## 🎤 PART 1 SCRIPT — *Get Paid: The Artist Royalty Registration Gameplan*

---

**\[00:00–00:30] - INTRO OPENING HOOK**

> “What’s good everybody — welcome to today’s live. If you’re an artist dropping music but **not seeing a check**... it’s not the music that’s the problem — it’s the paperwork.

>

> This segment is for the artists ready to turn music into money — real money from **royalties, placements, and proper registration.**

>

> So if you’re tired of streams not adding up, you’re about to learn how to fix it. Grab a notebook, and if you're ready for the full service, just text the word **‘Royalty’** to 📲 **415-724-1669**.”

---

**\[00:30–02:30] - THE PROBLEM: MOST ARTISTS NEVER GET PAID**

> “Here’s a fact: Over 80% of independent artists never collect all the money their music earns.

>

> Why? Because they think uploading to DistroKid or TuneCore is enough. But **streaming distribution is only ONE part** of the royalty equation.

>

> If you’re not registered in the RIGHT places, there’s money out there in your name — and it’s going to waste.

>

> Today I’m breaking down the 7 royalty types every artist should collect — and where to register for each one.”

---

## 🔑 **\[02:30–07:30] - THE 7 ROYALTY TYPES & WHERE TO REGISTER**

> “Let’s break it down. These are the **7 royalty streams** your music creates — even from just 1 song.”

---

### 🟩 1. **Mechanical Royalties**

> Earned from: Streams & downloads

> Paid to: Songwriters/publishers

> Register with: **The MLC**, **Songtrust**, **Harry Fox Agency**

---

### 🟦 2. **Performance Royalties**

> Earned from: Radio play, live shows, streaming

> Paid to: Songwriters/publishers

> Register with: **ASCAP** or **BMI**

---

### 🟥 3. **Digital Performance Royalties**

> Earned from: Pandora, SiriusXM, iHeartRadio

> Paid to: Performers + Labels

> Register with: **SoundExchange**

---

### 🟨 4. **Sync Licensing Royalties**

> Earned from: Your music in movies, shows, commercials

> Paid to: Anyone who owns the master or publishing

> Register with: **Songtradr**, **AudioSocket**, **Pond5**, etc.

---

### 🟪 5. **YouTube Content ID Royalties**

> Earned from: Monetized YouTube videos (even fan uploads)

> Paid to: Rights holders

> Register via: Your distributor or 3rd party admin like **Identifyy** or **AdRev**

---

### 🟧 6. **Print Royalties**

> Earned from: Sheet music, lyric use in books or films

> Rare but valuable for lyric-heavy or gospel music

> Register through: **Music Publisher/Sync Admin**

---

### 🟫 7. **Neighboring Rights Royalties**

> Earned from: International performance & broadcast

> Paid to: Performers and master owners

> Register through: SoundExchange and a global admin (Songtrust or Sentric)

---

**\[07:30–10:30] - THE REGISTRATION FLOW**

> “So let me ask: How many of these are you actually collecting on?

>

> Here’s the **minimum setup** every artist needs:

>

> ✅ **ASCAP or BMI** (for performance royalties)

> ✅ **SoundExchange** (for digital performance)

> ✅ **MLC** (for mechanical royalties)

> ✅ **Songtrust** (to collect worldwide)

> ✅ **DistroKid/TuneCore** (distribution = streaming)

> ✅ **At least 1 sync library** for licensing income

>

> Once this is done, you start to build the real business behind your music. Now every play, every upload, every show gets tracked and monetized. That’s how the majors do it — and now we’re giving indie artists the same tools.”

---

**\[10:30–12:30] - WHAT HAPPENS AFTER REGISTRATION?**

> “Within 30–90 days, artists start seeing:

>

> 💸 Quarterly PRO payments (ASCAP/BMI)

> 💰 SoundExchange digital payouts

> 🎬 Sync placements paying \$250–\$2,500

> 🧾 Retroactive royalties you didn’t even know were owed

>

> I’ve seen artists make \$300 in 60 days off tracks they uploaded **years ago**, just because we got them registered in the right places.”

---

**\[12:30–14:00] - CTA: TEXT FOR THE SERVICE**

> “If this sounds overwhelming — don’t worry. We built a service that handles all of this for you.

>

> ➕ We register your songs

> ➕ Track your royalties

> ➕ Set you up for sync licensing

>

> And it’s affordable. We even offer payment plans.

>

> If you want to start today — text the word **‘Royalty’** to 📲 **415-724-1669** and we’ll walk you through it. You’ll get a callback, a form, or a custom quote depending on what you need.”

---

**\[14:00–15:00] - TRANSITION TO PART 2 TEASER**

> “Coming up next — how to get **booked** using your artist stats and performance history. We’ll break down exactly what booking agents want to see and how you can use your data to get paid gigs and tour offers. Stick around — this is where it starts to turn into real money.”

Here’s the **full script for Part 2 (15:00–30:00)** of your July 14 IG Live stream:

## 🎤 PART 2 SCRIPT — *Get Booked: Artist Analysis That Gets You Paid*

---

**\[15:00–15:30] - SEGMENT OPENING / BRIDGE FROM PART 1**

> “Now that we’ve covered how to get paid **passively** with royalties, let’s talk about **active income** — getting you **on stage and booked for shows**.

>

> Because if you’re serious about being an artist — you need to be performing, building your brand, and getting paid to show up.

>

> So the real question is: **Are you positioned to get booked?** Let’s find out.”

---

**\[15:30–18:00] - WHY MOST ARTISTS DON’T GET BOOKED**

> “Most artists think bookings happen because of clout, followers, or who you know.

>

> That helps — but venues and promoters want **proof** you’re going to bring value.

>

> They’re asking:

>

> * Can this artist fill 30–50 heads?

> * Do they have a real following or just bots?

> * Are their streams consistent?

> * Do they have performance footage?

>

> Without the right data, you're just another name in the DMs. But with the right profile and **booking kit**, you can start charging \$100, \$500, or even \$1,000 a show.”

---

**\[18:00–21:00] - WHAT AN ARTIST ANALYSIS INCLUDES**

> “That’s where our **Artist Analysis** comes in.

>

> We pull together your:

>

> * 🎧 Spotify monthly listeners & top cities

> * 📺 YouTube subscribers, watch time, and top videos

> * 📱 Instagram/Facebook engagement (reels, stories, likes)

> * 🎤 Performance history (venues, past shows, footage links)

> * 🏆 Awards, media coverage, past collabs

>

> Then we turn it into a **booking-ready profile**.

> Promoters and booking agents **love this** because they don’t have to guess. You hand them everything they need to say YES.”

---

**\[21:00–23:00] - WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR (ENGAGEMENT MATTERS)**

> “Let me drop a gem: **It’s not about your follower count — it’s about your engagement rate.**

>

> A verified artist with 5,000 *real* followers and consistent comments will get booked faster than someone with 50K fake ones.

>

> We calculate your:

>

> * Like/comment ratio

> * Video watch-through rates

> * Playlist adds & saves

> * Live event reactions

>

> This isn’t fluff — it’s the same stuff labels and talent buyers use to decide who gets on a lineup.”

---

**\[23:00–25:00] - PRICING YOURSELF & FINDING YOUR BOOKING ANGLE**

> “Once we analyze your profile, we help you build out:

>

> * Your **booking rate card**

> * Your **performance pitch deck**

> * A list of venues and markets based on your streaming cities

>

> That’s how you go from hoping to get booked — to actually getting paid.

>

> Artists like **Kozy a.k.a. Cigarface** built his artist deck through this process and now has more demand, better negotiations, and consistent show invites.”

---

**\[25:00–28:00] - CTA: TEXT “ANALYSIS” TO 415-724-1669**

> “If you want to position yourself for shows, tours, brand partnerships — it starts with **knowing your numbers**.

>

> We built a service for this.

>

> You’ll get a custom PDF + booking deck, plus a consult on:

> ✅ How to price yourself

> ✅ What to improve

> ✅ How to book smarter

>

> To get started, just text the word **‘Analysis’** to 📲 **415-724-1669** and we’ll send the intake form. First few artists may get a discount or bonus too 👀.”

---

**\[28:00–30:00] - TRANSITION TO PART 3 TEASER**

> “Now\... let’s talk about the **fanbase side** of your brand. In Part 3, we’re going to show you how to:

>

> * Turn casual fans into loyal supporters

> * Build a fanbook that includes your merch, music, and tickets

> * Monetize your movement with tools you control

>

> Don’t go anywhere — this next section is where we turn fans into funding 💰.”

---

## 🎤 PART 3 SCRIPT — *Get Monetized: Fanbooks, Merch & Monetization Tactics*

---

### **\[30:00–30:30] – OPENING BRIDGE FROM PART 2**

> “So now you’ve got the music registered and your artist profile set up to get booked...

>

> The next step is to turn **your fanbase into fuel** — by giving them something to hold, wear, or experience.

>

> In this segment, we’re talking **Fanbooks, custom merch, and income tools** that work even if you only have 200 loyal supporters. Trust me — this is where a lot of artists unlock that next level.”

---

### **\[30:30–33:30] – WHAT IS A FANBOOK & WHY IT WORKS**

> “Let’s start with the **Fanbook**. Think of it like a magazine-meets-EPK for YOU. It’s a digital or printed booklet that includes:

>

> * 🎤 Your story and bio

> * 🔗 Links to your videos, playlists, and social media

> * 💿 Lyrics, behind-the-scenes photos, or unreleased songs

> * 🧢 Your merch — ready to buy

> * 🎟️ A QR code or link to your next show or bundle deal

>

> Whether it’s digital or printed, it’s something your fans can save, show off, and support with their wallet.”

---

### **\[33:30–36:00] – HOW TO BUILD & SELL A FANBOOK**

> “We design fanbooks **for you** — custom covers, layout, links, and even embedded video if it’s digital.

>

> And when you combine it with a print-on-demand merch item — like a shirt, hoodie, or poster — now you’ve got a whole package to sell:

>

> 📦 **Fanbook + Shirt + Ticket Bundle = \$35–\$50**

>

> You don’t even need inventory. We set it up with tools like:

>

> * Shopify

> * Gumroad or Payhip for digital sales

> * Printful or Printify for drop shipping

>

> So you can sell **without paying upfront**.”

---

### **\[36:00–38:30] – MERCH IDEAS & TICKET COMBOS THAT WORK**

> “Here’s the best part — your **Fanbook can launch a whole brand**.

>

> Some artists include:

>

> * 🤫 QR codes to unreleased songs

> * 🎟️ Tickets to their listening party or pop-up

> * 🖼️ Autographed collector pages or covers

> * 🧢 Merch with lyrics, art, or slogans

>

> You can charge \$10–\$25 for digital-only, or \$40–\$75 for physical bundles.

>

> Now instead of chasing Spotify pennies, you’re turning 50 fans into \$1,000+ income streams.”

---

### **\[38:30–40:30] – CASE STUDY / STORY: KOZY OR SAMPLE ARTIST**

> “Let me give you an example. We built a custom fanbook for **Kozy a.k.a. Cigarface** — included streaming links, lyrics, merch, and a ticket to his next event.

>

> He used it at shows, in his IG bio, and gave printed copies to local fans.

>

> Result?

>

> * More streams

> * Better first impression

> * Fans actually paid him BEFORE the show

>

> It’s like a **rap press kit meets hustle product** — it works.”

---

### **\[40:30–43:00] – CTA: TEXT “FANBOOK” TO 415-724-1669**

> “If you want us to design your fanbook — or you want to learn how to do it yourself — just text **‘Fanbook’** to 📲 **415-724-1669** and we’ll send the form and bundle options.

>

> We’ll help you:

> ✅ Build your visual brand

> ✅ Set up print-on-demand sales

>

> And we’ll make sure it’s something you can sell, ship, or post online ASAP.”

---

### **\[43:00–45:00] – TRANSITION TO Q\&A**

>

>

> The answer is: **Yes. Whether you want to DIY it or have us do it for you — we’ve got your back.**
