The Minimum Viable Launch

Outline a revenue-focused release plan for your next single.

This 3-day planning sprint helps you design the key financial and strategic components of your next release, ensuring you are positioned for maximum return.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Map a 21-day timeline for your next release. Set hard dates for distribution upload, your DSP pitch submission, and three key social media content moments.
  2. Day 2Define your "Release Day Offer." This is a product beyond the stream. Examples: a limited run of 50 t-shirts, a digital fanzine, or a pay-what-you-want Bandcamp download. Price it and write the announcement copy.
  3. Day 3Write your DSP pitch using the EyE WiLL template. Clearly state the song's genre, mood, and key instrumentation. Crucially, suggest 2-3 specific official playlists where your song would be a perfect fit and explain why.
