Nothing to create your page. On each payment received (gift or contribution), VYU keeps 5% + €0.25 (5% + $0.30 for a page in dollars), payment fees included. When paying, your fans can choose to cover this fee. Stripe pays the money into your account.

How do other artists recommend me?

Every VYU page recommends up to three artists around it under the bio: same city or same genre. Your page shows up on theirs, theirs on yours. It's automatic: just make sure your city and genre are filled in.

Your followers who joined your team, through your invite link or by ticking “Join the team” on your page. With every news you announce, a new track, a show, a video, a fundraiser, any news at all, they get an email with their story ready to post and your page link. Two days after their share, they get your thank-you with the number of people their story brought.

Do I see my team's emails?

No. You see your team's first names and what each one did, never the addresses. VYU writes on your behalf, in your name, and every member can leave in one click from every email.

How many news can I send?

One a week at most, so members keep opening them. The box tells them before they tick it. You pick the news, VYU suggests the title, you check and send: nothing goes out without you.

Does free support really count?

Yes. A track shared, a fan who follows you: that's what gets your music heard. These actions appear on your wall like the others.

Where does my fans' money go?

Straight to your account. Your fans pay on your page, one of them or several together, and Stripe sends every payment to your bank account, without going through VYU. For an item on your wishlist, you then order it yourself from the shop you choose.

Yes. On every track of your page, you can put a file up for sale (WAV, FLAC, MP3): fans name their price from the minimum you set, starting at $1 or €1, and get the file right away. The money lands on your Stripe account, with the same fee as a gift. Your tracks stay playable on your page and your platforms: what the fan buys is the file, and the gesture.

Where does the gear come from?

From the shop you pick (Thomann, Woodbrass or another). You paste the product page into your wishlist. When a fan gifts it, you get the money on your account and order it yourself with the link.

What if my campaign doesn't reach its goal?

You keep what was raised: each contribution is paid straight to you by Stripe at payment time. The goal gives direction, it doesn't hold the money hostage. A campaign ends on its deadline or when you close it.

Do I have to declare what I receive?

Possibly, depending on your situation and country. Money from your fans may count as income from your activity, to declare for tax, and for social contributions if it becomes regular. On Stripe, you sign up as “Individual / Sole proprietor”: that's its box for individuals, it doesn't create a company and doesn't exempt you from anything. VYU doesn't give tax advice: if in doubt, check with your tax office or an accountant.

Who can create a page?

Any independent artist: singer-songwriter, band, beatmaker, producer, DJ. If you make music, it's for you.

Your followers join your team through your invite link or by posting a story. With every news, a new track, a show, a video, a fundraiser, each of them gets an email with their story ready to post. Their followers land on your page, and you know how many people each member of your team brought you. One news a week at most, and you never see their emails.
