How do you split royalties from ad revenue and support with your collaborators?

Hey everyone,

I've been a novelist on Tapas for some time now, but I'm in talks with a couple colleagues wanting to work on a comic together.

On my dashboard, I can see how much ad revenue and support I've made, however, I don't see which titles bring in what. On Amazon for example, I can see how many books have sold for one title and how much I've made. With my Tapas dashboard, I am seeing a lump sum of Ad revenue and with support, readers could be donating to any title.

My question for you is, if you're sharing royalties with a creator and have multiple titles, how do you know how much to give your collaborator? Or is there another work around?

At the moment, the only solution I can see is making a different account for comics these artists and I work on.

Thank you so much for your time!

I do that a lot and work with many.
Ad revenue is made for your entire profile as a whole and you can’t see where it came from. I see this as my revue for hosting and doing the promotion.

But support ink will always tell you where it came from depending on what series they are reading when they hit the support button. Unless they hit the support button from your main profile site.

It can be a mess and if someone read a series and later just supports you randomly it may hit the wrong series.

Alternatively, you make a new profile specifically to that series that you want to share with your co-creator.
