A practical 30-day introduction to running a record label

Scott Orr’s guide organizes the work of building a record label into a 30-day program. Its topics span both creative decisions—such as defining an audience and finding artists to sign—and operational tasks, including royalties, contracts, album campaigns, distribution, and manufacturing vinyl, CDs, and cassettes. The book also covers pitching music to the press and includes downloadable templates, spreadsheets, and checklists. This breadth gives the guide a business-oriented view of independent label-building, connecting music discovery with the planning and logistics involved in releasing and promoting music.

  • People exploring how to establish and operate a record label
