The 5-Day Bespoke Craft Pricing Audit

Rebuild your custom songwriting and production rate card around emotional value and digital leverage.

Step out of the hourly-rate trap. Over five days, restructure your songwriting commission tiers, benchmark your emotional hook power, and leverage AI to double your production margin.

The plan, day by day

1. Day 1Catalog your past three custom songwriting or production projects. Calculate the actual hourly rate earned versus the long-term rights surrendered.
2. Day 2Use an AI prompt matrix from AI for Musicians to generate three alternative lyrical concepts and rhythmic outlines for a hypothetical commercial brief in under thirty minutes.
3. Day 3Run an emotional resonance gut-check on your strongest bespoke demo: isolate the chorus lyric and melodic climax to ensure it triggers an unambiguous emotional shift within eight bars.
4. Day 4Draft a three-tier pricing model for your custom work: Personal Non-Exclusive, Commercial Indie, and Full Master Buyout, setting the bottom tier at least 50 percent higher than your current baseline.
5. Day 5Publish your updated rate card and commission terms to your private booking form, anchoring value with verified client testimonials and clear licensing boundaries.
