Music discovery and  
social platform [OurStage.com](http://ourstage.com/?ref=hypebot.com) has announced OurStage Pro, a new  
membership service that **pays artists for song spins through a rather unique**  
**revenue sharing program.** Pro allows artists to get paid when fans listen to their music on [OurStage.com](http://ourstage.com/?ref=hypebot.com),  
on their own site, or on social media. For $2 dollars per month, artists become  
OurStage Pro members and begin promoting their music on the website and through  
an embeddable player provided by the company to monetize their work.

  
Whenever fans listen to the artist's songs on [OurStage.com](http://ourstage.com/?ref=hypebot.com) or  
via their remote player, any song that gets played at least 90% of the way  
through counts toward the artist’s overall stream count. Any artist registered  
for OurStage Pro is also eligible for licensing opportunities, and fans of Pro  
members can help fund those artists with a direct donation tool

Every month, a Pro artists’  
qualified spin counts are compared to each other, and there is a tiered group  
payout based on which artists have the most spins. The company says that the  
number of spins needed to land in the four different tiers will change from  
month to month, depending on how many total spins there are for all registered  
OurStage Pro artists. The money for the payout comes from a pool that  
includes Pro registrants’ monthly fees, so in essence, the more artists that  
are signed up for OurStage Pro, the bigger the monthly payouts for artists.

“By getting people to  
listen to their songs, OurStage Pro artists have the ability to get paid,” says  
Jeff Kushmerek, EVP of Product. “And the more artists that sign up for  
OurStage Pro, the bigger the potential payouts can be.”
