Read this first. It will save you years.
If you’re here it’s because something about your music career isn’t adding up.
You’re releasing music. You’re promoting it. You’re putting in the work. But the money doesn’t reflect the effort. The ownership isn’t clear. The contracts are confusing. And nobody around you seems to have real answers — just opinions.
That ends here.
This community exists for one reason: to give independent artists the business infrastructure that the industry was never designed to hand you. Royalty collection systems. Publishing registration. Contract literacy. Digital product strategy. Merch that builds a brand instead of just a product.
Everything in here is built around one principle — you should own your music, collect every dollar it generates, and build revenue streams that nobody can take from you.
HERE’S WHERE TO START:
Step 1 — Go to the Classroom tab right now.
Download the Revenue Stack Scorecard from the Free Starter Vault. Score yourself on all 8 revenue streams. Be honest. Post your score below in the comments with the hashtag #DayOneScore. That number is your starting point. We’re going to move it.
Step 2 — Download the Split Sheet Template.
Go to Lesson 3 in the Free Starter Vault. Download it. Think of the last song you released. Do you have a signed split sheet for it? If not — that is your first action item. Complete it within 48 hours.
Step 3 — Introduce yourself.
Drop a comment below with:
∙ Your artist name
∙ Where you’re based
∙ How many songs you’ve released
∙ Your biggest music business question right now
That last one matters most. Your question tells me exactly what to cover next inside the community. Every course, every call, every resource in here started with a question someone just like you asked.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES — THREE RULES:
Rule 1 — Execute publicly.
Share your homework completions, your registrations, your wins, and your questions in the community. The artists who post their progress publicly move faster than the artists who lurk. Accountability is a feature — use it.
Rule 2 — No promotion without contribution.
You cannot drop your music links, your SoundCloud, your YouTube, or your Gumroad in this community without first contributing real value to a conversation. One post of substance earns you one promotional mention. That is the rule.
Rule 3 — Respect the process.
Nobody here is further ahead than everyone else. We are all building. The artist with 500 followers has insight the artist with 50,000 followers needs. Treat every member’s question as worth answering and every member’s win as worth celebrating.
