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.

Release Ready is the whole release job, written down in the order you do it — checklists, a day-by-day calendar, copy-paste pitch templates, a content plan, a release-day runbook, and a tracker that shows you which of your actions actually produced listeners. Built inside KEEPITIL, a platform that works with independent SoundCloud artists every day. No hype, no bought placements, no promises nobody can keep.

What's inside

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, 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
5. The 14-Day Social Content Plan — short-form prompts and caption templates built on proof, not promises
6. The Release Day Runbook — hour by hour: what to post, pin, check, and reply to, plus the first-week response playbook
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

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

How delivery works

Digital product — no shipping. After checkout, the kit is delivered by download/email: the branded PDF reading copy plus the 7 editable files. $19 one-time. No subscription.

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

Who it's NOT for

• Artists on a label or with a team
• Anyone looking for guaranteed playlist adds, radio play, streams, or income — this kit contains none of those promises
• Anyone who wants promotion done for them — this is a do-it-yourself kit

Two honest disclosures

• The submissions tracker inside the kit lists KEEPITIL Radio and KEEPITIL Playlists as its first two rows — free outlets run by the same platform that publishes this kit. Every other template and tool works whether or not you ever submit to KEEPITIL.
• The kit's templates include the FTC disclosure line to use whenever you post a link that could earn you a commission or reward.

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.
