More and more established artists are discovering the freedom and profitability of the direct-to-fan model. This past year alone, Trent Resnor of Nine Inch Nails scored $1.6 million in his direct-to-fan offering. Dolly Parton saw more profit from her direct-to-fan release than she has ever made from any release or label in her career.

What is a VIP Artist?
Though all artists are highly valued at Nimbit, name recognition is the vehicle we use to categorize VIP artists. Any one of the following qualifies you as a VIP Artist at Nimbit:

• You have been signed by a larger independent label
• You have sold over 50,000 copies of one album
• You have a mailing list of 10,000 or more active fans
• You regularly perform for crowds of over 1,000 people

If you haven't yet achieved any of these feats but are on the cusp of doing so, Nimbit can help-- it's what we do! We are fully equipped to improve the quality and profitability of artists at any point in their careers.

Why Sell Direct-to-Fan?

It's Your Music . . .
and it should stay that way. With Nimbit, you keep all the rights to your music and have complete control of the product-- creatively and business-wise.

Nimbit gives you this autonomy, and provides you with the tools and guidance to make the entire process easy and lucrative.
It's Your Brand . . .
and it should get bigger. Selling directly to fans allows you to establish a relationship with them, creating a loyal and enduring fan base.
