Flattr, a unique micropayments system that rewards musicians and other creators, has expanded its offering to include direct fan-to-creator payments from within Soundcloud, Twitter, Instagram and other popular sites and services. Flatrr works on official, mobile and third party clients.

After sign-up and funding an account (small or large), [Flattr](http://flattr.com/?ref=hypebot.com) tracks fan activity across supported sites and divides the budget into equal parts based on the  
number of clicks (Likes, favorites and stars) throughout the month. The company says they'll be adding more soon, but as of today, Flattr can connect to:

**How Musicians Can Get Invloved**

To participate, artists need to sign up and connect their Twitter, Soundcloud and other accounts with Flattr. On the 10th of the following month, 90% of the money is sent to the  
creators based on activity.

Until artists sign up, flattrs given to them are [unclaimed](https://flattr.com/unclaimed?ref=hypebot.com) and  
not taken from a supporters "budget" until the month the artist signs up and claims their  
account. Here is a list of [unclaimed Flatrr funds via Soundcloud](https://flattr.com/catalog/unclaimed/soundcloud?ref=hypebot.com).

"With  
this expansion, supporting creators now becomes a natural part of being  
online," Martin Thörnkvist co-founder of Flatter told Hypebot. "Just as Kickstarter revolutionized the way we pay creators before  
something is created, we’ve now made it easy and natural to support and  
back someone after and because of what they’ve already created – right  
when it’s being consumed."

Micropayments, no matter how ubiquitous and easy to use, are unlikely to "save" the music industry or even fully support a single artist. But [Flattr](http://flattr.com/?ref=hypebot.com)'s approach is creative, and one can imagine it becoming a real revenue stream for those artists who are most actively sharing their music and the rest of their lives with fans.
