The Beam Artist Guide

What Are Superfan Payments?

Superfan payments are annual subscriptions where fans pay $5.50 per year to support you. Out of this amount, $4 goes directly into your pocket. The rest covers operational costs, ensuring The Beam remains a secure and sustainable platform for everyone.

How Fans Subscribe

  1. Fan Signs Up: A fan visits your profile on The Beam and clicks “Become a Superfan.”
  2. Annual Payment: The fan pays $5.50 for a year of Superfan status.
  3. You Get Paid: $4 of that payment is added to your account through Stripe.

Quick Tip: Make sure your Stripe account is set up and connected to your Artist Account to start receiving payments.

What Do Superfans Get?

Superfans don’t just support you; they also gain access to exclusive perks that deepen their connection with your journey:

  • Performance Data: Superfans can view unique insights about how your music is performing on The Beam, something they won’t find on major charts.
  • Impact Power: Their votes carry weight in Chart Seasons and help you rise to the top.
  • Closer Connection: Superfans feel like part of your inner circle, all without needing extra content or exclusive experiences from you.

Why Superfan Payments Are a Game-Changer

  • Passive Income: Unlike one-off donations or merch sales, Superfan payments are recurring, providing a steady revenue stream.
  • No Extra Work: You don’t need to create exclusive content or experiences—the engagement happens through the value superfans already see in your data and journey.
  • Fan Engagement: Superfans are more invested in your success, helping you grow both financially and artistically.
