⏳ "The 4-week release strategy" prompt

Good day,

how are you today?

Chris from the AI Musicpreneur here.

These days I don’t get to pick up the guitar much.

But whenever I do? It takes me back and I relive the memories of playing in a small LA club on Sunset Boulevard, shooting a music video or spending time with my former bandmates.

Though we don't see each other often anymore, except for my brother who played the drums, I treasure every second we have together, reminiscing about our shared passion for music.

Now, let’s cut to the chase.

If you want to:

→ Maximize exposure and engagement for your song release

→ Keep fans interested throughout the release cycle

→ Address your target audience's specific pain points

→ Reduce guesswork and stress in post-launch promotion

…I wrote this edition for you.

Imagine releasing your song and watching it get lost among the 120,000 new tracks on Spotify every day.

It's like being a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is the size of a mountain.

But what if I told you there's a way to make your needle shine brighter than the rest?

That's where the "4-week release strategy" prompt comes in.

Let’s dive in.

It's an exhilarating yet nerve-wracking experience to release a song into the world.

As an artist, you take pride in every piece of work you put out there.
