Great Dan! and I am sure you guys put in a ton of time over the years to get this going. Over here our biggest problem has always been the folks that think working on this one hour a week is going to get them what they want, as you know that's not the case and its a long road but worth it every step of the way if you are prepared to put in, have a great one and happy holidays to all.

[@darklabelmusic]

🚨Hey friends… We recently created "The Producer Files" to provide producer-songwriters with business strategies from the trenches, in-depth classes (not on KZbin), and interviews where producers share how they make a living. It's all 100% free. You can learn more here: rb.gy/wybbxr

Thanks for subscribing Taylor! Appreciate ya!

[@spencedeezy]

Dude thank you so much for sharing this strategy! I have had a similar vision to create a business like this for a while and this video has helped me put context to the idea. Awesome stuff!

[@SuperCMusic]

you nailed this! this is exactly where the money is.

[@darklabelmusic]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate ya

[@jacksp8de]

I want to do something like this. It’s hard because I’m a one man band combining my music and film services. If you had to start over from scratch today, how would you go about it? I’m just in the setup stage so I would like to talk to you about this if possible, thanks

[@darklabelmusic]

Hey Jack - got your app and we can talk more about this on your call, for sure. It's fine that you're a one man show - most are. I was too for the first 1.5 years of my business. Because my job is to help other producers do this I technically do go through the process of "starting from scratch today" everyday, lol. Just for other people. Process is the same - just the platforms are different. We still have to create a brand, a good offer, and figure out a way to get it in front of people. Those are the foundations for business since the beginning of time. Chat with ya soon.

[@devan_music]

Great info, looking forward to other videos! Keep it up Daniel.

[@darklabelmusic]

Thanks for watching Devan! More coming soon :)

Man! This is gold! Do you still have the consulting program we talked about a while ago? I really need it! Business is starting to grow so I gotta do this the right way!

[@darklabelmusic]

Hey Douglas! Hope you've been well. Glad things are growing! The consulting program is still alive a doing great! Shoot me an email and let's reconnect: [e-mail]

[@eaglei0n]

I love this video. I feel like I am good at my craft and have worked with well known artist. However, I don’t want to just stick with trying to get the big artist. I need some direction on creating an actual business model that will stand out. From the millions of producers doing the same

[@unlockyoursound]

Thank you for everything, Dan!

[@zonedoutmelodic]

super inspiring any advice for a 19 year old music producer ?

[@darklabelmusic]

Thanks for watching. Went to your channel... You're onto something. Cool stuff. Advice for a 19 year old producer. Don't feel like you need to jump into business right away. You can if you want to, but don't feel like you need to. It's a different thing when it's your "job". Have fun with it and just keep developing your thing. Like I said, you're onto something. Continue refining it. I was 24 before I was able to start making a living with it. Get in the room with as many people as possible... Artists, producers, etc. A lot of the younger producers sit in their rooms by themselves producing and throwing stuff on IG. Always be meeting new people. In person if you can, but at the least online. Get on skype. Face to face. Write with artists. Collaborate with other creators. There are a ton of producers who can sell a few beats online, but the moment you put em in the room with an artist they don't know what to do. And final piece would be... Never launder your reputation doing corny shit at the start for a quick buck. Your reputation has to last a lifetime if you decide to pursue this as a career.

[@zonedoutmelodic]

@@darklabelmusic amazing advice 🥽🌊

[@DannyBoy443]

This explains structure (for you) and some planning on business models, but its' really just your story. I'd like some ways to get started. Unless you're just going to say "well, you have to write your own music" lol

[@darklabelmusic]

Hey thanks for watching. Happy to offer some advice, but I don't understand what you're asking. The more specific the question, the better answers you'll get from people. What are ways to start is not specific enough. I don't know what you're trying to start.

[@MrVarsityphysics]

I have a growing IG fanbase but am not sure how to monetize. I write and produce songs. This may help.

[@darklabelmusic]

Can you drop your IG user name? I'll check it out and reply back here.

[@nicrepnnic7201]

Where can u connect with artists?

[@darklabelmusic]

We've found that all of the platforms work. Artists are everywhere :) Thanks for watching!

[@grragrraboom1]

how much did you make the first year?

[@darklabelmusic]

Thanks for watching, Eclipse. I would have to look but I think the first full-time year (when it was just me and no team) would have been somewhere in the $40k-$50k range. However, I spent YEARS before going between part time and full time while having other corporate jobs.

[@mattbond6699]

"It was a match made in hell" haha Great video dude. If you ever want to outsource smaller mixing jobs to the UK, I'm game.

[@opinionatorX]

Is the song writing team inc under the production company or a separate entity?

[@darklabelmusic]

Hey! Thanks for watching. I'm not sure I understand the question.

[@darklabelmusic]

Songwriting Team was the production company.

[@opinionatorX]

@@darklabelmusic Cool. I thought so...Is song writing Inc the name of the production company which does the music to?

[@darklabelmusic]

​@@opinionatorX The company was called The Songwriting Team. The Inc is just on the bank statements because it was incorporated.

[@opinionatorX]

@@darklabelmusic Got it. I'm getting into voiceover work. Can song writing, music production, film or video production, voice over production etc...be under one production entity?

So why did you stop again..?! 🤔

[@darklabelmusic]

Everyone on my team got signed or picked up for bigger opportunities so about 5 years in I realized that developing producers was really my talent. I transitioned into mgmt in 2018.

[@matiasss550]

but....what do you do man? clients of what service?

[@darklabelmusic]

The business I am referring to in this video was a music production company. Getting paid a production fee to produce songs for artists, brands, and labels. Much of it remotely (online).
