Overview
This section focuses on expanding your business reach, building stronger connections with your audience, and creating more opportunities for growth. Over the next several days, you will explore new revenue streams, discover collaboration opportunities, plan your releases, strengthen your marketing, and increase your visibility both on and off the platform.
Each step is designed to help you move from simply creating music to building a more sustainable and scalable business around it.
Day 22 | Set Up Your Merch
When merch is done well, it helps fans feel more connected to your brand and community. It also creates another source of revenue that can support your business while helping more people discover your music and identity.
With merch, you can create custom products to sell through your Beat Store, with items printed and shipped on demand under your own brand.

Day 23 | Submit to Open Opportunities
BeatStars regularly creates opportunities for our community to get their music heard. Our curated playlists are seen by thousands of artists and are designed not only to showcase standout music from our producers, but also to inspire collaboration and spark new creative opportunities that may not have happened otherwise.
Submitting to open opportunities can help increase your exposure and place your music in front of the right audience.
Day 24 | Determine Your Release Strategy
When planning your beat release strategy, you are deciding how the world will hear your music. This means thinking about where your music will be available, how often you want to release it, and how many tracks you want to drop at one time.
Planning ahead gives you a clearer structure, helps you stay consistent, and allows you to measure your results over time so you can see what is working best.

Day 25 | Set Up Email Automation
Email marketing is a powerful way to stay connected with your customers and keep them informed about new releases, promotions, and other updates.
Not only is it a cost-effective marketing tool, but it also gives you the opportunity to speak directly to your audience through their inbox at a time that is convenient for them. Over time, email automation can help you maintain engagement without needing to manually follow up each time.

Day 26 | NEW REQUIRED
Day 27 | Network with 5 Other Creators
Networking is not only about talking to other people, it is about building strong relationships with other creators that can lead to new opportunities and collaborations.
The people in your network can also become valuable sounding boards for ideas, sources of advice, and a support system that encourages you to keep moving towards your goals. Building connections with other creators can have a lasting impact on your growth, both personally and professionally.
Day 28 | Promote Your Music on BeatStars
Promotions are a great way to increase your visibility and maximise your sales potential. BeatStars places ads throughout the platform to help your music reach a wider audience and get the exposure it deserves.
These promotions can lead to increases in followers, plays, likes, reposts, and most importantly, sales. Using promotion tools strategically can help more listeners discover your music and drive stronger results over time.

Day 29 | Run a Paid Ad Campaign
Paid advertising can put you on a faster path to reaching your ideal audience. It can help you promote a new release, increase brand awareness, or improve visibility for keywords that are difficult to rank for organically.
When used well, paid ads can be a powerful marketing tool. However, they work best when supported by strong research, planning, and strategy. Taking the time to understand your audience and goals will help you get more value from your campaigns.
