Release Ready — What You Get

Release Ready — The Independent Artist Rollout Kit

You finished the track. This is everything after that.

The paperwork, timeline, and pitches for releasing your own music — as fill-in templates, not theory. Built for independent SoundCloud artists releasing through a distributor, on a real-world budget: zero, or close to it.

Most independent releases don't fail on the song. They fail on the unglamorous parts: a credit decided in a panic mid-upload, artwork that gets rejected, pitches sent after the window closed, a follow-up nobody remembered to send, a release day spent composing posts instead of answering the people who showed up. Release Ready is the whole job, written down in the order you do it.

What you get — the 7 kit documents

  1. Start Here — who the kit is for, how the files fit together, and what a realistic release actually looks like.
  2. The Master Pre-Release Checklist — every decision to lock before upload: metadata, artwork specs, distributor settings, rights and credits (including the splits and samples conversations people skip and regret), an honest budget table with a $0 route for every line, and the links to prepare.
  3. The 30-Day Rollout Calendar — one concrete action a day: upload and pre-save window, release week, and the two weeks after that most artists waste.
  4. Promo Templates — the one-page press kit that feeds every pitch, plus copy-paste scripts: radio/curator submission, playlist pitch, collaboration DM, blog email, and the follow-up message (one per pitch, ever).
  5. The 14-Day Social Content Plan — short-form prompts and caption templates built on proof, not promises — the "Submitted → On Air" sequence, hook clips, cover reveal, week-one wrap.
  6. The Release Day Runbook — hour by hour: what to post, pin, check, and reply to, plus the first-week response playbook for comments, placements, and problems.
  7. The Metrics & Submissions Tracker — weekly numbers and a submissions log that starts with two free outlets, and an honest guide to reading your own stats without lying to yourself.

Delivered as a branded PDF (the reading copy) plus editable documents you duplicate per release — the second release starts from your first release's notes, not from zero.

How delivery works

This is a digital product — no shipping. After checkout, your kit is delivered by download/email: the branded PDF plus the 7 editable files. Price: $19 one-time. No subscription, no upsell waiting behind it.

Who it's for

  • Independent artists releasing their own music on SoundCloud and through a distributor (DistroKid or similar).
  • First, second, or third release — you're still doing every job yourself.
  • Artists whose promotion budget is zero or near it, and who'd rather have a system than a pep talk.

Who it's NOT for

  • Artists on a label or with a team — your process already exists.
  • Anyone looking for guaranteed playlist adds, radio play, streams, or income. This kit contains none of those promises and no schemes to fake them.
  • Anyone who wants promotion done for them. This is a do-it-yourself kit.

Refunds

If the kit isn't useful to you, email within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions and no form to fill in.
