Overview
In this article, we will walk through the first seven days of building a stronger music business foundation. Each day focuses on a different area, from improving your storefront and branding to defining your audience and setting up your business professionally.
These steps are designed to help you strengthen your presence, build trust with customers, and prepare your brand for long-term growth.
Day 1 | Set Up or Spruce Up
Your website can shape a customer’s first impression of your brand. Whether you are just getting started or want to refresh your look for the new year, today is the perfect time to get your Pro Page looking its best.
If your storefront does not look professional, or if it is not organised in a way that is easy for customers to navigate, you could miss out on sales they may otherwise have made.
The Pro Page is your own easy-to-edit, fully customisable professional storefront that can be set up in just minutes.

Day 2 | Solidify Your Branding
Establish your identity. Strong branding helps your audience recognise you quickly and remember you more easily. Over time, your logo can become a symbol of trust.
The BeatStars team has personally curated a list of our favourite design resources, tools, and websites to help you create the branding you envision.
Day 3 | Find Your Inspiration
One of the best ways to grow is to learn. Use our checklist of questions to evaluate your sources of inspiration so you can study more effectively and pay attention to the elements and strategies that matter most.
Day 4 | Define What Makes You Different
Understanding your value is essential for long-term success. Your mission statement and value proposition do not need to be shared publicly, but they can serve as a guide for your business decisions.
They can also help you stay motivated and focused during the more challenging parts of entrepreneurship, giving you a clear reminder of why you started your business and the value you bring to your customers.
Use our guide for an easy way to outline who you are and what you offer.
Day 5 | Determine Your Audience
Grow your customer base through intentional targeting.
The better you understand your target market, the more relevant your product, content, and marketing will be. This gives you a much better chance of reaching the people most likely to become paying customers.
Answer these questions to build a targeting strategy focused on the right audience.
Day 6 | Set Up an LLC
Take the next step in formalising your business. Forming an LLC for your music business can offer many advantages and can benefit you in the long run as your business grows and your sales increase.
Our guide explains whether an LLC and EIN are right for you and what steps to take if you decide to move forward.
Day 7 | Set Up Your Custom Domain
As a music producer, having a custom domain and email can help establish a stronger level of professionalism for your business. Using a domain that is specific to you can boost credibility, build trust with potential customers, and help drive more traffic to your site by improving how you appear in search engines.
