How independent artists turn $5 a day on Meta Ads into 10,000+ monthly listeners.
The Method
Trusted by artists who've worked with
You're burning
money right now.
Every time you tap that little blue Boost button, Instagram pockets your $50 and hands you nothing you can scale. Here's what the two roads actually look like.
Boosted Post
Tap, swipe, pray. No targeting, no data, no follow-up.
→ Money gone. Audience gone. Lesson? Also gone.
Meta Ads · $5/Day
Real targeting, real pixels, real audiences you can scale.
→ Real targeting. Real data. Real fans you can rerun for $5 tomorrow.
What you'll learn.
8 chapters. 0 fluff. Every page is the system I run for paying clients — broken down so you can run it yourself before the weekend.

The 12-minute setup most artists skip — and pay for later.

Scaling Your Ads Without Burning Cash
When to push, when to duplicate, when to kill it. No guessing.
The Bonus Playbook: Engagement, Traffic & Video Views
Three campaigns I run for every artist client — copy them line for line.
From 200 streams
a month to 10,000+.
→ 90 days of $5 a day. The math is brutal.
Real artists.
Real results.
“I was dropping $300 on boosts every month and getting nothing. Ran the $5/day formula on my second single and pulled 14k monthly listeners in 60 days. Real fans. Real shazams. No cap.”
“Chris made the Meta side feel less scary. I'm an artist, not a marketer. Walked through it chapter by chapter and now my pixel is hot. Saved at least $1,200 I would've burned on boosts.”
“I came in skeptical because every guru sells the same recycled stuff. This was different. Specific. Indie-artist specific. The lookalike chapter alone was worth ten times the price.”
