Everything you might want to know

How much time do I need to commit each week?

You can take this at your own pace, if life becomes busy. But, to get the most out of this as quickly as possible, plan for 3 to 4 hours per week across the 8 weeks: 60 minutes reviewing the module and 2 to 3 hours implementing the exercises with your audience.

Do I need a large existing social following to start?
No. The entire model is designed around micro-audiences. You only need a handful of interested listeners to start building direct-to-fan relationships.
Do I need to buy expensive software or website hosting?
No. You will learn how to build your fan hub using simple tools like Kit, Bandzoogle, and Bandcamp. We focus on keeping technology accessible so you avoid unnecessary costs.
Will I have to run paid advertising?
Not initially. While the final module covers scaling with simple Facebook and Instagram campaigns, the core curriculum relies entirely on converting your existing organic listeners.
Do I retain lifetime access to the materials?
Yes. You get lifetime access to all course recordings, resource templates, email copy swipes, and future curriculum updates.

Caitlin Grey

Award-winning Singer, Songwriter, Producer & Music Industry Mentor

I teach independent music artists how to build a sustainable direct-to-fan career by growing an audience they actually own. Rather than chasing algorithms or millions of streams to make a viable income, I show you how to build a foundation of just 300 genuine supporters. We create the exact infrastructure needed to turn casual listeners into a community that financially supports your work, generating £30,000 a year through real relationships.

The fundamental shift

You cannot build a secure music career on platforms where algorithms control your audience.
