The full conversation is out now!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqqlYoqciaZ3pqMsi=iH7_1aUiUXksHsD9

[@LateNightTones]

Love this. Nic D is him.

[@piersonbooth]

and so are you baby

[@lofialumnimusic]

As a Lofi producer with 35 k monthly listeners I really took this video in. He's right, just make something to catch people's attention and get organic likes and listeners. Maybe make some skits or something, how many videos come out every day of someone just making a beat or how they made the beat or just some cover art with the beat playing. Gotta go harder. Also this encourages me to just release the music. Let's drop once a week!

[@LDreTheGiant]

10000%

[@beatsbykana]

the absolute worst part of music, the social media. but finding your audience feels so good

[@aaronasissoard1098]

I completely agree with you social media is a plague but you can meet so many like minded people there

[@MH0724]

A lot of gems in this video. Would love to see the raw uncut version of this video.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Gotcha 🤞🏾

[@tajiez]

FINALLY, I been checking both ur channels everyday for like 2 weeks waiting for this 😭

[@LDreTheGiant]

😂🙏🏾

[@grezzzo_]

yes bro please drop the full conversation if you can 🙏 this helped me fr

[@NuEleven]

Shout out to the independent artists getting to it 💪🏿💪🏿 This L.Dre & Nic D content was necessary! If you’re an indie artist, I wish you nothing but success in 2024!

[@LDreTheGiant]

Likewise!!

[@THINGpromotions]

3 years in a row releasing every friday, never stopping !

[@LDreTheGiant]

True dedication 🔥

[@Tonemind]

How much revenue do you see from it?

[@vikhr]

what results did u get

[@THINGpromotions]

@@vikhr before 300 streams per day, now almost 4000.

[@vikhr]

@@THINGpromotions 13x is pretty good

[@ListenToGlobal]

Loved that video, Nic is super inspiring and genuinely hard working. Would absolutely love to see the entire interview!

[@LDreTheGiant]

Coming soon!

[@dormiovibes]

Looking at content objectively is probably the hardest thing to do but it makes so much sense. It can be challenging to focus solely on the art and the brand he's right. Its so important to prioritize the listener.

[@BrandonSantamariamusic]

Great gems dropped!! I’m here for the whole interview.

[@jpk.mp3]

love this edit of the convo + your commentary 🙌

[@coloursinthedark]

The strategy of promoting playlists instead of the beats is exactly what I’ve done since 2020 and I was very successful with that (I’ve ended up also making my own lofi label Sleep Tales in the process). There is only a few things to have in mind about that, to not rely only on that and make it also healthy in the long run :)

[@alcinousmusic]

A great strategy!

[@RRAREBEAR]

great vid. Appreciate you. drop the whole interview!!!

[@andresdelgado8943]

loved this, hope u do release the full version

[@icywavs]

Hope to see the full interview soon! This video is absolutely packed with gems! Nic D is so inspiring and awesome! Thank you for these awesome vibes, L.Dre 🥳

[@Oh.K.E]

Love this bro, would love to see the full interview! keep up the amazing content L.Dre

[@LDreTheGiant]

I'm working on it!

[@LUCKYKATmeowsic]

so much truth here. amazing how artists think that being an entrepreneur & grinding is "too businessy". then they're surprised when no-one listens to their music. thanks for sharing this gem L.Dre

[@CoRyBiNks]

most of this stuff ive already heard from following Nic, but always appreciate the reminder...thanks for this L.Dre, God bless ya bro

[@CarterAce]

Part twoooo PLSSSSSS. Love all his convos

[@justjoshp8581]

im really glad more people are finding nic. my homie introduced him to me about like a year and a half ago and i loved his music, sadly i didn't see many interviews with him at the time and now i see him alot more and i love that because he is just such an interesting smart person who makes it very easy to learn .

[@tajiez]

Drop the full uncut interview plz sir

[@slapnpop826]

You did the Lord’s work with this video! That playlist idea and release the music first have completely refocused my thinking.

[@ryanignites5923]

This is some of the best advice I've ever seen on this topic. And for FREE my bro, god damn.

[@jeffvibesmusic]

Been watching Nic for a while, the information is gold. This comment for dropping full conversation to the second channel!

[@copasetickid]

Yes please post the full video of the interview

[@itsjustglass01]

This was an immaculate video. You given so much value to me as a producer since I was a teen In High school just learning ableton. To an adult right now I’m forever grateful. Furthermore for the people that need this it will go a long way thanks 💚 for always given back to community.

[@oligos]

Sick video!

[@sahanfernando1974]

whole thing released would be awesome!

[@itsowlmygod]

yooo.... 😳 it sounds so simple, yet those ideas somehow never crossed my mind for long enough to think about it... I want to hear about the mental side, i want to hear it all, you both are a great at this music producer/marketing game and i want more knowledge! 😁

[@kubamusicprod]

Amazing video !

[@itspedroinit]

honestly great video man

[@brokenbonesdubstep]

def want to see the whole thing

[@_samtaylorrr]

The idea around the 3:00 min mark is also talked about in atomic habits by James Clear. More efforts over time will give you more chances to succeed and more growth overall, versus one big effort / one shot.

[@bluesucceed]

Love this!! More more more!!! 💙

[@shummers]

13:50 on that note of avoiding spotify because of the pay wall, I've heard that free spotify user's streams actually pay out more per stream, because the free customers have to listen to the ads frequently, and that ultimately makes Spotify more money per stream than premium customers do, so the free user's streams pay out more.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Interesting

[@Maofdi-Music]

Thanks for this interview, man!

[@kougan_music]

Drop the whole thing, anything with Nic in it is a gold mine of info

[@iosoundstudio]

Bro for sureeee another video on the mental stuff

[@brokent163]

Release the whole video my guy! Would love to hear the full conversation.

[@Prodbyshaynee]

Everybody do videos with him now .. crazy

[@chuckmakesbeats7426]

Plenty of 💎s in this video. I was always liking your songs on Spotify and adding to my liked songs playlists but I will definitely add more of your playlists to listen to. Can't have Griselda bumping when I have my daughter in the ride 😂.

[@LDreTheGiant]

😂😂🙏🏾

[@ShimmerWali]

Can you drop an full unedited version too

[@vstarma]

I want to reach that stage this year ❤️

[@LDreTheGiant]

Let’s do it!

[@karacoldmusic]

The playlist thing 100% works. I've done it before and its easily gotten me more streams then other playlists.

[@ricko5443]

Whole thing would be sick, more more more

[@skatealex1]

Takes me like 5 years to get a million streams. 😶 tbh i gave up on trying to make music my main income, it got kinda exhausting ngl 😌

[@LDreTheGiant]

It’s a hustle but it is possible!

[@kombad]

upload the full convo pls🙌🏽 Often there are more inbetween the line gems 💎

[@alexbochelmusic]

This guy rocks!

Absolute W of a video. Thanks a ton, man🔥🔥.

Please definitely publish the other insights from Nic.

[@music_ethos]

definitely release the rest

[@brokenbonesdubstep]

great role model

[@f4llenstarr]

I like these videos

[@Thirtythreekeyz]

I try to be consistent with the creation, but I also feel it’s necessary for me to take the same time to do my “lil Reese” research and videos like this are perfect. Thank you

i don't care about the streams or whatever, how can you not listen to an advice from a guy with such a great beard?

😂😂😂

Makes sense . Time To just pump it out and go with first instinct with the tracks , not over work it

Do you make money from doing remixes with major artists? Like is there anything to think about before doing a remix?

[@alexyaboi1098]

Bro please drop the mental side of this as well

[@JACKSONPRYORBENNETT]

I’ve been doing that playlist move he’s been talking about for years. When people ask about my lofi stuff I send em to “All My Lofi” so they can listen to every lofi beat I ever released and then they can shuffle it. Only 6 followers on it so far but it’s the most streamed playlist I’ve ever been on and it’s not close because the math is strong

[@Tonemind]

How much revenue are you seeing from that?

[@JACKSONPRYORBENNETT]

I'm not pulling in crazy streaming numbers but I've earned over $150 from my music via Spotify so far. That playlist has thousands of streams so far so it's at least partially responsible for what I've received

[@makinoutmakinout2056]

Yup once I knew posted this snippet and decided I was dropping I Immediately stopped making videos to it and waited for release cause people will want the music and it ain’t even out

[@EntireHistory]

@3:08 350 streams x 100 songs is 1,050,000

[@branchyapple]

I thought it was eminem in the thumbnail💀

[@aesthete23.06LFM]

yo man, i know this question is kind of separate from the video, but i’ve been trying to update my artist platforms to look the way i want, and youtube is one of them, and i know when you release music their music will actually show up on that persons KZbin channel, same for you, your music shows up on you channel as supposed to me, is that because you have a larger following or did you apply for that somehow?

[@profizy]

Ok, need to to watch this vid but just left a comment, please help me keep up. Thanks.

[@thevidkoproductions]

meanwhile me with like 200 streams...🙃

[@dennissantana970]

Please, just release the whole interview.

[@darius4405]

Careerism hahaha

[@itscarmine]

By not having the full interview already uploaded to your other channel prior to this, you didn’t fully pay attention to what Nic is preaching

[@TangentMoon]

Promoting playlists is smart, you could even use other peoples' music to hook listeners into the playlist, then sneak your songs in at position #2 #3 etc. 🤣

[@cesar_m.p.]

If I’m going to see music making just as a business with no art, I’d rather do a brick and mortar business instead.

[@shannonsx4143]

I don' get it 1 000 000 streams : 1 song streamed 1 000 000 time is not equal to 100 songs streamed 350 times, nor 5 songs streamed 33 000 times 🤔 Can someone explain the maths / stats ?

[@vikhr]

It's 1 song streamed 33k times a day is equal to 1 million streams per month, and 100 songs streamed 350 times a day is equal to 1 million streams per month. He's saying it's easier for you to release 100 songs that each get 350 streams per day than trying to make 1 song that gets 33k streams per day.

[@martinthe3rd664]

This guy got so good at separating the art from the business that there is no art left

[@clubsplendid]

Btw if you have 5 songs doing 33k streams per day you'll have 5M streams per month :p think he meant 1 song needs 33k streams per day. love nic d

[@frdiforartists]

Yeah I messed the math up right here - it was those five songs have to total 33k streams a day. They each have to do 6.5k a day each or somethin like that

[@YungGenesis]

I think people need to STOP ✋🏾 putting information out that Doesn't work for Everybody other than themselves. Because everyone Niche or style isn't going to be the same step by step HOW TO GUIDE to success. Because it's always going to be info based off of someone else's experience, in how they've done it versus how it could actually be executed 💯

[@LDreTheGiant]

Won’t be the same for everyone but nothing wrong with tips and best practices from someone that’s made it 🤷🏽‍♂️ I put the info out there and it’s up for the viewer to decide how they want to proceed

I think it's a little weird to say successful people should stop telling people how they got successful, but do you!
