How do I earn from investing in an artist?
There are two ways. Holding an artist’s shares pays you weekly royalty payouts tied to the royalties that artist generates on Tone. And if you sell your shares for more than you paid, you keep the difference. The more the artists you back succeed, the more you can earn.
What determines the price of an artist’s share?
Prices are set by supply and demand in a free market, just like a traditional stock market. Because each share carries royalty rights, it becomes more valuable as the artist grows.
