Your fans can support you without paying
A fan who loves your track only has a like to give. On VYU, they post it in their name, for free, and their followers land on your page.
Most of your fans will never pay to support you. It is not that they do not want to help. Nobody offers them anything else.
A like leads nowhere
A fan who loves your track can like it, sometimes comment. It feels good, and it stops there. Their followers do not see it, or see it go by without knowing where to go. The gesture stays in the app where it was made.
The most valuable thing this fan has is not their money. It is that they know people who trust them.
Two free gestures
On your VYU page, the first thing a fan is offered costs nothing:
- Sharing a track. They pick one of your tracks and get a post in their name: "I love « Nuit blanche » by Malo Ferrand".
- Following you on a platform. They follow you on Spotify, Deezer or elsewhere, and their post says so: "I'm a fan of Malo Ferrand on Spotify".
Malo Ferrand is one of our example profiles, and he is fictional.
The fan gives a first name and an email, which is never shown. No account to create, nothing to pay.
Where the post leads
Every post carries the address of your page. In an Instagram Story, the fan pastes the link into it. In a Reel or on TikTok, the address is written on the image.
So your fan's follower lands on your page, not on a platform. There they play a preview in one tap, find your platforms right under your photo, and discover the rest: your shows, your wishlist, your fundraiser, the wall of people who support you.
For those who do not post
Not everyone is comfortable with Stories. A fan can also send your page to a friend by message, in one gesture. In your dashboard, you see how many links were sent and how many visits they brought.
What we do not do
VYU never rewards listening itself. We give a fan nothing for playing your track on repeat. Sharing and following are sincere gestures, and that is why they count.
A place on your wall
Every free gesture appears on your wall of support, with the fan's first name and what they did, next to the gifts and the contributions. A fan who paid nothing has a place there like everyone else.
