Q: Revenue split feature
Do you offer revenue-sharing features between co-authors or contributors?
1. If Yes:
• Is the revenue split based on a percentage model, similar to platforms like Udemy, ThriveCart, or Uteach?
• Can the revenue split be customized for different types of customers (e.g., one-time purchases vs. subscription-based)?
2. If No:
• When do you plan to release this feature?
• Will the revenue-sharing model consider both one-time and subscription-based customers? For example:
• For one-time purchases (e.g., audiobooks), I want a simple 50-50% split.
• For subscription-based customers, I would prefer a model where authors are paid based on how much of their content (audio or video) is consumed by subscribers. This is similar to platforms like Skillshare or YouTube, which incentivize creators to produce engaging content.

Jan 16, 2025A: 1. Do You Offer Revenue-Sharing Features Between Co-Authors or Contributors?
Yes, Disctopia supports revenue-sharing features with some limitations:
Percentage-Based Revenue Split: This feature is available for one-time purchases (e.g., merch, certain digital products) but not yet for audiobooks.
Customization: Revenue splits can be customized for one-time purchases, allowing you to set specific percentages for contributors.
2. One-Time Purchases vs. Subscription-Based Revenue Sharing
One-Time Purchases: Revenue splits can be set up as a percentage-based model (e.g., 50-50 or customized).
Subscription-Based Revenue Sharing: Creators are paid based on content consumption. For example:
Subscribers pay Disctopia for access.
The platform allocates revenue proportionally based on how much of each creator’s content (audio or video) is consumed, incentivizing engaging content.
3. Limitations and Future Features
Audiobooks: Revenue sharing for audiobooks is currently limited due to the predominant single-author model. However, adding this feature for co-authored audiobooks is in the works.
Planned Improvements: While there’s no set timeline for advanced co-author revenue-sharing features (e.g., for both one-time and subscription models), feedback like yours is shaping our roadmap.
