[@MakePopMusic]

[@curlyq6137]

Did you major in music production in college?

[@MakePopMusic]

Non-music related degree. Thanks for watching!

[@MaseratiSparks]

Im getting ready to go fulltime too with everything. Ive been generating some good passive from my sample packs and beats i sell but now im about to take it to the next level.

[@mgmthegrand]

Can you make the Full Time Formula guide available again? The link doesn't work. FYI: I just subscribed...

[@DanzelDangleben]

id like the guide myself as well!

[@WILMBeats]

Watched this 5 years later. Inspiring story! I’m a 17 year old producer, who wants to do this. Thank you for everything Austin! Been Watching make pop music for a long time now and it’s very helpful!😊

[@kidstax]

Salute bro, I went full time jan of 2017 and it wasn't a easy ride (still isn't lol).

[@DanzelDangleben]

ive been a music producer, artist and musician playing in band for about 5 years... but i playing Bouyon Music here in Comm. of Dominica(I'm one of the top producers in my country making beats for artists and bands). This month i've decided to do pop and other stuff that i can, your videos help alot, thanks for that. but honestly, idk how to get out in the pop industry, where do i look for clients, put my stuff for artists to buy them, etc.

[@jamesstrazza6941]

I appreciate the story. I feel like I’m approaching a similar area in my life where I have steady work but need to kick it up a notch. I’m very interested in contributing to this platform, gonna post my first vid soon! happy to see others succeeding, looking forward to more updates and advice, Cheers!

[@MakePopMusic]

KZbin is a great platform to get work! Here's a video that I made (Dan) on another channel about this topic... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbNkGp4o9yrmas

[@jamesstrazza6941]

awesome, i think i saw this when it first came out. Good time for a rewatch, thanks

[@MakePopMusic]

You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching! Hope it helps

[@sayimsick]

What an inspiring story! You're a great example of what's possible in today's music industry. Thanks, Austin.

[@fangmusicofficial]

Hey Austin! Could you do a tutorial on making an interesting build up. I really liked the build up in one of your recent works with Aesthetic called “Happy Again”.

[@MakePopMusic]

We'll put it on the list. Thanks for watching! -Dan

[@fangmusicofficial]

Make Pop Music Thank you! 😀

[@MakePopMusic]

Absolutely!

[@vaibhavsingh7507]

Thanks austin! Your videos have really helped me to level up my work! Really! Thanks a lot and all the very best man!

[@davidrios9033]

Man, I graduate next year from audio production with no idea how to get clients. Thanks to this video now I know what to do. Thanks for taking the time to share these tips. Really appreciate it.

[@MakePopMusic]

Congrats on your upcoming graduation! And thanks for watching the video. We have a playlist here on the channel with some extra videos on marketing/promoting your services. We'll have more coming soon! In your last year at audio school, I'd recommend focusing on putting together a portfolio (even if it's just 2-3 tunes). Where are you based David? What school are you attending?

[@davidrios9033]

Make Pop Music right now I'm in Austin, TX attending The Art Institute of Austin

[@brisvegan89]

Thanks for sharing your story

[@panorama_mastering]

Great video Austin! Thanks for sharing your story!

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you Nick!

[@davenellessen]

hey austin i know this video is 4 years old so it's no surprise the formula guide link doesn't work anymore haha, but i was wondering if you still have it somewhere? :) awesome content keep it up!

[@nunomalo1705]

Austin, thank you for sharing your story. Inspiring, and also very practical. Great advice.

[@ohgee4396]

Dude I totally get you. I'm new to pop and just requested to join the group after trying to reference some top 40 stuff and make some tracks. The effects are super complex to me. Im better at listening to chord progressions and melodies because I know theory. Great video.

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks for watching Oh Gee! Effects can get a little crazy, but can all be learned over time.

[@330Buckeye]

Best of luck to you. Great video, i'm on the same path as you (in my own way of course lol) Thank you for sharing.

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks for watching T Lamar! And congrats on your journey - keep at it!

[@330Buckeye]

Thank you very much!

[@The321shutdown]

Great advice as always austin! You're such an inspiration! Go kick 2018's ass!

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks for watching Rein!

[@georgegleeson4566]

Great video man! Really good advice.

[@GarrettMusic1]

This is so inspiring, thank you for sharing this!!

[@cdca797]

Great point of view, i still try to be a full time producer but i only can sell my tracks on third party websites so i dont have client which is kind difficult to me to start on my own

[@saintfrancisbeats9639]

Hey man, your story is really inspiring. I am making hip-hop/trap beats. My plate is full as well, I am in the Navy and am currently deployed. But I am still workin on making beats. I do want to move into actually producing but it is hard trying to juggle everything. But it is do able as you have shown that you was even in college and doing music. Thanks for the motivation.

[@MakePopMusic]

Appreciate your service man! Glad that the video helped!

[@AZODi]

Great informative story Austin!

[@eliassjobloaam]

You are awesome! Upload more videos!

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks for watching Ivar! We have a lot more on the way :)

[@brockbarcus1202]

This was very informative and very encouraging. I watch a lot of different channels that talk about music production and the business. I don’t think I’ve watched a video yet that broke down the path from beginning to current of how someone went full time WITH great application points for us. Thanks for the video! Also FYI - link for the document doesn’t work.

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you! We will check the link!

[@coldmotivations]

Thank you for sharing your story... ✌ Learned a lot from your Experience 🙌

[@ankeshdeva1641]

You are awesome brother ♥️♥️♥️

[@Born2WinBIg77]

Thank you for your Video!! You have inspired me to work towards taking the leap to working full time. Im a Hip Hop producer and DJ from NYC, seeking to work full time and its really hard finding: CONSISTENT PAID CLIENTS. I appreciate your feedback. PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS!!

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks for watching! Glad that that video inspired you to take the leap. Client consistency just comes with time. At some point you get to where your repeat clients + new clients will keep ya full time. Good luck to ya!

[@TheDo3boy]

Good Vid man

[@mattpetello]

Great story!

[@nextl3v3l99]

Please make a video about how to find a manager and producers to work with.

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks for watching! Just to clarify... do you mean how an artist can find a manager and producer? Or do you mean how a producer can find a manger?

[@nextl3v3l99]

Make Pop Music my apologies, I meant how an Artist can find managers and producers to work with and how much that costs and how that works how to contact them etc etc.

[@karmeleonmusic5654]

Hi you mention the Oh Gee forum and something called Camera Meizel, could you please elaborate on these, and/or put a link, or spell it for us? Can't find anything online doing a search as I'm not sure how it's pronounced. Thanks!

[@MrDanBartonMusic]

Full Time Formula is no longer live. Any chance you could re-post that link Austin?

[@ezramemphis]

Ok so I’m 14 and really getting into music. Where should I go when I turn 18 to really have a secure job during college

[@brandibooth]

Awesome

[@lytemusicofficial]

Link not working anymore? :(

[@JoeyAndersonMusicProducer]

Definitely good advice. It's like Nike.... Just Do It. If they don't start they have already failed.

[@MakePopMusic]

100% Joey! Thanks for watching man!

[@JoeyAndersonMusicProducer]

Make Pop Music Hey Bro, I have a biz proposition for ya. How do I email ya

[@MakePopMusic]

Shoot me a PM on Facebook... Daniel Grimmett

[@shubhamagarwal5974]

Hi, the link to the guide is not working. Could you please see into that?

[@twkarp]

Are you guys gonna make new content again? You're really one of the most underappreciated production channels on KZbin.

[@MakePopMusic]

We appreciate that compliment! Thank you so much. For real! And we plan on getting back to 2-3 videos per week very soon!

[@brookeriso7528]

So what did you go to college for? What was your major? Did it have to do with music?

[@MakePopMusic]

Secondary English Education. Nothing to do with music at all :D

[@Green-cc4kf]

wow!

[@brisvegan89]

It'd be great if you could do a video with a bit more info about the transition to full time and quadrupling your income. For instance, you mentioned having all of this time to promote yourself - but where?

[@austinhullmusic]

We definitely will be! As I said in the video, this is more of a story-time where I just discussed how I went full time and when I did. As far as actual tips, methods, marketing, etc, that is future content that we will be making. We have a video line up for within the next week that is 3 tips to getting more clients online and we will be doing some other segments for stuff like that!

[@zephyrkhambatta]

❤️🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻❤️

[@IconicMadeThat]

just curious what did you major in while you were in college?? What was your degree

[@MakePopMusic]

I majored in English!

[@BerrisProds]

cant download the sheet

[@xothanpuiakhiangte8951]

Whats the song used in the intro?

[@faheemgafoor8489]

Hello admin. I found out about your Facebook group called Make Pop Music though your KZbin. I took a break from FB for sometime as I was busy with uni but when I came back, I was blocked from the group. I don’t know what I did wrong. Maybe was it because I was inactive? Thank you for reading.

[@MakePopMusic]

Hey there Faheem! We will take a look into that for you. Thanks for watching the video!

[@faheemgafoor8489]

Make Pop Music Thank you! I forgot to mention that my Facebook name is Ginger Jin, my bad.

[@starsoflight]

What did you major in?

[@austinhullmusic]

Secondary Education in English (:

[@MarkHimley]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your story, it’s super inspiring! Just recently joined the Facebook group and I’m already learning a ton, it’s such an awesome community!! Also I got a little laugh when you said that April 20th was the day you made the decision haha. Figured there would be a bunch of 4/20 comments

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks for watching Mark! Glad that you're getting a lot out of the group! -Dan

[@MemzBeats]

I got Pop Beats bro. How do I make 3800.00 a Month like you homie?

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks for watching Memz! Austin has a guide that you can download in the description. Also, check out danielgrimmett.com/class

[@MemzBeats]
