3. The Revenue Share Tiers: 20% to 30%

Part 7 • ElasticStage Revenue-Share Model

ElasticStage's revenue share for artists typically operates on a tiered system, designed to reward successful artists as they sell more units:

<ul> <li><strong>Starting Tier (0-500 Units):</strong> Artists typically earn **20%** of the retail price.</li> <li><strong>Scaling Tiers (500+ Units):</strong> As your sales volume increases, your percentage can scale up, reaching **30%** or more for higher volumes.</li> </ul> These percentages are paid out on the net retail price (after any platform fees or taxes, similar to how digital distribution royalties work). This incentivizes artists to promote their physical media, as their earnings per unit increase with success.
