This Type Beat Made $50,000

This type beat made about $50,000 in beat leases after going viral on KZbin. How did it happen? Does it have to do with this retention secret? Also, what should producers pay attention to when trying to sell more beats online? This video is from a recent interview of DJ Pain 1 by @typatheo

Make beats like this one with my newest sample pack: bsta.rs/8d537dc47

[@typatheo]

Yup it was definitely the same video😂 funny I saw it the night before the interview lol

[@DJPain1]

Same, crazy coincidence

[@anthonystallworth474]

The key is mad networking, consistency, & showing who you are

[@notreally-sf3df]

so not fucking true at all. It's the opposite. I have made over a mil from 1 beat the last few years by not networking, being incredibly exclusive and no one knowing who i am. This is such a fucking bad comment.

[@prodbyconscious]

dope hearing you both chop it up about this stuff 💡

[@DJPain1]

Thanks for listening

Taking a look at the data at the beginning and end of the tunnel was a very useful tip, ty!

[@Sneakycat1971]

People need to realize that making music is a great pastime that helps your brain and state of mind. Enjoy what your doing but realize that making the big leagues is not a reality for most people. Its a good escape from the drama and stress of the everyday world and better than watching tv or playing videogames.

kontrol been goin crazy, got recommended to me lately, funny that you mention him

[@DJPain1]

He is winning in the algorithm rn

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@thaiboxing67]

there is no magic potion to beat making. the key is just honing and perfecting ones craft. If one stays true to that eventually success will come. It's like the stock market, gotta play the long game.

Kontrol beats gave me the idea to give this music producing a shot . I used to make music for with my and iv always been very interested in guitar sounds and the mix of metal music . I feel the same energy with trap . So I thank control beats for keeping my mind busy and setting this little side hustle and hobby up and I thankyou 2 for all your knowlege I'm digesting .

Well as far as Watch Time as a rapper who rides many free for profit beats. A beat could play a few seconds in and I like it so I download it in mp3 and write to it offline. - I am commenting on what he said at 4:34

[@DJPain1]

Yep, that happens too, which is why KZbin numbers don’t always matter. A lot of low viewed beats sell and highly viewed beats don’t sell

[@unthinQTV]

@@DJPain1 Exactly. In fact if someone is sold they dont need the rest of the thing to play out. They already have ideas. They continue on the platform that allows them to proceed. So needed to get that out there. Cz the beats I have used in life I gave less watch time. The ones I gave watchtine I was loooing them to decide

[@SuperHonkyPodcast]

I've always made beats with longer intros despite everyone telling me not too. I've had so many people say things like... "You don't want the audience to get bored and leave your video" in regards to why I shouldn't have longer intros than usual." I never listened to their advice though because the songs that I typically fall in love with, usually have longer intros that build up to the drop and also allows suspense. You can have your beat start off with some ambience, slower, only a piano and maybe some percussion (or whatever).. and when the beat drops, you bring EVERYTHING in and it slaps you in the face! #MISTA808

[@DJPain1]

If it works, it works!

[@BenTaylorPostProduction]

Don't forget to press some vinyl. Most big music people I know are vinyl junkies. That is where the serious fans and go. Streaming doesn't pay well. Live shows and licensing ae the real money.

[@typatheo]

We talking about selling beats here though…. That would apply more to an actual song not a beat

[@Sneakycat1971]

If you're making a beat that can stand by itself then you can pretty much do what you want but if you're making a beat for someone to rap or sing on you have to follow a certain structure.

[@DJPain1]

It helps to follow a discernible structure. Experimentation is a risk but if you get the rare reward from it, it’s big

[@BarkingForBroccoliBG]

Either an instrunental moves a listener, inspires rapping or singing or it doesn't. Music is audio emotions . An intro doesn't inspire vocals on the spot

[@DJPain1]

An intro definitely can inspire vocals

[@BarkingForBroccoliBG]

@@DJPain1 no not at all

[@BarkingForBroccoliBG]

@@DJPain1 intros on beats are like skits on songs. Neat the first time but wish they didn't exist 2nd listen

[@thaiboxing67]

that is a double edge sword. You can make your intro long but you gotta make sure your beat is on point cause if it's not, you are pissing off a lot of people lol

[@QBellowMusic]

Are y'all using something like indentify to put content id on the beats before putting them on KZbin?

[@DJPain1]

No

[@QBellowMusic]

@@DJPain1 Thanks!

They toured together that year

[@ciarandoc028]

The formula is simple, perseverance and most people are just not built that way. Good video Pain as always!

[@DJPain1]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@NzyMakesBeats]

lmaoo I saw that kids videos like last week, he's tapped into the algorithm for sure

[@DJPain1]

Yeah, I believe him

[@nvisionbeats]

So is that a thing with algorithm like that if random people are watching your videos rather than just artists that are interested?

[@DJPain1]

It’s really based on relevance so probably not

[@Bashanvibe]

Me personally I make my music too full!!!

[@DJPain1]

Yeah that’s a big problem I can relate to

[@farraribeats]

That’s insane to me that long intros (30-40secs) will work since our attention spans have gotten worse overtime. I’m not even an artist and I find myself skipping songs if the drop takes too long plus since artists listen to so many beats I wouldn’t expect them to spend too much time hearing an intro.

[@DJPain1]

Your target audience won’t necessarily be young folks who are used to TikTok

[@ilvesinstru]

I guess it only works if the intro evolves in some way. If you just slap the main part of the beat right away, it's like it's all heard already. A longer intro, if made interesting, would keep the tik tok attention span engaged.

[@anushbeats321]

A&Rs want short intros 😂 that’s what I found out from an A&R in person weeks ago They know music so if they skip when it’s to long „unless“ you are drake or Timbaland it will work all the time because people know them well Ok maybe if it worked out for some people, but if we are on the listeners side maybe we will understand

[@TheBeatHatahs]

Check us out- Yeah❗️

[@beataddict5475]

Hmmmm interesting to say the intro should be longer and let the melody have a long build up but when these people do beat reviews they say why is your intro so long,the artist is just going to bypass this. Maaan it's hard to take people's word on KZbin. You basically just need to experiment yourself and see what happens. What works for others may or may not work for you. I guess if it's God's will then it will happen great for you.

[@DJPain1]

Yeah can’t really listen to other producers I’ve found

[@craigjohnson5409]

What's a good watch time for a beat on KZbin?

[@DJPain1]

Depends on the length of the beat

[@craigjohnson5409]

Say it's about 2:30 - 3 minutes long

[@mxstermxnds2829]

Yo Dj Pain1….is this true?….. there’s too much conflicting information…..some say if the intro is long, ppl skip, while others say make it long so that u can build suspense…..what the stats🤔🤦🏾‍♂️

[@DJPain1]

There are no stats, how would we even quantify that?

[@prxytv]

One critic about Kontrol is that he is spamming and repeating the same thing already mentioned thousand of times on every single video he posts only because of the success he got from his main account, almost giving the illusion that everyone one can follow the same path.
