EVEN Release Pricing Strategies: Maximize Your Revenue and Fan Engagement
On EVEN, pricing isn’t just about covering costs—it’s about creating a system that rewards your fans, strengthens your community, and unlocks your full earning potential. With flexible pricing models and exclusive access tiers, you can turn every release into both a revenue driver and a community-building tool.
The Foundation: Setting Your Minimum Price
Your minimum price sets the floor for your release. It’s the least a fan must pay to access your main content, like a new single, album, or exclusive video.
How to decide your minimum price:
Respect Your Value: Match the content type. Albums often justify higher minimums than singles.
Know Your Audience: Consider your fanbase’s spending comfort—from students on budgets to superfans eager to collect everything.
Cover Your Costs: Factor in production, mixing, mastering, or other creative expenses.
This minimum is not the ceiling—it’s a way to ensure your art is valued while leaving room for fans to contribute more.

The Waterfall: Unlocking More with Tiers
EVEN’s waterfall access model rewards superfans while keeping your releases accessible to everyone. Fans can unlock additional exclusive content by paying more.
Example tier structure:
Tier 1: Core Access (minimum price)
Tier 2: The Fan Pack ($10+)
Tier 3: The Superfan Bundle ($25+)

Tips for Maximizing Revenue and Engagement
Communicate the Value: Explain why each tier is special and worth more support.
Make Tiers Compelling: Ensure each step feels like a big upgrade with real exclusivity.
Bundle Across EVEN Features: Tie in Communities (monthly exclusives), Fan Chat (exclusive access rooms), or Artist Store (limited merch) for higher-tier bonuses.
Think Like a Fan: Ask yourself, “What would make me feel excited to contribute more?”
Beyond Revenue: Building Community
Pricing strategy is more than just sales—it’s how you identify and nurture your most loyal fans. Fans who choose higher tiers are signaling deep commitment. Recognize them with personal thank-yous, exclusive updates, or early access to future projects.
By thoughtfully setting your minimum price and structuring tiers, you can design releases that maximize revenue, reward superfans, and build a stronger community around your work.
