Independent Artist Release Resource
The Independent Artist Release Guide is your full 113 page blueprint for releasing music in 2025, built specifically for Aotearoa artists, but packed with universal tactics that work anywhere.
This isn’t another generic checklist. It’s everything I’ve seen work firsthand and everything I’ve watched artists miss by winging it. If you’ve ever uploaded a song and just hoped something would happen, this guide will help you understand why that strategy hasn't worked in the past and guide you to do all of the right things to improve your chances of success. It’s the real plan artists are using right now to build actual audiences and real careers in music.
Inside, you’ll get:
A step-by-step game plan from 8 weeks out to post-release
Tools, tactics, and timelines that actually work in 2025
TikTok & IG content strategy (with hooks that cut through)
Smart pre-save, link-in-bio & fan funnel setups
How to pitch to playlists and get paid properly (APRA, ISRC, OneMusic)
NZ-specific radio contacts, venues, and promo ideas
Burnout prevention tips that keep you in the game
Whether it’s your first single or your fifth album, this guide will help you do it right.

This is giving you all you need to know.....worth every penny......he probably could sell this for 100 Dollar and it's still worth for to invest. It's such a go giver move.... thanks for it.
