The Revenue Portfolio Sketch

Map your future as a diversified creative entrepreneur in three days.

This high-level strategic challenge prompts you to design a multi-stream business model for your career, moving beyond music to build a resilient financial future.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1On a single sheet, list all your current revenue streams (even if $0). Now, brainstorm five potential new streams based on your skills: mixing for others, creating sample packs, offering songwriting feedback, custom merch, a paid fan club.
  2. Day 2Design your "Product Ladder." Define one product at each price point: Free (e.g., email list freebie), Low-Cost (e.g., $1 digital download, $25 t-shirt), Mid-Tier (e.g., $150 vinyl box set), and High-Ticket (e.g., $500+ for a personalized song or a workshop).
  3. Day 3Using the template from the Artist Business Plan academy, write a one-page Executive Summary. Include your mission statement, your target 'superfan' profile, your core products (from Day 2), and one key financial goal for the next 12 months.
