ARTIST QUESTIONS
A vinyl is the object people keep. Press a small run, number it, and sell it first to the people who already listen to you.
Size the run
Start small: a few dozen to a few hundred copies. Every copy sold before the pressing arrives reduces your risk.
Real examples on HYK

Set your shipping
Create your shipping method before you publish: the countries you deliver to, your rate and a price for each extra item. The buyer pays shipping on top of your price.
What you keep
On HYK, 100% of your price. The buyer pays a 10% service fee and the payment fees on top.
Next step: Publish your vinyl on HYK at app.hyk.media. Then read the Physical Drops guide.
