New Program Reveals:
How to quit your job and replace your income with music...
And Get Paid by Your Fans to Make Music using the "Fan Attraction System"

From The Desk of Ryan Waczek
Owner & Founder of the Indie Music Academy
Nashville, TN

Dear Friend,

If you would like to finally learn what it takes to build a fanbase and sell products with your music brand, this will be the most important training you'll ever experience.

With streaming earning artists just pennies and CD sales being a thing of the past, we need to turn to a new way of building a fanbase and generating income.

That new way is what I call the "New Music Industry" and thankfully, there are only three requirements in order to succeed in the new music industry:

If you have:

  • An internet connection
  • A cell phone with a camera
  • And the ability to write an email to a friend

Then you already have all the skills you need to start building the fanbase of your dreams and growing online music revenue streams without having to rely on streaming, touring, or even getting a record deal.

What I want to do is turn your already existing skills into a strategy to attract fans and build a reliable monthly revenue stream so you can live the life that you want and build the music career that you always dreamed.

I'm going to hand over all the templates, workbooks, branding guides, funnels, and sales scripts that will get your music career up and running in just 3 months. 

Are you ready to learn how all this can be possible for you?

Keep reading and I'll show you my exact method to selling over 1 million dollars worth of products online (as regular guy who has is degree in classical music).

You'll find that achieving your music goals is closer than you think!

Attracted new fans in just 12 hours!

Exactly What You're Getting

First of all, this isn't like any training or music industry book that you've ever owned. Believe me, I've read all of them—from Donald Passman's All You Need to Know About the Music Business to Ari Herstand's How to Make It in the New Music Business—both are great reads, but this is not what I'm going to cover. 

Instead, you are going to get a no-fluff & no-filler, battle-tested roadmap to fans and income for your music career.

It is easy to understand at a glance.

But detailed enough to provide impact and clarity as to exactly what you need to do to build your music career correctly.

Each step of the roadmap includes video training, fill-in-the-blank templates, funnels, and other marketing timesavers that you can use to build your music career.

You might start at the beginning, or you might be someone who is already advanced and you'll start somewhere in the middle, but regardless of where you are right now, here's the journey I'll take you on:

(☝️ This is one of exact mind maps that I will be providing to bring clarity and structure to your music career.)

Is Music Income Really Possible?

You might be wondering if this is actually possible for you. And the short answer is yes it is 100% possible and I'm going to spend the rest of this page explaining exactly how I'm going to transform your music career from an expensive hobby to a revenue generating business.

Regardless of how many songs you have written, regardless of your formal music education... you can use this same system as a complete beginner or as a seasoned musician.

For example, I've written countless songs, attended a 4-year music college, became a recording engineer, and studied music production... and still didn't have consistent revenue and a business that worked for me (instead I was a slave to my music by always chasing the next "gig").

So this is not only for beginners. This is for any musician who is ready to add fans and profits to their music career.

And I'll be using a method that I personally invented that you won't find anywhere else.

I'm not going to teach you how to book more shows. I'm not going to tell you to "gig more" or "find investors" or even to "get signed"—all of these things make you a slave to your music.

I'm going to teach you how to reach musical freedom.

Like I said, this isn't like any training you've ever owned.

I really think you're going to love this!

"Ryan knows the secret to take all independent artists to the next level!" — Mike M.

 

You might be thinking, "You're right... that's a lot of practical and much-needed information that every independent musician needs right now!"

And you'd be right—that's exactly how I designed this.

But it gets even better.

This program will also teach you how to create consistent and predictable monthly revenue using your music.

How much money per month? 

Mileage will vary on how much effort you put in. But the method 100% works. Just take it from one of my students who put into practice everything taught in the Fan Attraction System:

"Ryan helped me get my first 500 email subscribers and then now those same fans earn me $500/mo of recurring revenue for my music. I didn't think it was possible but now I look at my sales analytics and I can't believe what I'm seeing—all from following the marketing principles Ryan teaches here inside the Fan Attraction System."
- Marcelo C.

I know some of you will think that this quote is fake.

But here is an actual audio clip from our conversation (used with permission) where he shares exactly how his fans are now purchasing products after discovering him as a complete stranger. Click to hear Marcelo in his own voice:

"Using your optimization techniques, she found my webpage, became a fan, bought a t-shirt, and wore it to my live concert!" — Marcelo C.

(Listen to the story in Marcelo's own words, Press Play)

To give you a little more backstory...

What you just heard in the audio clip is what happens when you have a working marketing funnel for your music.

Marcelo (the student in the audio clip) plays in two bands and by using the marketing principles taught inside the Fan Attraction System he has turned his musical talent into a revenue generating business that is earning him over $500/mo from his supporters.

And this is just the beginning for him because of one very important truth:

When your fanbase-size doubles, your revenue will also double. 

That rule is based on the "$1 Per Subscriber" principle that I will teach you inside the training — that is how Marcelo was able to turn 500 email subscribers into $500/mo of recurring revenue. So if you are sitting on an email list of fans but doing nothing, you are actually sitting on a potential gold mine of cash that I will teach you how to unlock.

And I also want to teach you how to set up your own custom fan funnel that is going to bring brand new listeners to your music each and every day on autopilot.

Does this sound good to you?

I hope so!

Let's dive a little bit deeper into the course curriculum so that you can clearly see how this course is structured and how it will finally unlock what you've been missing in terms of audience growth and musical income.

Course Curriculum 🎓

MODULE #1:

Indie Basic Training 🥊

The first module you will receive is called "Indie Basic Training" and it's designed to lay the structure and foundation of your music business correctly.

The goal is to give you incredible value straight out of the gate so you can see immediate improvement with everything you're already doing. The training lasts for 5 days where every day you will receive roughly an hour of video content, checklists, and how-to guides on the 5 biggest areas of your music career.

Whether you're a beginner, or have been a musician for 30+ years, you get brought up to speed, fast! 

IBT 🥊 is great because it's impossible for me to know your exact situation since we haven't met yet — but through Indie Basic Training I can solve nearly every mindset, marketing and business problem that you will ever face as an artist.

But IBT 🥊  is just where your training begins.

"I never realized how many frigging holes I had in my music business... thank you!" — M. Randy

MODULE #2:

Profitable Music Career 💵

The full title of this training is called How to Build a Profitable Music Career from Scratch and it is one of the most popular trainings at the Indie Music Academy—for a good reason:

It teaches you how to be financially independent as a creative musician. This means you stay in control of your business and financial goals so you never have to take a "bad deal" from a sketchy record label just to earn some extra cash.

Just think about it for a second. If tomorrow you were given a shout-out by Post Malone himself, would you have the business structures and the marketing knowledge to turn that exposure into a lasting career? Soon you will! You'll learn information in a single weekend that took me 10 years to sort out!

"I recommend this to anybody who is tired of not getting their music heard." — @therearestorms

MODULE #3:

The Fan Journey Formula 🧭

This is where we shift from learning business and marketing principles to introducing plug-and-play marketing strategies that I want you to literally steal from me and implement for your own music career.

That's where the Fan Journey Formula comes in.

There is nothing more important than constructing a Fan Journey if you want your fans to listen, show up, and purchase from you time and time again. That's why in this module, I will outline the entire Fan Journey Formula. I'll even teach you how to research and sell your own products and use Facebook ads and Instagram swipe-up ads to build audience awareness towards your "fan funnel" that we will set up together.

"Love your videos, love your process... I couldn't be a bigger fan!" — Mike M.

MODULE #4:

The Song Launch Formula 🚀

Now we take everything taught in the previous modules and apply it to the single most important action in your music business—the release of a brand new song. 

The 30 days leading up to your "Song Launch" are some of the most valuable moments for growth in your artist career. But how do you release it so people actually care? That's where The Song Launch Formula comes in. You'll get the most in-depth song release strategy anywhere on the internet including a 30 Day Song Launch Calendar so you'll never get stuck wondering "what should I be doing today so I don't fall behind." 

This will give you complete confidence over your music career, accelerate your growth and product sales, and (most importantly) combine your musical creativity and "marketing" into one fluid process so that your career growth is automatic. 

Once you master this you can't fail. I repeat—once implemented this is guaranteed to give you traction in your music career.

You might be thinking, "wow, this is a lot and this is going to take a TON of time."

But actually the opposite is true!

Almost everything you need I will hand over to you fully finished. You just need to simply implement everything into you own ecosystem. 

But I wanted to be extremely specific on exactly how I'm going to help you. It also is worth mentioning that I'll be there for you along every step of your training to answer questions and clarify anything that is confusing. Below every video there is a chat box where you can directly communicate with me and the other students (see image below):

👆 Discussion from students inside the Song Launch Formula 🚀 training portal!

I hope it's starting to become clear that growing your fanbase and building an income around your musical talent is actually possible using this method.
