The last time I sold a beat was 2016. The whole reason I started making beats was to have something to rap to. Now I think it’s coming full circle for me to consider that my beats are moreso for myself and my vocal timbre than anyone else’s. Sure, with that mindset, I won’t make any money from this; but, I have a distinct sound when you pair my vocals with my beats. That, I think, will get me farther than selling a lease here and there will.

I'm in tears @Dj Pain 1. I mines well put in my application also at McDonald's!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏💯❤️✌️

What a moron and a loser to tell someone to quit doing something they love and are successful at making a profit from. He's either a troll or a hater (probably both). Placements or no placements, there is always a lane for someone to make money in this industry...

Do we know how to manifest you quit cuz you want to quit

They hate you and you're a 🐐

Are you still in the capital? I know my money is tapped right now. I haven’t got to the point that you’re at yet to be stable through the bad times

Thanks for all your honest feedback D.J. Pain 1 we really appreciate and value your input on this music journey much love and success and over all happiness to you ❤🎉

He's trippin. You have some of the coldest beats on youtube for sure. Your spot in the beatmaking/selling game is solidified. The hate is real.

Perfect content I have been waiting for this type of feedback for a while.

I appreciate you posting this, I’ve been in the insurance biz many years and ready to retire from it and focus on music, this helps me with my decision. I’m nervous about it, but I feel I have to try, I’ve put it off long enough. I don’t know if you do private consultations, but I’d love to buy some time if you do.

Definitely agree with your ending statement. A lot of people want max level results, but put in minimum effort towards their craft

SMACK

That part. You gotta love it!!!

whats the verdict? ive made like 150 bucks this month of leases, not much but something feel like overall world is just poor right now so spending on beats can be hard maybe

Casually cooks a banger like we wont notice mid video 😂💪

Facts, as always inspiring!

I run a music feedback stream on twitch as one of my side hustles. I go live, people sub or tip for feedback, I get exposed to a lot of music and have to think critically about what I'm hearing so it keeps me sharp. Something I notice though about hosting a music feedback stream is that the VAST majority of producers sincerely do want success but are simply not working towards their goals in any meaningful way. I offer this advice a lot: make a plan, and start walking towards the finish line. You'll get there some day. Or you won't, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it your best.

Helpful as always. Thanks

I have been a part of this amazing community/radio station called "PLAN A RADIO". I've been extremely active in their discord and on in there daily live videos and literally have been gaining work daily from new artists on the regular

Get sum placements why let my Comment Affect little old you, I'm a figment of your imagination lol Rap is Dead.

Bum ass u got all the connections with dame an still no number one hits tell dame to get you placements 😂 u got all that equipment an still no placements give it up an that Producer u mentioned who made 200k.in a year is only 1 producer 🤣there's thousands of producers who ain't even making a 100 a month selling beats 😭

Rap is Joke literally Rap is like parody who takes seriously anymore , APain1 don't be hott an bothered cause my Views touched a Nerve it's ok Rap as u know it will never be the same ,so cry me a river when your sales plummet. Hey don't be mad get a placement with Rick Ross or J.cole 😭 you'll Never Ever get a Placement with Rick Ross or J Cole or Drake right now u don't have Connections ur a d class beatmaker with little to any notoriety. This channel don't even get views lol

Also in addition to what DJPain said here is are some more ways to make money: - Audiomack Monetization Program - Facebook TikTok KZbin Content ID - Amazon Influencer Program (not the same as Amazon affiliate program) - Sell Services (Custom Beats, Mixing, Mastering, Etc.) - Brand Partnerships

I'm never going to stop making beats, so i might as well upload them and get in where i fit in 💪🏾

This has been one of my favorite videos by you so far this year bro. man I'm annoyed and happy/sad that people are saying this because I'm seeing producers who are now leaving and because of this I'm actually getting a lot of their customers. This has happen a lot this year. If only they committed longer.......

Thanks!
