What We Do
Overview
The goal is to create social proof that shows authority in the space, develop and organize the artist's growth path to create more sync opportunities, and build toward organizational connections over time.

How It All Connects
1 · Attract
Social, YouTube + Podcast
Short clips on TikTok, IG and YouTube Shorts. Long-form video and podcast episodes.
2 · Free offer
Free or low-cost content
Free lessons and the checklist turn viewers into email subscribers.
3 · Stay in touch
Email list
A regular email with lessons, Lunch & Listen invites and artist stories. Moves subscribers toward Patreon.
4 · Join
Patreon + Lunch & Listen
Paid tiers, community and live song reviews. Artists build skills and get feedback.
5 · Go deeper
Higher tiers, course, 1:1 coaching
More structure and more direct time with Dawn and Beth.
6 · Place
Opportunities to place
Artists who are ready get pitched for sync opportunities.
Throughout all 6 steps
Social proof → Organizational connections
The content, reviews and placements build social proof. Over time, that proof builds organizational connections (see Organizations).
Identity
Identity
Online music business education, plus hands-on sync and publishing services. Tagline: "Helping Artists Master the Business of Music."
Standard To Live By
Does it build talent, build proof, or bring in leads?
Ask this of every artist-facing offer. If it does none of the three, cut it or fold it into something that does.
Test 1
Builds talent
Makes artists more sync-ready: course, reviews, challenges.
Test 2
Builds proof
Shows expertise in public: videos, placements, case studies.
Test 3
Brings in leads
Grows the list and the membership: Lunch & Listen, TikTok + IG, free checklist.

- In-house editor for video
Gaps
- Underpriced: most offers are $10–$20

- Podcast dormant since 2020
- B2B services hidden: no prices, no dedicated pages (Phase 2)
- Website SEO problems (see SEO)

Goals & Outcomes · Open Questions
Open Questions
What we couldn't learn from the outside. These answers finalize prices and priorities.
Money
- Revenue by line: rough split: education vs. consulting vs. B2B services vs. sync commissions
- Goal: monthly revenue target, and which line they most want to grow
- Sync catalog split: commission %, catalog size, recent placements
Audience
- Lunch & Listen numbers: average attendees, submissions per week
- Email list: size and platform (Wix? other?)
- Patreon tiers: what each tier costs and includes
- Placements we can name publicly: for case studies
Capacity & Scope
- Hours per week Dawn, Beth, Miles and Ryan can give to content
- Is Take 2 Productions (management) still active?
- Where are they based? PST times + SoCal schools suggest Southern California. Confirm
- Canada / grants: is Ryan's grant work a market to grow?
Branding: not in scope
This portal uses a neutral placeholder design. It does not use their branding.
How We Do It · Offers & Pricing
Monetization Plan
Phase 1 is B2C: fewer artist offers, priced right, each leading to the next. This develops talent, gets them seen and should become a significant revenue stream on its own. Corporate deals come in Phase 2.
Where The Money Comes From
| Layer | What it earns | What else it does |
|---|---|---|
| Lunch & Listen | Very little, on purpose | Lead gen + spotting talent |
| Membership, course, audits | Significant, recurring income | Develops placement-ready artists |
| Sync placements | Commission per placement | Track record |
| Corporate relationships Phase 2 | Large, recurring deals | Parked. See Organizations |
The Problem In One Line
Their 1:1 time is underpriced. A $90 hour or a $15 office-hours slot with a network-TV veteran is priced like a hobby service. Volume can't fix that. There are only so many hours.
Artist Offers, Low To High
| Level | Offer | Price | Next step it leads to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | YouTube, podcast, Lunch & Listen (attend), "Sync-Ready Checklist" download | $0 | Join email list → submit a song |
| Entry Lead gen | Lunch & Listen submission. Capped public slots each week. Members get guaranteed slots. | $10 (keep as is) | Follow-up email: join the membership, $10 credited to month one |
| Recurring Core | Insider Membership: 1 submission/mo, weekly Sync Brief Challenge entry, all workshops live + replay library, monthly group Q&A | $25/mo · $250/yr | Signature course |
| Signature Best payoff | Sync-Ready course: 5-week live cohort + replays + a priority review | $397–$497 | Catalog application |
| Packaged 1:1 | Sync Pitch Audit: 5 songs, metadata, splits, and a pitch plan, delivered by recorded video | $197 | Consult package |
| Premium 1:1 | Strategy consult · 3-session package | $150/hr · $397 for 3 | Catalog / management |
| Top | Sync Catalog: by application, for sync-ready artists | Commission on placements % TBD | Case study content |
Prices are starting recommendations to test, not market data. Adjust once we see their numbers.
Lunch & Listen = Lead Gen
- Don't raise the price. +$5 a song is a few hundred dollars a year. Not worth the friction.
- Scarcity, not price. Cap public slots. Members skip the line.
- Every submitter gets an offer. One email after their review: join, $10 counts toward month one.
- Track one number: % of submitters who join within 30 days.
What To Retire Or Fold In
- $20 one-off workshops Fold in: make them membership perks. Sell replays only as a bundle ($47–$67 per topic)
- $15 Office Hours Retire: chops up Dawn's calendar. Replace with the monthly member Q&A
- $10 Grant Q&A Fold in: becomes part of a "Grants" replay bundle
- The $50 "sale" on the class Retire: permanent discounts train buyers to wait
Patreon Tiers
Simplify the tiers. Today there are 5 tiers ($8–$50) for 55 members, with small differences between them. Fewer, clearer tiers are easier to choose from. Platform choice is on Online Community.
What This Could Look Like: Illustrative

How We Attract Them · Search
SEO
The site is on Wix. The basics are mostly missing, and some private pages are public. Fix the basics first, then build pages people actually search for.
Critical: fix this week
A booking page named "Copy of Consultation" is public and listed for Google. It names a repeat client and their discount price. Hide it or delete it in Wix Bookings, today.
What We Found
| Issue | Where | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Draft pages are live and in the sitemap | /test-page, /copy-of-home, /copy-of-home-wip, /home-wip, /services-basic, /copy-of-sync-class-syllabus | Delete, or turn off "show in search results" |
| Messy URLs | "All Things Sync" lives at /copy-of-classes. Others: /copy-of-classes-1, /about-us-1 | Rename slugs (e.g. /sync-licensing-class, /about). Wix adds redirects. |
| No meta descriptions | Home, Podcast, Consulting, About, Classes | Write one for each page (template below) |
| Heading structure | Podcast, Consulting and About have no H1. Classes has 10. | One H1 per page, with the main keyword |
| Old event pages still live | TikTok workshops (Mar 9, Aug 3), Lunch & Listen Dec 3rd | Hide past events, or redirect to /lunch-and-listen |
| Generic page titles | "Consulting | A Matter Of Music" | Say what it is: "Sync & Music Business Consulting" |

Technical Extras
- Connect Google Search Console Do first: Wix does this from its SEO dashboard. Free. Shows what people search to find them.
- Structured data: Event (Lunch & Listen), Course, Podcast, FAQ. Wix supports custom markup per page.
How We Attract Them · Video
YouTube Long-Form
YouTube is a search engine for "how do I…" questions. Sync is full of them. They already record weekly content. It just isn't being published for search.
Four Content Formats
Format 1 · Weekly
"Is This Song Sync-Ready?"
Edited Lunch & Listen highlights. 3–4 song reviews per video. Real feedback is very watchable. Start here
Format 2 · Always relevant
Sync Explainers
One question per video: PROs, cue sheets, metadata, splits, one-stop deals. 10–15 min.
Format 3 · Monthly
Industry Interviews
Revive the podcast as video. Guests: supervisors, editors, publishers.
Format 4 · As they happen
Placement Breakdowns
"How this song landed on [show]." Proof that sells the catalog.
Critical: permission before publishing
Lunch & Listen songs belong to the artists. Add a consent checkbox to the submission form allowing the review to be posted on YouTube. Without it, they risk copyright claims and upset artists. Past recordings need permission one by one.

Every Video Gets
- A hook in the first 30 seconds: the question, and why it matters
- Chapters: timestamps in the description
- A link to the free checklist: in the description and a pinned comment (trackable link)
- An end screen pointing to the next video in its playlist
- 3 Shorts cut from it for YouTube, TikTok and Reels
- A blog post on the website (see SEO page)

How Often + Who Does It
- 1 long-form video per week: alternate review videos and explainers
- 1 interview per month: published as video and audio podcast
- Miles edits: review videos come from footage they already record, so they're the cheapest to make
What To Track
- Click-through rate: are titles and thumbnails working?
- Average view duration: are people staying?
- Checklist signups from YouTube: the number that matters for revenue
How We Do It · Community
Online Community
They already have one: Lunch & Listen. The weekly Zoom is what keeps it alive. Patreon is the paid layer. The job is to tighten it, not rebuild it.
How It Fits Together
Free
Lunch & Listen (attend)
Open to all. This is how most people find them. Every session ends with an invite to join.
Paid
Insider Membership
Submissions included, replay library, monthly Q&A, member-only chat.
Platform: Now vs. Later
| Option | Good for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Patreon Now | Already has 55 members. No migration. | Weak community features. Fee on each payment. |
| Skool | Community + courses + calendar in one | Flat monthly fee. Simple look. |
| Circle | Polished, paid tiers, courses | Costs more, more setup |
| Discord | Musicians already use it | Harder to sell inside |
Revisit at ~150 members, or when the course launches. Courses + community in one place gets more valuable then.
Regular Events
- Weekly Lunch & Listen: keep it. Add a member-only "priority review" slot.
- Monthly member Q&A: replaces paid office hours
- Member wins: share placements and releases. Doubles as proof.
- Weekly Sync Brief Challenge: see below. Replaces "song of the month."
Weekly Sync Brief Challenge
Every week, members get a mock sync brief: the kind a music supervisor would send. They submit a song that fits. The best fit wins a prize, judged live at Lunch & Listen.
Why It Works
| It does this | How |
|---|---|
| Keeps members active | A reason to show up every week, so fewer cancellations |
| Trains artists | Writing to a brief is the core sync skill |
| Spots talent | Winners are first in line for the catalog |
| Makes content | Every challenge = one YouTube video + Shorts |
| Sells the membership | Entry is a member perk |
How A Week Runs
Monday
Brief drops
Example: "30-second upbeat indie rock, female vocal, for a car commercial. No lyrics about driving."
Thursday
Entries close
One song per member. Must own 100% of master and publishing (or have all splits signed).
Friday
Judged live at Lunch & Listen
Dawn and the team pick a winner on air and explain why. The feedback is the lesson.
Next week
Winner spotlight
Post the winning song and the "why it won" breakdown on YouTube and social.
Prize Rotation
Rotate prizes so cash isn't every week. That keeps costs predictable and makes the big prizes feel special.
| Week | Prize | Real cost to us |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Pitch priority: top of the list for the next fitting real brief | $0 Most valuable |
| Week 2 | 1-hour coaching with Dawn | 1 hour of time |
| Week 3 | $100 cash | $100 |
| Week 4 | Free year of membership | ~$250 in lost revenue |
| Quarterly | Champion of champions: weekly winners face off for a lifetime membership | Ongoing |
Roughly $100 cash + 1 coaching hour + 1 comped membership a month. Adjust once we see entry numbers.
Judging: Published Up Front
- Fit to the brief: mood, tempo, length, lyric rules
- Production + mix quality: would a supervisor use it as-is?
- Sync-ready: clean ownership, metadata, instrumental available
- Edit-ability: clear sections, a clean ending, easy to cut
Critical: guardrails before launch
Judge on skill, never chance. Prize + chance + paid entry can make it a lottery in the eyes of the law. Skill judging with published criteria avoids that.
Write official rules: who can enter, deadlines, judging, prizes, and that entrants keep ownership of their songs. Have a lawyer glance at them, since entry is tied to a paid membership.
"Pitch priority" ≠ guaranteed placement. Say so in the rules. Over-promising here would hurt trust with artists and buyers.
Lifetime memberships add up. Keep them rare (quarterly at most).
Cash prizes may need tax reporting if one person wins a lot in a year. Ask their accountant.

How We Attract Them · Funnels
Marketing Funnels
One funnel for now: artists. It turns a viewer into a member, then a student, then a catalog artist. (The B2B funnel is parked on the Organizations page.)
The Artist Funnel
Step 1
Find
YouTube video, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or Google search.
Step 2
Free Checklist
"The Sync-Ready Checklist": metadata, splits, PRO registration, instrumentals, stems. Captures the email.
Step 3
Free Lunch & Listen
Email invites them to attend live this Friday.
Step 4
Join or Enroll
Membership, then the Sync-Ready course.
Critical: tracking first
Use trackable links (UTM or Bitly) on every YouTube description and post before launch. Otherwise we can't tell which videos bring in paying members.
How We Attract Them · Outreach

|---|---|
| Past consult + class clients | Personal invite to the membership. Founding-member price. |
| Songwriter groups, music schools, producer communities | Offer a free guest workshop → link to checklist |

Who This Is For · Artists
Artists
Artists who want their music placed in film, TV and ads. This is the side we're growing now.
Idea Spotlight
The biggest growth is in artists who don't know sync is a career yet. They have songs sitting unused. We can show them a path.
Two Kinds Of Artists
Sync beginners
Musicians who didn't know sync is a career path. They have finished songs and no idea those songs could earn them money in TV, film or ads.
Experienced sync-ers
More seasoned musicians who know sync exists. They need structure, honest feedback and a real path to being pitched.
What Each One Needs
| Audience | What they want | What worries them | Where they are | First step we offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Experienced sync-ers | Placements and feedback they can trust | Pay-to-pitch scams, wasted money | YouTube, TikTok, songwriter groups | Free Lunch & Listen |
| Sync beginners | Income from music they already made | "This isn't for someone like me" | TikTok, IG, YouTube Shorts | Free Sync 101 starter + checklist |

What Matters
- YouTube has been quiet for 5 years, but they keep recording. A 2023 Lunch & Listen and a 2024 workshop are on the channel as hidden (unlisted) videos. Making recordings public is the fastest content win.
- The podcast stopped in December 2020.
- There's no email capture anywhere. Add the free checklist to Linktree and point the Lunch & Listen link to the booking page.
Still Needed
- Last 90 days of analytics from TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Studio: reach, views, saves, audience age and location
- Patreon members per tier, to know current monthly income
- Email list size, if any
Public data only. Post dates, per-video views and audience details are visible only to the account owner.

From the Social Audit, October 17, 2026.
12-Month Projection
Based on our own averages so far: new followers per post, and the share of followers who become patrons. At an easy pace of 2 TikToks and 2 IG posts a week, and 2 YouTube videos a month.
| Platform | Now | Avg per post | Posts in 12 months | In 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | 3,175 | ~22 followers | 104 | ~5,450 |
| 491 | ~7 followers | 104 | ~1,220 | |
| YouTube | 140 | ~7 subscribers · ~197 views | 24 | ~310 subscribers · ~4,700 new views |
| Social total | 3,806 | ~6,980 (+83%) | ||
| Patreon | 55 | 1.4% of followers become patrons | ~100 (+80%) | |
Social growth here is a revenue goal: more engaged followers means more patrons. It isn't the authority signal for organizations. Averages are lifetime totals divided by posts, so they don't show which posts did the work. Check against real numbers after 90 days.

When ready
Phase 2: Organizations
- When the signs on Organizations are met: discovery call on their B2B work
- Then build the corporate plan
Who This Is For · Organizations
Organizations
Organizations come after the artist side is running. This page covers when to start and what B2B outreach will likely need.
When To Start
Build the B2B strategy once the artist side is running. By then there's steady content, a track record and artists ready to place.
Signs It's Time
- The artist growth path is 80% developed and launched
- Patreon has grown 80% (55 → about 100 members)
- Our placements are public: credits and case studies published where organizations can find them
How To Build The B2B Strategy
1 · Review
B2B discovery session
Sit down with Dawn and Beth. Map current clients, rates and how work comes in today.
2 · Choose
Pick 1–2 offers to lead with
Clearance is likely the easiest start. Supervision and catalog licensing can follow.
3 · Prepare
Build the outreach basics
See the list below.
4 · Reach out
Contact a short target list
Personal messages, tracked, with two follow-ups.
5 · Adjust
Review after 60 days
Keep what gets replies. Drop what doesn't.
What Outreach Will Likely Need
- A clear section of the website for organization lead gen
- A proof pack: credits (including the ABC library work) and 2–3 short case studies
- A catalog reel: short clips of pre-cleared songs, sorted by mood and genre
- A target list of 20–30 people
- Active LinkedIn profiles for Dawn and Beth
- A simple tracking sheet for contacts and follow-ups
Who They Are
| Who | What they want | What worries them | Where they are |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filmmakers, editors, networks, brands | Cleared, usable music, fast | Legal risk, missed deadlines | Referrals, LinkedIn, Google |
Likely Offers
| Offer | For | Pricing model |
|---|---|---|
| Music clearance Easy start | Filmmakers, docs, video podcasts, brands | Per project |
| Music supervision | Indie film, docs, series | Project fee, then retainer for repeat clients |
| Catalog licensing | Editors, promo teams, game studios, agencies | Per use, or annual deal |
| Publishing administration | Songwriters with active catalogs | % of collections |
