The Pre-Launch Revenue Plan

Map the financial goals of your next release.

Over 3 days, you will build a mini-business plan for your next single release, focusing on activating revenue streams before and during launch week.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Map Release Revenue. List three specific revenue streams for your next release (e.g., streaming, Bandcamp sales, limited T-shirt). Set a realistic but ambitious financial target for each stream.
  2. Day 2Craft an AI-Powered Pitch. Using an AI writing assistant, draft a 150-word playlist pitch for your song. Feed the AI your artist bio, the song's key emotional themes, and 2-3 target playlists. Refine the output to make the emotional argument compelling.
  3. Day 3Design An Emotional Hook. Plan one piece of pre-release social media content (a short video, a text post) that reveals the core feeling of the song without giving it all away. The goal is to create curiosity and emotional buy-in before anyone has heard a single note.
