk of Doing Nothing

Every month, you stay on the indie artist hamster wheel:

• You give away 100% of your fan data
• You earn less than 1 cent per supporter
• You rely on platforms that can drop you overnight

The platforms have trained you to be passive. To be grateful for breadcrumbs. But you’re not.

And the longer you wait to build a direct fan base, the harder it becomes to leave.

Every month you delay = lost fans, lost income, lost leverage.

You already have the fans. They just don’t have the right way to pay you yet.

Give them one.

This isn’t a cool new feature. This is the gameplan before streaming leaves you behind.

We at Boost Collective believe in the fan-first model because we’ve seen the backend. We know how few artists actually make money from streams… And how many could thrive if they switched to per-fan monetisation today?

Scrybe isn’t the future. It’s the present for artists who’ve had enough.
