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.......

i made 15$ and it's cuz my friend bought one 😅

[@kkodeko]

thats pretty good, its rare to find a friend interested in making music

Honestly, that’s solid. Let’s say your friend group is 100 and 1 out of that 100 bought. Now scale that up to your entire state or city population. Wegotthis

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

Give up man! It didn’t work out for me so nobody else can do it! 😂😂 This narrative going around imo is a way to make people give up and it’ll probably work on some low self esteem people. End of the day perseverance brings rewards

[@superrrnova1986]

I suppose it's a marketplace and trends come and go. Pain has obviously been doing this a while, so he must be adaptive. I personally shy away from the things the commenter mentioned as a lot of modern hip hop beats have a lot of similarities. I've never released a beat but make what I enjoy. I respect anyone enjoying their craft regardless of whether or not its financially profitable. People being negative are probably jaded producers who are jealous

for me beatstars has been hella weak, but my cashapp and apple pay been boomin. I'm finding that artists need producers they can trust and get to know for the long haul. I think they rather have that 1 on 1 interaction as opposed to just buying beats. Just my experience tho i speak for myself.

It ain't "Gona" work if you make wack beats and corny music. LONG LIVE RAP!!!

[@calebscalzo]

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.

@DJPain1 I just watched Industry Danes video on "How YTbers DESTROYED the producer community" I was curious on what your thoughts on this were. YT is just one platform in which producers can use to give tutorials on various things with music. He argues that the "anonymous" dont use the information that they watch or show proof of it on here, and he's very angry about it i guess. Anyways love your content. Thanks for being you bro. Keep doing you!!!

[@DJPain1]

I have no idea, not familiar with industry dane

[@tisbutascratch9374]

@@DJPain1 my apologies.

[@ghost-user559]

Dane doxes people and has emotional issues. He’s a very talented individual but he’s also fairly unhinged. Basically like many people in LA. Take the meat and spit out the bones. I think he’s just jealous that Pain and others have more followers despite Dane being on KZbin on and off for decades. Pain spits game, and Dane mostly just copes.

[@tisbutascratch9374]

@ghost-user559 i was watching the video because of the title and was curious....then while I'm listening to him, he gets angry at a dude who chimed in on his broadcast. I agree, man's got issues....

[@ghost-user559]

@@tisbutascratch9374 Yeah I lived in LA for ten years, and he’s very representative of what the Entertainment Industry is like. Extremely talented Actors, Producers, Directors, Musicians, almost all of which are not all there. He ghost wrote for a bunch of celebrities, but never ended up making a name for himself, just money. So he’s very talented and very bitter. And he said he grew up very hood, and his behavior does seem to kind of reflect that. He will go from super friendly to spending 4 hours ranting at someone. The real reason he doesn’t like anonymous people is that he can’t doxx and bully them. Makes the people around him easier to control and coerce when he knows who they are to defame them later. One guy who tried to take one of his courses got on his bad side, and the first thing he said he would do is post his id and address lol. But like I said, still is worth a listen for some insight into music and the industry when he’s focused on that. Basically just ignore the person and accept the insight, like we have to do with most art nowadays.
