Earning Revenue
Daily payouts are driven by song quality and buzz within each genre pool.
How payouts work
- Timing: Revenue rolls daily (server time). Check the music page for the current roll window.
- Pools: Each genre has a revenue pool split among songs in that genre.
- Share: Your share is based on quality × buzz relative to others in the genre.
Improve your share
- Raise quality: practice music skills; choose better studio/production.
- Boost buzz: perform gigs (20 Energy) and time them before rollup.
- Genre selection: compete in genres where you can rank well; diversify if pools differ.
Monitoring
- Check song list for buzz and quality values.
- Track revenue after each roll to see if your gig cadence is enough.
- Adjust genre focus if competing against stronger catalogs.
