Introducing the “DIY LABEL RELEASE PLAN” COURSE
Hi, I’m Benjamin Groff, a 30+ year music industry veteran and author of Amazon best seller, “How Do I Get A Record Deal? Sign Yourself!” My latest course, the DIY Label Release Plan takes all the frustrating guess work out of releasing your own music. With over 70+ highly detailed video modules, the course provides a real and proven plan to launch your important artist project, for which you’ve spent so much time, effort, hard work and love!
On that note, if there’s one overall mistake I commonly see with artists releasing their own music – it’s simply not having a plan. in fact, I even wrote a whole article on this subject for AWAL here. As an artist, you’ve spent months and even years fine tuning and developing your latest single, EP or album. The idea of “Hey, I’m just going to put this out and see what happens” is not a plan! So, let’s be real:
Don’t blow it!
Here’s the problem. Up until now, there hasn’t been a trusted DIY label release plan or step-by-step course, available for people like yourself to take the guesswork out of what to do when. And trust me, there’s a lot! Solution? Enter the DIY Label Release plan. Here’s how the course works.
You’ll start at 6 weeks away from the target release date of your music project. Then, week by week, you’ll find videos in the course to watch, telling you EXACTLY what needs to be done to set your release up for the best success!
The course provides virtually everything you’ll need to launch your music like a pro including in depth instruction on: DSP playlisting strategies, DIY marketing strategies, submission platform directories and tutorials, how to pitch for synchs, micro sync pitching, companies and strategies, a digital distributor overview, downloadable resources and all the tips & tricks that you might only learned after doing this process 100 times or more (which I have!). Yes, I’ve already done the “trial and error” work for you.
That’s right. The idea of “Let’s put it out there and we’ll see what happens” (which is most artists’ strategy) is simply…not a plan. It is however, a recipe to land yourself in the <1,000 streams Spotify purgatory. Let’s not take that path!
Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside…

The DIY Release Plan Origin Story
Nearly 10 years ago, I started signing artists and releasing my own label recordings, going in debt on paying productions, mixes, mastering, as well as marketing these releases with my own money. It was confusing and stressful, especially with literally no one to guide me, except my two good friends, “trial” & “error.”
In fact, I remember looking for a book or on-line course on “how to release your own music.” I was thinking to myself – there’s got to be a step-by-step tutorial somewhere, right? But, alas – nothing existed – and I’m pretty sure that’s still the case today!
In addition to this, back in the day when we were releasing our first projects, myself and my team realized we forgot to do so many things, or looking back what we could or should have done! It was literally like catching falling knives leading up to release day.
Sound familiar?
So instead of just “winging it,” I decided I needed a real system. And I had to be the one to create it. It had to be a plan that was written down, actionable, repeatable and in a format where I knew exactly what to do when. Once I had this plan, I could duplicate it and tailor it for every single artist release!
That’s what we did. And it started working!
GETTING THE RESULTS YOU DESERVE
To date, our label’s releases have cumulatively garnered nearly a half billion streams across platforms. In fact, we’re just closing in on a deal to sell two (yes that’s just “2”) of our singles for a half million dollars! We’ve also had major synchronization campaigns from Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Charmed, Viacom, Pandora and dozens of reality TV shows.
So, if you’re tired of the frustration, confusion (and sometimes literal real pain and suffering) witnessing your releases flounder or not living up to expectations, it’s likely that you might not have the right plan or tools – or a coach (aka a virtual pre-recorded “me”) to help guide you along the way….
ASK YOURSELF, IS RELEASING YOUR OWN MUSIC AND ACHIEVING SUCCESS FEELING MORE LIKE A STRUGGLE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS?
Do you find other “less talented” artists and lower quality songs receiving playlisting support and attention?
Does the idea of making TikTok videos and having to “do” social media make you nauseous ?
Do you feel lost, overwhelmed and unsure where to begin in setting up your music release?
Are you spending your last dollars every month on your artist project?
Do you even know if you’re on track to “set up” your record for success?
Are you frustrated looking at your streaming counts, not finding the audience and playlists that you know your music deserves?
If you answered “YES” to any of the above, or you have a burning desire for your next release to double, triple or 10x your previous results, then this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
YOU DESERVE TO ENJOY A FULFILLING CAREER AS AN ARTIST, RELEASING SONGS THAT PEOPLE (AND PLAYLISTERS, MUSIC SUPERVISORS, PUBLISHING & LABELS) LOVE.
So let me ask you, what difference would it make in your life to have a a proven, actual release plan right now, which can show you how to enjoy that career.
After releasing over 100 + music releases and working with the top professionals, executives and companies in the world, I’ve learned, seen and picked up their collective approach in A&Ring, marketing, setting up and releasing music.
Now, I’ve placed this priceless knowledge into a single course to ignite your success.
Here are just a few solutions waiting for you:
ACCELERATE YOUR SUCCESS
Shortcut your career progression by years!
Skip the frustrating grind of trial and error and plug your new music release into the workflow of the DIY Label Release plan.
GAIN CLARITY AND CONFIDENCE
Go from uncertain and insecure to knowing that you have the right plan and system that works for you.
UNLOCK A SUCCESS MINDSET
Go from being a frustrated artist to manifesting a version of you that’s 10x more successful than now.
Learn how to tune into “Success.FM” vs “this just isn’t working” so you can manifest your upward momentum.
YOUR SUCCESS = RINSE AND REPEAT
Once you have a plan that shows results, you can rinse, repeat and modify your plan for each release!
What worked on your last release and what didn’t? Now you can double down on the results and watch more wins stack up.

"Outside of the studio, Benjamin’s efforts have generated major synchs and playlist adds, which paired with his strategic marketing, has helped to broadened my fan base. As I continue to evolve, I celebrate how his wisdom, feedback and support have been such a massive influence on me. I know I wouldn’t be the artist or even the man I am today without him in my corner. "
How is the DIY LABEL RELEASE course different?
When it comes to releasing your own music, in my experience, there hasn’t been a comprehensive course such as the DIY Label Release Plan! Period. Not only does the DIY Label Release Plan offer you a systematic, week-by-week and then a day-by-day plan (closer to release) – but these video modules also include invaluable insights on how to artistically and completely S T A N D O U T from the nearly 1 million music releases per week (that number is not an exaggeration!).
First, we need to make sure that your success starts with the #1 most important element: THE MUSIC and your ARTISTRY. That’s why there’s an additional section of the course designed to help create (and in some cases, provide you with the motivation and courage) to develop your own AUTHENTIC artist path. You need to be authentically YOU. That’s right – forging your own sonic identity and also importantly – what you stand for – is 100% crucial to your artist path. Having worked with over 100 + hitmakers and artists over my 30-year career, I can testify to that importance.
Bonus! It’s a full-time job just keeping up with strategies, platforms, trends and best practices. That’s why your purchase of the DIY Label Release Plan includes all future updated video modules uploaded throughout the year at no extra cost.
The above is why I’m so confident this course is so different. You’ll be getting the DIY Label Release Plan from someone who’s really doing it and spending their own money on each release. This is different from, say what I would call an “armchair expert” aka someone who’s never really done it before.
Lastly, while I have clients who regularly receive millions of streams and enjoying robust royalties, I also regularly work with new artists, looking to get a foothold at the beginning of their career, just like you. I know what it’s like. I’ve been there and done that, and I know the struggle. With new artists especially, I’m constantly on the look-out on how to exponentiate their success and get to the next level.
In other words – I’m in it with you.

A great step-by-step roadmap
SO, WHO AM I TO TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS AND RELEASING RECORDS?
Hi, I’m Benjamin Groff, a 30+ year music publishing veteran, charting songwriter and label owner.
Across my career I’ve worked with, signed, nurtured and supported some of the world’s best artists, as well as hit songwriters. Success leaves clues and through my relationships and experience, I’ve learned not only the secret sauce to writing hits and key perennial songs (which you can find more about in my Hit Songwriter Accelerator course), but also all the deep insights to A&R, marketing and release plans, which today’s artists and teams use to empower and ensure their releases have the best chance of success.
I’m not laying out my track record to show off, but to let you know I’ve been there, done that and worked with music icons to prove it.
Now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned over three decades (including 10 years of signing and releasing artists with my own money) in a first-of-its-kind course, which can be completed anytime and anywhere. This is your opportunity to shortcut your career success, get clarity on how to best plan for your artist success with a real plan, and get instant access to the strategies that myself and others use for successful artist releases and campaigns.
Speaking from someone who’s been told my own dreams were out of reach, there’s no feeling like accomplishing what everyone told you was impossible. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and insight with you, and I’ll see you on the charts, key playlists and in the spotlight you deserve.

When you’re chasing a career as a songwriter, you naturally place your faith in other people. Music college. Podcasts and books. Endless YouTube tutorials, etc… The problem is these “common sources” of wisdom offer what I consider “common knowledge.”
The professional level of coaching and insight you’ll find in this exclusive course is the opposite of common knowledge. It’s rare, tried, tested and qualified expertise that isn’t available anywhere else. This is because I’ve either developed these methods on my own or learned these epiphanies from the hundreds of hitmakers I’ve worked with. I guarantee it.
