Kevin Kelly's idea in 1,000 True Fans is simple but powerful: you don't need to go viral to make a living. A small group of dedicated listeners can support your career — through memberships, album sales, livestreams, and more.
Sleeve helps you turn that idea into income. This calculator shows how much you could earn through monthly fan memberships alone. Add in revenue from other features like album sales and livestreams, and the potential grows.
