Most musicians think they need more fans, more releases, or more hustle.
The real issue? One of four critical jobs around your music isn’t getting done, and it’s costing you every month.
In this free 60-minute masterclass, we’ll show you which one is capping your income and exactly what to do about it first.
Paid to Make Music
Masterclass
This is for you if you’ve released music and it’s already brought in money, from streams, licensing, gigs, production clients, teaching, or royalties.
If you’re still finishing your first songs, this one isn’t built for you yet.
“So the music that’s already making money can help fund the music you want to make next.”
Andrea Olson, Owner Produce Like A Boss
You learned how to make the music.
Maybe you’ve released music you’re proud of.
Maybe you have a hard drive full of songs waiting for their turn.
Maybe you already have streams, clients, shows, placements or people telling you your music mattered to them.
But there’s a question nobody really teaches you how to answer:
What is all of this building toward?
Because making the music and building a career around the music are not the same thing.
And if the second part has always felt harder to see...
I built MAPS for you.
They have a “what am I supposed to be working on right now?” problem.
It all matters.
It just doesn’t all matter right now.
MAPS gives you a way to see the whole career without trying to work on the whole career at once.
And once you see it, something that has felt very complicated starts getting a lot simpler.
I’ll show you how inside the masterclass.
I’m Andrea Olson, owner of Produce Like A Boss.
For years, I thought I was waiting for my music career to happen.
I was writing songs, recording albums, learning to produce and putting in the reps.
But underneath all that work, I was waiting.
Then I realized:
I thought I was waiting for something.
I didn’t realize I was building something.
Today I own my masters, publishing and copyrights.
My catalog has more than 1.5 million streams, and I’ve built a six-figure music career through licensing, producing and creating music for businesses.
Almost none of that income comes from streaming.
Because I didn’t get here when somebody finally picked me.
I got here when I finally understood what had to be built around the music.
That became MAPS.
And it’s what I wish somebody had shown me years earlier.
Here’s the realization that changed the way I saw being independent.
A traditional artist wasn’t expected to make the music and somehow magically know how to do everything around it.
There were people handling different jobs.
Going independent gives you more control.
But it doesn’t make those jobs disappear.
It just means you need a different way to handle them.
That’s why I built MAPS.
Four parts.
One way to see your entire music career.
And there’s a good chance one of those four parts explains why you’ve been working this hard without feeling like everything is adding up.
Inside the masterclass, I’ll show you what the four parts are, how they work together, and help you see which one needs your attention next.
What if you already have enough to make a meaningful next move...
but you can’t see which move it is?
That’s why I don’t want you leaving this masterclass with another giant to-do list.
I want you leaving able to look at your own music career and say:
That.
That’s where I need to focus next.
That’s the clarity MAPS is built to give you.
In the last session, I asked:
“What would make you look back a year from now and say, ‘That was a successful year for my music?’”
The answers were all different.
That’s exactly the point.
There is no universal finish line.
But once you know yours, MAPS helps you see what has to support it.
The music is.
When I asked that same room why earning from music mattered, nobody told me they wanted a Lamborghini.
They said:
And then somebody wrote:
“Music funds more music. Gotta write that down.”
Exactly.
That’s why this matters.
The goal isn’t to turn you into a full-time administrator, marketer or content creator.
It’s to build enough around the music that the music gets to keep going.
Thanks to your videos, I’m immediately moving. I just compiled my catalog of 150 unreleased songs.
MAPS is a complete system for a productive musician who wants to earn money from their creative output.
The first thing I know now is how to own my music. I also learned I can be my own publisher and don’t need an LLC to start out.
I knew I would not have anywhere finished songs because I’m at the beginning stages of writing the musical. However, this is super helpful to organize and motivate me to move the process along.
I learn something from every session. Knowing I’m going down the right path does a lot for my peace of mind.
I can’t wait to do this catalogue deep dive! So helpful
And you’re ready to stop asking:
“What am I supposed to be doing?”
And start knowing why you’re doing it.
You’ll also score yourself on all four parts, and leave with a number that tells you where to start.
That part only happens in the room.You don’t need to fix your entire music career in an hour.
You need to finally see it.
The masterclass shows you the four jobs you need to build a successful career in music.
Show up prepared, put what you learn into action, and keep moving afterward.
Tell us about your music, and my team builds the first part of your personal Artist File before the Masterclass begins.
Revisit the four jobs and work through the ideas at your own pace.
A 30-minute method for moving from a blank session into creative momentum.
It isn’t another lesson.
It’s your music. Your situation. Your next move.
Now let’s figure out what it’s building toward.
You don’t need to start over.
You don’t need another random strategy.
You need a way to see the whole thing clearly enough to know what comes next.
That’s MAPS.
I’ll show you how it works.
