The promoter absorbs all the risk. The DJ has zero incentive to promote. We built something different. + +## How the commission model works + +Every DJ on a SLIST lineup gets a personalized promo code or link. Fans get 10-20% off tickets using that code. The DJ earns 33% commission on every sale through their link. If their commission exceeds a guaranteed minimum, they get the higher amount. If it falls short, we pay the difference. + +The structure means nobody plays for free against their will, and nobody caps their earnings either. A DJ who hustles can make significantly more than a flat fee. A DJ who does not promote still gets their guaranteed minimum. The risk is shared, not dumped on one side. + +## The tiers + +We evolved a three-tier system over roughly 12 events, starting from zero budget. + +Open decks and newcomers get no cash fee. They receive drink tickets, guest list spots, and a promo code with commission. Regulars and reliable DJs get a $50-100 minimum guaranteed, 33% commission on personal sales, and sometimes printed flyers with personal QR codes. Headliners and special bookings get $100-plus minimums, negotiated set times, sometimes travel costs, and the same commission structure stacked on top. + +## The physical flyer system +Diff truncated (46 lines total).
