JULY 16Street Life · Feady Crocka — The 10-Year Release

Stop guessing at the business. Run it on purpose.

Run the Business, Don’t Wing It

Ten chapters that turn "artist who hopes" into "owner who plans" — concrete moves, not theory.

1 · The Download Gate

How to set up a gate so the free download costs the fan one small thing back — a follow, a save, an email — instead of nothing at all.

2 · Smart Links That Convert

Build one smart link that sends listeners to the right place on every platform, and read what it tells you about where your fans actually come from.

3 · Pre-Saves Before Release Day

Set up a pre-save campaign so day-one streams and follows land the moment your track goes live — instead of hoping people remember.

4 · The Free-to-Follower Funnel

The full path, mapped: freebie → gate → follow → email → next release. Where each piece plugs in and why the order matters.

5 · What to Give Away

Picking the right giveaway — a loosie, a beat pack, a stem, an unreleased cut — so it pulls the fans you want without cannibalizing your paid drops.

6 · Growing Your Spotify Followers

Why followers — not just streams — are the number that compounds, and how the gate feeds them release after release.

7 · Building the Email List

Capturing emails alongside follows so you own the line to your fans and aren’t renting it from an algorithm.

8 · The Repeatable Playbook

Turn the whole thing into a routine you run on every single — so each release compounds on the last instead of starting from zero.

Who it’s for: Independent artists who are tired of winging the business side and want a clear, run-it-yourself system for the money, the structure, and the plan.

The Bottom Line

You’re already doing the work. This is how you run it like a business. The money map, the numbers, the structure, the campaign, and a 90-day plan — so your music career stops being a series of hopes and starts being a plan you execute.
