§ 01, THE FAN JOURNEY
Watch one listener become a fan for life.
This is one fan, Maya, traced over years, not one release over a day. Every step is a real way she supports you, and every step happens on something you own. On streaming she is an unreachable number paid fractions of a cent. Here, each move is yours to keep.

§ 02, THE LIST IS YOURS
On streaming, every fan is a number you cannot reach. Here, every fan is a contact you own.
One record per fan, with their whole history: what they bought, which shows they came to, where they live, the last time they opened an email. Filter it into segments and reach them by email or SMS, any time, with no algorithm in the way.
The list is yours. When you leave, it leaves with you.

§ 03, THE ENGINE
The fan relationship runs itself.
Every module talks to every other, so the work of turning listeners into lifelong fans happens on its own. You draw each flow once. It runs on every fan after that, through your store, your list, your memberships and your shows.
RECIPE 01 · COMMENT → DM → LISTa fan comments PRESAVE on your reel↓the engine DMs them the smart link↓they join your owned list, tagged by the song
RECIPE 02 · TIER JOINED → WELCOMEa fan upgrades to the fan club↓a welcome message and perks send at once↓their member area unlocks on your site
RECIPE 03 · LAPSED → WIN-BACKa member goes quiet for 90 days↓they get a win-back with an unreleased demo↓the renewal lands straight in your bank account

RECIPE 06 · PURCHASE → REVIEWan order ships from your own store↓five days later a review request goes out↓the review shows off on your page
Draw it once. It runs forever, on every fan you own.
§ 04, A QUIET ASSISTANT
A quiet assistant, on only if you want it.
Mira is an optional helper, off until you switch it on. It looks at your own numbers, and when something stands out it can draft a suggestion for you. It never messages a fan, posts, or spends a cent on its own. You read the draft, change it or bin it, and nothing happens unless you say so. Turn it off any time.
SUGGESTION · BERLIN IS LISTENINGYour Berlin streams jumped this week↓Mira drafts a presale for a Berlin date, for you to look at↓if you like it, you approve, and it goes live
SUGGESTION · QUIET DAY-ONE FANSA few day-one fans have gone quiet↓Mira drafts a note with an unreleased demo↓read it, tweak it, and only you send it
It only ever drafts. You decide. Nothing reaches a fan unless you send it.
It suggests→You decide→You send
It suggests. You decide. And you can switch it off entirely.
§ 05, BEYOND FANS
Your fans are the spine. The rest of the business rides along.
Owning your fans is the heart of it, but a working musician runs a lot more than a fanbase. All of it lives on the same platform you already own.
Session & sync deals
Bill session work, features and licensing with invoices and e-signed contracts, paid straight to your bank account.
A band podcast
Host a behind-the-record show on your own site and push it to every podcast app.
Teach what you know
Sell masterclasses and lessons as courses, or take paid coaching bookings.
Your own fan app
Turn your site into a branded app your superfans keep on their phone.
Run it from any AI
Connect over MCP and let your assistant post, price and publish for you.
And this only scratches the surface.
§ 06, BUILD YOUR OWN
Need something we don't have? Build it.
TribeNest runs the whole business, but every artist has a one-off idea. Build it as a real tool that lives on your own site, with your own fans and your own money. Describe what you want in plain words, or hand it to a developer. Either way it ships as yours, no cut, no lock-in.
Stems & sample store
License your stems and samples on your own terms, delivered the moment someone pays.
Remix contest
Take submissions, let your fans vote, crown a winner, all on your own page.
Vinyl pre-order waitlist
Cap the run, take deposits, and notify the list the minute it drops.
House-show RSVP
Private address, a capacity limit, and a guest list only you control.
Setlist requests
Fans request songs for the next show, and you see what the room wants most.
Split-sheet tracker
Log writer and producer splits per song, ready for when the royalties land.
Your tools, on your account. Not ours to meter or take back.
§ 07, WHAT YOU OWN
It is all yours.
Streaming and marketplaces rent you an audience and keep the relationship. On TribeNest, every part of it belongs to you, and leaves with you.
Your domain
Your site is yours. Every fan lands on it, not on a marketplace.
Your fan list
Every email and phone number is yours to keep, and yours to export.
Your money
Every sale is paid straight to your own bank account, no cut taken.
0% commission
On every sale, every plan, forever. You keep all of it.
Leave whole
Export your fans, catalog and data anytime. No lock-in, no penalty.
§ 08, IN THE WILD
Moses Joshua owns his buyers now. It took 45 minutes.
Moses Joshua is a music producer. He sold his packs on a marketplace that took a cut of every sale and kept his buyers. He had no list, no data, and no way to reach the people who paid him.

He keeps 100% of every sale
Every buyer joins a list he owns

His fans come straight to him, not an algorithm

§ 10, QUESTIONS
Common questions.
What touring and recording artists want to know before moving their direct-to-fan economy onto TribeNest.
Should I take my music off Spotify and Apple Music?
No. Keep streaming for discovery, where it's strongest. TribeNest is the ownership layer streaming can't be: it turns the listeners streaming rents you into fans you own. Most artists run TribeNest alongside DistroKid or TuneCore, so streaming brings new listeners in and TribeNest keeps them for life.
Can I sell vinyl, CDs, and cassettes alongside digital?
Yes. Sell physical formats with shipping you handle yourself, or use the Printful integration for print-on-demand merch and apparel. Digital downloads (FLAC, WAV, MP3) are delivered automatically after purchase. Pre-order workflows and download codes for backers are supported.
How do tour tickets and check-in work at the door?
Sell tickets directly from your site with VIP tiers, GA tiers, capacity limits, and automated reminder emails. Each ticket gets a QR code. Check-in is via the TribeNest mobile app or your phone's camera. No per-ticket commission, ever.
Will my Patreon members move over without losing access?
Yes. Export your Patreon member list as CSV (Patreon supports this), import to a TribeNest membership tier, and migrate gated content. Members keep their billing date if you preserve it. Our team will help you mirror your tier structure and benefits during onboarding.
Can I run a fan club with private chat, like Discord but on my domain?
Yes. Memberships include private chat channels with tier-gated access, comment threads on posts, and direct messages from members. Channels are organized by tier, so $5 Bronze members and $50 Founders members see different things.
How much of the fan journey really runs on its own?
As much as you want. The presave DM, the welcome for new members, the segmented show blast, order receipts, the review request, the show reminder and the win-back all run as automation flows you set up once. Starter runs 3 active flows, Pro and Business run unlimited. You draw each flow once, and it runs on every fan after that.
What happens to everything if I cancel?
It all leaves with you. Export your full fan list, customer data, and analytics as CSV anytime. Your domain stays yours. Your content downloads in full. There's no lock-in and no penalty for leaving. We'd rather earn your stay.
How long does it take to move over?
Most artists are up and running in an afternoon. We helped producer Moses Joshua move his entire business to his own domain in 45 minutes. Bring your catalog, your merch, and your Patreon member list (export as CSV), and our team will help you mirror your tiers and benefits during onboarding.
§ 11, GET STARTED
Own your fans. Keep them for life.
Build the site, store, fan list, membership and ticketing booth you should have owned ten years ago, then wire them together so the relationship runs itself. From $49 a month, 0% commission, every fan yours.
