Yea I got some growth on BeatStars edited cool artwork, hashtags, but it was people on BeatStars doing like 10 beats for a dollar. I ended up posting like 165 beats in less than a year using KZfaq when I did it and IG I just said f it, the quality wasn’t even good for guys that were doing that. I would say the saturation helped them so that’s good. It’s just hard to compete with tha. So I made my own website. I figured if I barely made money on BeatStars I might as well just bring traffic into my own website where I can customize it more and run more ads. Ultimately you gotta do what works for you. Maybe blowup on TikTok or something or draw in traffic from KZfaq like cash money AP did before he blew up. I like what the guy did with airbit, that technique with the free beats does help. I did a buy 3 get 1 free, free beat packs etc.

Improvement in production comes from many places, but I find that it's a lot easier to discover new tools to add to your tool belt when you're doing a beat every day. Each new track is an opportunity to try something different, which could potentially lead to a more unique sound. I also love to imagine how it feels to find a new producer you enjoy and they have a massive back catalogue you can listen to. Every day it gets bigger and better!

I'm digging your insight and appreciate you posting it. I've loved music all my life. I started as a DJ but that just made me want to produce more. I got laid off during the pandemic and went all in. For 2 years I hit it hard. I like r&b and electronic. Prince is my main influence. I found myself often wondering what I was doing wrong. I found watching interviews and rehearsal footage was a good way to find out how people made it. He often said he made a song a day, so I set the goal to do the same. I have a robust catalog and was somewhat clueless to the business side. I'm learning through videos like this one you did. Thank you for your Vid. Looking forward to learning more.

Great video. I'm glad you stumbled upon a channel with less subs. Like you said, most people say you have a "leg up" and are able to sell beats because you have a bigger channel and more exposure. Seeing someone on the come up shows the good with the bad. Also, I'm starting to realize that we a music creators need to think beyond the music and think of our art as content. Make the music but market it like content.
