50 SUPERFANS can make more money than a million streams

A million Spotify streams sounds impressive, but it probably pays only $3,000 to $4,000.
Meanwhile, 50 real fans spending $100 each on exclusive merch brings in $5,000.

That’s the difference between chasing streams and building a business.
Independent artists who learn to monetize outside of streaming, through merch, VIP experiences, and premium offers, are the ones actually making money.
