If you're like most independent artists, you're probably struggling with:
Growing a fan base, knowing what content to make to attract new fans, focusing on the right strategies to further your career, and getting your music in front of the right listeners...
In fact, let me know if this sounds like you:
But what if you could:
This is how we've helped artists go from just starting out and confused to turning down record deals and
selling out tours around the world...
In 2017, Ed Isola of The 502s was looking to launch his band's debut album and grow a fan base...
The only problem was he had no idea how to grow a fan base😖
He had tried things like running ads to Spotify, posting on social media, and trying to create content people would like...
But, he had trouble reaching and attracting new fans or even knowing what to focus on...
To make matters worse, he was starting to get overwhelmed as time management was becoming a problem...
So, when Ed saw an ad for our music marketing trainings, he didn't hesitate to try us out...
When Ed gained access to our library of music marketing trainings, he started tearing through the lessons and mapping out how he wanted to launch their new album, Because We Had To...
Within a month, he had put together a run of performance videos of the songs from the album using our Fan Finder Method training...
By the Summer, Ed has built a full album launch for the album using our How To Profit From A Launch training...
And, by the end of 2017, The 502s had generated their first million-view video with their debut single "What To Do"...
Overall, Ed was able to launch Because We Had To to a dedicated email list of over 1000 new fans around the world...
The best part?
He generated enough sales to cover the cost of marketing and even turn a profit!
Then, a European promoter saw The 502s Fan Finder campaign and invited them to play a festival in Germany...
So, the next year, The 502s toured Europe, playing whatever venues they could book across multiple countries and even playing in the homes of their new fans...
Flash forward to today - The 502s have:
And, Ed is making enough money from the band to focus on it full time...
But, this is only one of many success stories in our IndiePRO music marketing community...
Because almost the same exact thing happened with Ande Hunter of UK rock band As December Falls...
And with Quebec synthpop artist Caracol...
And with UK singer-songwriter RJ Thompson...
And with Australian alt rockers Cloning...
In fact, this story replays over and over again every year for artists in our community...
We've helped hundreds of artists make 6-figure annual revenue. Our agency has even helped some artists generate millions of dollars per year!
But, in working with 10,000+ indie artists over the last 5 years, we've noticed something important:
Artists that have the highest success rates are
absolutely laser-focused on execution...
Building campaigns...
Releasing music...
Crushing their marketing online from top to bottom, from ads and email marketing, to social media, sales offers, and beyond...
We've seen this success play out inside our IndieFounder coaching program when...
The one key ingredient that has made
these artists so successful is implementation...
To succeed, you need to get things done in your music business...
So, if Indepreneur is going to have the impact we want it to have, we need our community members to get more things done...
For that reason, we've decided to invest into IndiePRO to make it better:
Over the next year we will put on 12 different workshops. Every workshop will teach you a new skill and install a new process in your music business...
As an IndiePRO Member you will:

When it comes to building a fan base and succeeding with an artist brand, many artists follow the examples they get from the music industry. Indepreneur teaches what actually works in music marketing so independent musicians can outperform industry marketers and managers...

Musicians that understand how to build and monetize an audience win in the music industry. Invest in IndiePro today.
Why? Because the only success to be had in the music industry is the kind that you build yourself - and we're here to help you do that.

The 502s
One of the first students of Indepreneur trainings, Ed Isola, founded his band The 502s in 2017. Using great content, work ethic, killer songs, and IndiePRO trainings and strategies, they went from 0 to 2,000,000 monthly listeners in under 5 years, charting on Billboard and playing sold-out tours across the nation.

As December Falls
After joining IndiePRO in 2018, Ande Hunter of the UK rock band As December Falls dove head-first into our training vault. From 2018 on, ADF has sold out a new, bigger tour every year (except for 2021 when COVID shut them down and they created 10,000 customers for their debut album 🤯). This year, ADF opened for Sum 41, Green Day, and Bowling for Soup on festival stages.
