WHY THIS ROUTE
Independent artists struggle to find their real fans. A tool that shows who believed first is something they will pay a little for every month.

FIRST MESSAGE · INSTAGRAM STORY · TO THE ARTIST'S FOLLOWERS

I want to know who was here first. Claim a seat in my First Row and tell me how you found me. When I book my first headline show, the first seats get soundcheck invites. [link]

3. Pitch other artists with the proof

30 min

Show the club and offer the first month free, then $9.

FIRST MESSAGE · DIRECT MESSAGE · TO AN INDIE PRODUCER

Hi Leo, I run First Row, a club page where your earliest fans claim dated seats and you can invite them to soundchecks and listening parties. Here is one with 60 seats: [link]. Want me to set yours up? First month free, then $9.

4. Help one artist run a listening party

90 min

Invite the first 20 seats to an online or small in-person listening party. This is the moment that sells the tool.
