Single Release Checklist

Caleb on May 5, 2019

Something as seemingly simple as releasing a single can become overwhelming.

First you record the song, and have your track mixed and mastered. Then you need to fill out those horrible copyright forms 😱. Then there's publishing through CD Baby etc…

Did you cover another artist's song? Don't forget those mechanical licenses!

Hurray! You've made it to release day!

Did you remember the Spotify pre-save campaign?

What about an email for your mailing list and posts for all your followers on social media?

And we haven't even talked about promoting your single with an awesome music video …

Ugh! And all you really want to do is write more awesome music…
