The Dollar-A-Day Music Channel: How an Air Force Veteran, Lifelong Lover, and AI Entrepreneur Built PulseNexis One Song at a Time

Some people chase a big break. Chris Baker built one a dollar a day. He grew up on the Monterey Bay coastline, served in the Air Force from Turkey to Germany, reinvented himself more times than he can count, and never let go of the one thing that followed him everywhere: music. The Dollar-A-Day Music Channel is the story of how a lifelong music lover and Air Force veteran taught himself technology, embraced AI as a creative tool rather than a shortcut, and built PulseNexis an independent music operation - on a budget most people spend on coffee. But this is more than a memoir. It's a working playbook. In Part One, Chris tells the honest version: the moves, the failures, the reinventions, and the trap he fell into chasing the wrong numbers. In Part Two, he hands you the system how to find a sound you can't stop playing, how to run lean on roughly a dollar a day, how to make thumbnails for free, how to build a shorts funnel that actually converts, how to read your own analytics without fooling yourself, and a 30-day lean start you can run beginning tomorrow. Whether you're a creator trying to turn passion into income, a veteran starting a second act, or anyone who's ever been told their dream came too late this book proves you don't need a fortune or a record deal. You need a sound, a system, and the discipline to keep showing up. Build something real. Start with a dollar.
