What’s Metalabel?
The Creator Economy is creativity in single-player mode: every creator competing against everyone else for followers and attention.
Metalabel is creativity in multiplayer mode: groups of people pooling skills, audiences, and resources in support of a larger creative vision.
How Metalabel works
A label is how creators who share the same interests can release work, collaborate, and support each other. Metalabel expands the idea of the label to all forms of creative expression.
1.
Creators come together
A group of people start a label to drop work together around their shared creative vision.
2.
Drop work
Creators collaborate or take turns releasing work in any medium or format that reflects their purpose.
3.
Sell work
Releases can sell physical work, digital work, in-person access, or be free.
4.
Share proceeds
Money gets split between creators and the label treasury according to transparent terms.
5.
Make new work
Funds and resources go into new releases that expand the group’s footprint in the wider world.
