How scouts get paid

Find an act. It gets booked. You earn a share of our fee every time it works — plus a bonus the first time it proves out. Here's the whole model on one page.

Your cut comes out of the agency's commission — never the performer's pay. (On this booking Scoutlink keeps $102. The act keeps 100% of their $3,000.)

Your rate climbs from 15% to 25%

Your tier · 15–20%
Volume +5
Loyalty +2
Your tier — 15 / 17.5 / 20%. Scout → Verified → Senior. New scouts start at 15%.
Volume kicker — up to +5 points. +1 / +2 / +3 / +5 at 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 acts booked in the last year.
Loyalty top-up — up to +2 points. +1 after an act works a year, +2 after ~4 years.

Senior stacks to 20 + volume 5 + loyalty 2, capped at 25% of our fee — so the company always keeps at least 75%.

The first-win bonus
$100+

A one-time bonus on every act

Paid the moment an act proves out — its second booking, with a different buyer. At least $100 per act, on top of every trailing share. Funded from marketing budget, not your commission.

Why it's an easy yes

Yours for lifeEvery act you submit stays credited to you.
✍️
Never an agentNo contracts, no handling money, no chasing bookings.
📈

Rule of thumb: ~$18 per typical booking, paid every time. Twenty steady acts booked three times a year ≈ $1,400+ a year — plus $100+ each time a new act activates. It compounds as your roster and rate grow.

Illustration, not a promise of income — scouts earn only on real bookings. Payouts batch and go out once you're owed $50+.
