FUNCTIONS OF THE PLATFORM
Waitlist:
Think of it as your release's VIP list. Fans eager to be the first to access your new music can sign up in advance. Once your release is ready, everyone on the waitlist receives an automated notification email. Ideally, initiate the waitlist at least 72 hours before your release goes live on EVEN.
The process is straightforward and automated, beginning to gather fan data as soon as they sign up.
Pricing Models:
EVEN is renowned for its flexible pricing models, including the fan-favorite 'pay-what-you-want' option.
Pay What You Want: Set a minimum price, but allow fans to pay more if they wish.
Minimum Price: The baseline amount a fan must pay to access your project.
Fixed Price: A single, unchangeable price for your release.
Suggested Price: The default price shown at checkout. Fans can pay more or less than this, but not below the minimum price. This model encourages generosity among your fans.
Security and Exclusivity: Rest assured, there has never been a leak on EVEN. All releases are securely protected and encrypted. Additionally, the paywall ensures that only paying fans get access.

Let's explore the functionalities associated with each option in managing your project on the EVEN platform:
Delete Your Project:
This option is applicable for releases that are still in the pending stage or within the drafts only, providing artists with the flexibility to reconsider or make significant changes before finalizing the release. You cannot edit live releases.
Edit Release Information:
Artists have the ability to update various aspects of their release information. This includes the option to refresh the visual representation of the release by changing the cover image, updating the description to provide additional context, and modifying other relevant information.
This feature enables artists to keep their audience informed and engaged by ensuring that the release details accurately reflect the artistic intent or any changes in the project.
Revenue Splits:
Revenue splits are a crucial aspect of collaborative projects, allowing multiple contributors to share in the financial success of the release. The platform supports the addition of new revenue splits, enabling artists to fairly distribute earnings among collaborators.
However, it's important to note that the ability to remove existing splits is not available directly through the platform. For adjustments to revenue splits, artists can reach out to Artists@Even.Biz for further assistance, ensuring that any changes align with the agreements among collaborators.
