Which events can be added to the Knob Events page?
Any events that have Knob Records or the Knob logo on the flyer. Please send high quality
flyer images and we will help promote the event on the Events page.
When do sales start coming in?
We've found it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months from the release date before any sales
come in. New artists sometime take longer. Stores pay the distributor who then pays Knob.
Each store has their own payment schedule. They pay monthly, quarterly, or various times.
How are royalty payments sent?
Knob uses Paypal to send payments to countries outside the US. Paypal charges an exchange
rate fee. Those within the US can use Paypal as well or receive a mailed check.
When can I expect my first royalty statement?
Please remember it takes time for digital sales to accumulate and depends on the success of
the release. For most artists, especially new ones, it takes atleast a year.
