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

Script It

The camera shows up; the idea has to be there first. This is how to write the one-page treatment, the short-form hook that stops the scroll, and the shot direction that makes your visuals actually get watched.

Write the Visual Before You Shoot It

A working writer’s system for treatments, short-form hooks, and shot direction — built to get watched and shared.

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: Artists and creators who want their visuals to land — and want to walk into a shoot (or their own phone) with a script instead of a vibe.

The Bottom Line

A video with no idea is just expensive footage. This is how you write the idea first. The treatment, the short-form hook, the shot direction, and a fill-in template — so what you shoot actually gets watched and shared.
