The Publishing Asset Audit

Build the administrative foundation for your long-term royalties.

This 5-day challenge walks you through the essential steps of turning your songs into well-managed, revenue-generating assets for the long haul.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Create a master spreadsheet of your entire catalog (released and unreleased). Add columns for ISRC, ISWC, PRO registration status, and split percentages.
  2. Day 2Select your top 3 songs. For each, perform an 'Emotional Resonance Audit.' Write one sentence describing the core feeling. This is your primary sync pitching angle.
  3. Day 3Using an AI assistant, draft a professional metadata template that includes instrumentation, mood keywords, BPM, and lyrical themes for one of your songs.
  4. Day 4Research and identify one Publishing Administrator that aligns with your three-year career goals. Note their services and fee structure.
  5. Day 5Draft a one-paragraph 'Catalog Overview' pitch, summarizing the size, scope, and emotional character of your work for potential sync agents or music supervisors.
