We don't have a hard minimum – what matters is fan loyalty, not raw follower count. Artists with 50,000 dedicated listeners can outperform those with millions of passive ones. If your fans actively support you, you're a great fit.
It often doesn't require much extra work – fans just want more of what you already do, so the best approach is to go about your normal activities and document some of it. A tour of your home studio, a day in the life, some snippets of what you're working on, a raw 10-minute clip from a studio session – that's exactly what they're after. Think raw, authentic, unpolished material that doesn't fit on Instagram or TikTok. Unreleased demos you've already recorded but aren't ready for official release are perfect – fans love hearing the music, even if it's unfinished.
In practice this rarely happens, and the reason is simple. The people who join your community aren't just buying content, they're choosing to support you. For a lot of fans it's not a transactional relationship at all. They want to be closer to you and your music, and they genuinely want to support you and see you succeed.
Most communities are ready to go live within a few weeks of approval. Our team handles the full setup – platform configuration, branding, launch strategy, and onboarding – so you can focus on your music.
Backstaged works on web and mobile. For large artists we develop a custom app for your community on the App Store and Google Play, but for regular-sized artists we use our web platform. Your community can be customized to look and feel like your own custom app without our branding getting in the way.
Yes. For major artists who want something built entirely to their spec, we offer fully custom community platform development, essentially acting as your in-house dev team. You tell us exactly what you want, and we build it from the ground up: custom design, custom features, your branding throughout. If you're at that level and want to talk about it, reach out directly.
Yes – fill out the contact form and we'll send you a link to a demo community you can explore at your own pace.
You maintain 100% ownership of your community and fan data. You can export your full member list and all collected data at any time, and our platform integrates directly with artist-owned CRMs so your fan relationships always stay under your control.
We only take a 10% platform fee on revenue generated on our platform. Stripe, our payment provider, also charges their standard payment processing and currency conversion fees on top of that. There are no monthly fees, no setup costs, no hidden charges – you only pay when you make money.
Yes. There are no binding commitments or long-term contracts. You can close your community at any time.
