    Small Win

    Hey guys, just thought I’d share this win because it made me feel awesome when I read it this morning. One of my clients just sent over a blog review for her latest single and it was probably the most glowing feedback I’ve ever gotten about my work. Any ideas on how I can leverage it with a post? Maybe a story or Instagram post? https://bsideguys.com/2024/02/22/whisper-doll-lady-in-blue-a-haunting-reverie/

      Feb '24@Van You could also follow the trend of making a short video with long text - so the video plays multiple times while people read the text.

    First new client/project from outreach!

    Hi All, I've been looking for a reason to post here since my introductory post and just got it this morning. I've sold my first project as a direct consequence of the dark label outreach approach! It is a full song production and mixing for an artist based in Texas (I'm based in San Diego). This will also be my first remote collaboration with an artist who self produces (not just a vocalist). Big thanks to everyone on the group calls for the inspiration, and guidance from the Dark Label team on sales mindset and approach!

      Feb '24Inspiring to see! Interesting to hear about the average six-month turnaround before someone becomes a client. I've been getting a bit frustrated by people not biting the bit right on the sales call, so that's great to know.

    My first wins

    Heys guys ! I have not been super involved in group calls & chats recently, I was actually super busy working on very exciting new projects that have landed. Parisian time also makes it hard to attend these calls as I’m usually booked for session work 2 months ago I was barely making 200/300€ a month. I started working with Dark Label in December, 2 months into 2024 have already brought me 20k€ worth of projects. Today, I have: -secured approx 3/4 recurrent clients that come to my studio for local ses... See more

    1st Paid Proof Session

    Just had my first proof session with an artist that was a previous vocal student. Went really well - she's excited. I'm excited. It kinda rolled into a SSF at the end - but I had my offer numbers in place so I knew what to say when she asked. Setting up a monthly amount for 2 sessions a month + vocal production work. Which feels like it will grow into more production/songwriting/tracking work - as we progress. Feeling pumped - thanks Dan and Aaron and the Dark Label community!

      Feb '24 (edited)@Christian I based them off my offer builder (the exercise from the content module) and my Minimum Hourly Value Rate. So for me my minimum is $45 per hour minimum - but my current rate as a vocal coach and singing teacher is $90 per hour (which is a price she was already expecting and use too).So based on in person contact hours I used a slight mark up on my singing teacher rate to account for the studio hire - pushing it to about $110 per hour for tracking, vocal guidance - and then abou...

    Full-Time (feels more like the beginning)

    TLDR: Over the past few months, I've achieved significant milestones in my music career, including consistently booking new client work, securing my largest remote project, relocating to a new studio space alongside my home setup, and officially transitioning to full-time work as a producer. Rather than solely celebrating these victories, I want to share insights for those striving for a 'Full-Time' status as a goal. Upon joining Dark Label, my goal was to shift from part-time to full-time as a w... See more

      Christian

      Jan '24Wonderful to hear, Riley! Might I ask what conditions you were looking for before going full-time? Was it a full client load? Or an estimate that you'd have enough clients to meet your economics for...three months? Six? A year? Since I'm nearing the same threshold, I'd love to hear more about your thought process 😊

    3. Riley
      Riley

      Jan '24@Christian Thanks man, For sure. I was mainly looking at the economics that Dan outlines in the Roadmap videos, taking into consideration both my personal and business expenses. I had already established almost all the clients I work with onto a retainer plan similar to the momentum model so that I can see more steady revenue for my business and know about how much money will be coming in for the next 4 - 12 months.I feel like we are at similar points in our journey, I noticed you were al...

      Jan '24Thanks for sharing @Riley ! I think you hit the nail on the head. The goal posts keep moving as you progress, that's the true mark of an entrepreneur and who knows where it will take you! I for one know that I'm never satisfied, that's why I actually rarely share my wins. That's also a default though, and looking back occasionally to give yourself a pat on the back is important. Congrats and excited for you!

      Jan '24@Kensaye Thanks man, I completely agree. I have a difficult time sharing my wins because I also feel like the second I achieve them I am already looking to the next milestone or objective. I am trying to get better at celebrating and sharing the points of success that show the work I have put in. I feel like its beneficial not only for myself but others around me to offer points to celebrate and interact.

      Riley

      Jan '24 (edited)Thanks so much @Jason BradfordHonestly it’s been a bit of a juggling game with some other personal things that needed attention in these first few weeks of their year but I can say I feel a difference in my mental energy being less divided durning the week and I’m really starting to feel the momentum building of the extra energy being put towards my business and music work. I have a good feeling that I’ll be better adjusted here in a month or two and things will keep gaining positive speed which I’m excited for.

It's motivating to see, and a great reminder to really relax into the process, enjoying the present while still planning and striving. Great perspective, thank you.I'm curious - since you've gone full time, have you noticed any difference in your energy now that it is all pointed/focused in one direction (full-time music and not the part time job)?

Countless failed calls, people scoffing at the fact that I charge for "collaborations", getting ghosted after sending out offers, and countless other stories of shit "going wrong". I came into this program with so many limiting beliefs about how "dope artists don't need or want to pay producers", thinking I was "in the wrong genre" for client work, how nobody in their...

    just signed my first client using the DL method! went through the SSF call, quoted my full price (the base rate we figure out through the economics worksheet), and got the client on the momentum model. doing 3 songs/quarter, starting in July. this is a massive project (150+ songs) and even at this rate is going to be ongoing for the next 12+ years. the client reached out to me (had relationship prior to DL, done a few songs in the past) and said i was the only producer he wanted on this project. ...

    First outbound client since starting DL

    Thought I would share a win: last week I signed my first outbound client at my full rate since starting Dark Label. Nothing crazy, just a single, but significant for me nonetheless. Met this person at an IRL networking event (listening session type thing) where I played one of the songs I worked on for my portfolio, which I got a lot of good feedback and had a few follow-up calls from, which turned into this sale. Pumped for more to come :)

      Jan '24Yeah, man! That's awesome! I'm hoping to sign my first client right now, via pure outreach techniques. All the rest of my clients, are usually done through my old ways of getting work - which has kept me busy, but this one is a game changer if you can make it work, as it affords you more predictability. I am still working on mine, had a call with the potential client, and one thing that struck me was that she mentioned my short videos I've been making on Instagram as a point of interest for her....

    Music Industry Win

    Greetings producer community. I wanted to share a small music industry win today. Just about every week, I try to reach out to a music industry contact in addition to trying to get independent paying clients. I try to connect some logical dots, and make a pitch at someone in the industry to try to get bigger major label placements. I have been doing this for years, and every year or two it works out! When it does, it is a credit you can use forever(Some of my credits are Mos Def, Azealia Banks, ... See more

      Jan '24@Christian it all depends who the contact is, but in general with independent clients I am taking them through a type of sales funnel with initial messages. With music industry contacts I just go straight for the offer or pitch with my initial message.

      Jan '24Great idea Stephen, and congratulations on the placement! I'm curious what your initial message to industry people looks like. Is it much different to the initial messages you send to prospective clients? Do you make the pitch in that initial message?

    New Year + New Wins

    Super hyped for the new year. Some of my goals this year are to buy a house for me and my wife, continue expanding my brand and social media following, and continue to grow as a producer and engineer. And of course work with more and more new clients. Also just locked in a new project the first day of this year which I'm excited to be starting off strong.

    Got a record deal!

    Hey guys! I wanted to celebrate an unconventional win. I got offered a record deal as an artist! Admittedly, that’s why I’ve been a little absent here. been in songwriting mode! They’ve asked me to produce and they’ll pay for a separate mix and master. I actually asked for the mix and master. I personally think it’s too much to do EVERYTHING when you’re that close to it emotionally. I’ll keep producing on my own and part of my long term goal is to work with them as a producer. On Dan’s recommendat... See more

    So since joining Dark Label this year I've really been practicing all the knowledge and mindset-stuff here provided first and foremost by @Daniel , and echoed by everyone else. It's been a crucial component to expand my way of thinking as it was quite limited with so many years "expecting" things to happen. Nowadays I'm focusing quite a lot on investing in myself where needed and providing value in every project I am in and these last few months I haven't been able to really pop in as mu...

    First momentum win

    Just landed a deal with an artist to do 5 singles next year - going to do them for $1k a pop, and have her pay me $500/month for 10 months. Really looking forward to transitioning a few of my existing clients to this type of payment schedule so I can have some more reliable income next year. I think I probably could have charged more, but it was my first time pitching a $5k project to someone so I just wanted to make sure I could land it. You live and learn! Thanks @Daniel for introducing me to this type of thing... I think January is gonna be huge!
