The Fan Data Rider Sprint

Define your terms for the asset that matters most: your audience.

In this 2-day sprint, you will create a 'Fan Relationship Rider'—a clear, one-page document outlining your non-negotiable terms regarding fan data, social media, and community ownership. This rider serves as a powerful negotiating tool to present alongside any deal memo.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1List the three most important channels you use for direct, personal connection with your fans (e.g., Discord, Instagram DMs, email newsletter). Draft a clause stating you retain sole ownership and administrative control of these channels and all associated data.
  2. Day 2Paste your Day 1 clause into an AI chatbot. Prompt it: 'Act as a skeptical label lawyer and provide three counterarguments or points of negotiation against this clause.' Refine your rider to be both firm in its intent and professional in its language.
