      Forreal people think I’m “boring” or don’t do much but since I produce, mix, master, record, write, sing, rap, & engineer, all my own shit I spend hours on end just sitting in my room making music & perfecting little imperfections & sounds in mixes. The hours of time spent doing that is like therapy to me at this point. Gotta put those 10,000 hours in, then do it again.

I been working ever since, but back then I didn’t make any money off my music & I just sold weed so I made it work. now I actually make money off my music (only a couple hundred a month, no where near what I was making in the streets) but it’s funny I feel better about the $$ from my music then I have ever felt from a job or the streets.

    Few months of consistently posting Drill / Trap / Hip hop beats which to be honest is my second love. I ignored my first love which is actually for old school reggae beats as I figured the online market isn't there so much. Just so happened to throw a loose reggae beat out under the name Bob Marley Type Beat and got my highest amount in sales and views within a week (still very moderate). MAKE WHAT YOU LIKE. Point blank. Or am I wrong?

    Very good answer when he says he has to give it up to God and I would also say it has to do with the individual also. This man can only motivate you so much you have to motivate yourself to the point where you rise above everything. Saying the industry is saturated is it easy way to make an excuse why you failed. In certain industries saturation is a true problem. I would say rhyming is more saturated than beat making by far. Marijuana is going to be the most saturated industry in the world in a second so I definitely know what I'm talking about. but even in a saturated industry If You're Something Special you can Rise Above the Rest especially like he said with the grace of God

    Makes no sense at all. He doesnt explain how he got his "fanbase". He said he uses instagram, but there is barely any beat posted on his ig. He also doesnt dm, how did you build the initial following you talk about ? Either he's capping or he connected with most of his customers irl, which isnt possible for most producers, specially those that arent from usa.

    If You Can Convince Someone In your Support Group to Do The Administration types of Marketing of Behalf of The Things You Say You Can Improve On... That May Free Up More Time For You To Just Be PRODUCT PRODUCTIVE. Anyone Can Be Taught to use the computer/Navigate to a specific Task, They Just Need The Will And Inspiration.

      I disagree. This just makes you lazier and less knowledgeable and if those people don’t do their job well or if they do it well but suddenly quit, you’ve just screwed yourself. Good music business admins are REALLY rare. The good ones often know their value.

    I love making music.
    But $65,000.00 in a year is not enough money to quit a job.
    I understand most ppl don't make anywhere near that.
    I make well over that annually, and it's still a struggle out here
    I Rig megastages for major music festivals and live events around the world and would never quit my job unless I made 3 times the income from beat sells.

      When I started selling beats on SoundCloud it only lets u upload mp3 or whatever so for each individual beat that I sold I would have to do all the work getting stems ect uploaded to google drive to send to people each time but for my website it lets me upload all that so when someone buys from the website it’s already on there and sends it to them itself instead of me having to do it each time I sell a beat

    Now that my sales are going up and I am promoting and posting more actively, I have noticed that a lot of my instrumentals have been uploaded as is directly to distributors, so my work, without any edits is on Spotify, Apple Music etc. Under someone else’s name, these profiles who are doing this have no online presence, it’s almost like it’s being done by bots… is anyone else having this issue?
