🎯 More than a tip jar

It's Not a Tip Jar. It's a Fan Funnel.

Most musicians lose 99% of their audience the moment the show ends. TipTree captures every fan, nurtures every relationship, and turns $10 tips into $2,600 private parties. Here's how.

OPPORTUNITY

The Musician's Biggest Mistake

You play a killer show. Fifty people clap. Maybe five tip you. And then... they all walk out the door. Gone forever.

You have no names. No emails. No way to tell them about your next gig, your new album, or your availability for private events.

That's not a tip jar problem. That's a business problem.

Venmo and CashApp? They just move money. They don't capture a single piece of information about the person who just told you — with their wallet — that they love what you do.

TipTree is different. Every interaction becomes a relationship. Every tip becomes a lead. Every fan becomes reachable.

One QR code. Seven opportunities to grow your music career.

The song request is more valuable than the tip. That email address lets you reach them forever.

2 The Magic Moment

The Song Request IS the First Tip

Here's what most musicians don't realize: the request is more valuable than the tip.

When a fan requests a song, they give you:

  • Their name
  • Their email address
  • Their phone number (optional but most do)
  • Their location (captured automatically)
💡 Key Insight Even fans who request a song but tip $0 are valuable. You got their contact info. They're in your funnel. The money comes later.
📧
1 Email
Worth more than a $5 tip.
It lets you reach them forever.
4 The Upsell

Their Card Is Already Out. Use It.

This is the moment most musicians completely waste.

A fan just tipped you. They're feeling good. Their credit card is literally in their hand. And on every other platform... the transaction just ends. Thanks, bye.

Not on TipTree.

Immediately after the tip, we show your fan a special offer:

  • Download your latest single or album
  • Grab a t-shirt or signed merch
  • Get early access to your next show
  • Exclusive content only for supporters
🛒
$10 → $25
One tap. Same transaction.
Zero extra effort from you.
"

A tip is a transaction. An email list is a relationship. Relationships pay better.

6 Where Careers Are Built

The Fortune Is in the Follow-Up

Here's the truth about the music business: one-time transactions don't build careers. Relationships do.

Every fan who tips you, requests a song, or buys your merch goes into your TipTree contact list — with their name, email, phone, location, and purchase history.

Now you can:

  • Email them when you release new music
  • Text them when you're playing nearby
  • Invite them to exclusive events
  • Let them know you're available for private parties
