That intro was pure Gold 😂 did get me a little bit...

Step 1 - Make fire beats. Step 2 - Convince your neighbors that the constant bass drops are the soundtrack of success, not a new earthquake season

Simple doesn’t mean easy 💯💯 so many paths to success are super simple, but not easy

As a rapper, I would be searching for ‘exclusive beats’ only on beatstars, or $30 and below beat leases. Your $32 a lease is less attractive than say $25-$29.99 a lease. I think $32 is odd, I would go to $30 or go up to $35. But if you list a beat at say $62 I’m not ever gonna purchase it. I want the numbers to be rounded up or down, not just somewhere in the middle. I also never ever search for specific rapper type beats. Idk why any producer would use a rapper’s name in their title because that’s not how I ever search for beats. I search for ‘no melody type beats’ or sad emo type beat, but never do I search by the rapper’s name. In my honest opinion, ‘sad emo type beat’ would get much more hits or views than say ‘lil peep type beat’ cuz I never search for those even if I want similar sounding type beats it’s just not on my mind to look up certain artists by name but more by the genre they are in. I guess it’s like searching for a diddy type beat as opposed to a bad boy type beat. I just wanted to let you know as someone who tries to rap/produce/dj and also just a viewer of your content, this is how I search for beats and I look up instrumentals every day, the ones that stick out that I will remember are the beats that have their own title like “Streetlights” or “Diss track freestyle instrumental” again, it wouldn’t make any difference to add lil uzi in the title, just the type of beat it is like diss track or freestyle etc. I hope this helps someone with how they should go about listing their tracks online. ❤ also always include a link don’t just have an IG name listed and say contact me there. I really hate that. A lot of us don’t even want to use IG at all. I also never want to purchase beats thru IG or PayPal or anything else but a certain beat website. Asking anyone to cash app you and you’ll email them beats that’s not protecting me on my end that I will even receive any beats ❤

Also I think you need to stream live and do live chats and cook ups that’s something you don’t currently offer or do. Streaming is the future it always has been.

When I cook enjoy throwing wet Valhalla Reverb on my 808 and 7 SoundGoodizers on the master. Makes everything spicy

@@DJPain1 could you tell me how many beats i should be posting a day if im just starting putting stuff online

[@DJPain1]

@@ajvstvision there’s no magic number. Your overall system is what matters.

[@akashaur]

Does uploading beats to streaming services disqualify then from being sold exclusively?

[@DJPain1]

@@akashaur no, but I would remove them from streaming if I did that
