Remeber fellaz....i have been doing beats for 15 years, and i am still watching this video :D

[@wegotthatHEATE]

[@DivineAudioKings]

Been making music for 16 brother you ant alone. Hard out here in these streets.

[@thesoundmajors9858]

The market is not saturated. If you were to take the top earners, there's only a handful actually finding success. What is "saturated" is the amount of people who start and do it for 3 months and quit.

[@prodbyyasuke1754]

100%. It's the person, not the business. I'm going to get this to work.

[@girlblood]

bruh i been selling beats 10 years since i was 14 using my moms paypal im 25 now i still sell beats everyday tbh my advice is choose another job go back to school unless u wanna b antisocial sitting on a laptop all day ima internet producer or go the studio producer route thats more fun i never go 2 the studio

[@ZonymaUnltd.]

@@girlblood The consistency and the marketing is half the battle, having great, quality beats that also stand out is crucial.

[@htwomusic]

I'm on that route, how long did it take you to sell beats full-time? or do you still work? I've always had other jobs of course to survive but been trying to build my business since 15. 10 years next month, ideally want a marketing job since I've been doing it for 10+ years with no budget for my own business haha, thoughts?@@girlblood

[@nateg4008]

I've been doing this for 5 years now. the problem is I didn't start posting and selling until a few months ago.. I waited to long and I do feel like the market is oversaturated now. I'm not mad at it but producing really became a common hobby compared to when I started when no one was really interested

[@RookslifeHiphop]

[@tomdooley4173]

There were def some gems in here that I’m gonna start applying when I get home from work, might even create my own website with the resources you recommended. Keep getting caught up in handling every minuet detail instead of letting the music speak for itself and putting it out there.

Nobody is actually mastering their beats, they're just making them louder "louder doesn't mean mastered"

[@wegotthatHEATE]

Very true, technically mastering or making the beat louder shouldn't happen until vocals are on the track but ya gotta do what ya gotta do

[@jespermynchau5580]

Nobody? Huh, i am mastering. and with the EQ, you can use different hz frequencies to make it sound cleaner. One of the cleanest i try to copy, is Neelix. His mastering is insane.

[@docfoobeats]

Hey man i love your vids and how you help producers get to the next step. But i still have a question about selling beats. Is having multiple youtuve channels a pro or con to have??

[@wegotthatHEATE]

Thanks for the love! If you produce different genres it's recommended to put them on different channels, for example you wouldn't mix trap beats with smooth rnb beats because those are two completely different audiences. Cons are that you have to manage more than one channel which might put a strain on you depending on your creative output!

[@carldubcats3385]

Nice

[@ProdbyHway]

Is 80 for basic mp3 and wav too much ? I need to finish my bro store

[@posticmusic7943]

thanks

[@wegotthatHEATE]

You're welcome!

[@demianmijares9548]

Should I save beforehand for copyright costs? Or do you post the videos without registering your music?

[@wegotthatHEATE]

No need to register anything, the copyright is yours automatically upon creation of your beats technically.

[@haru_626]

Is interacting with other producers also important? I want to succeed on my own. Please advise.

[@posticmusic7943]

real shit

[@TheRobinCox]

I am just wondering if it really can be legal to take a photo of another artist to use for your commercial gains? 1. the artist has not given concent and the copyright holder has neither.

[@nizeplaynogames]

🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌

[@wegotthatHEATE]

🔥🙏🏽

[@robertjag167]

I absolutely love this. But I have 1 main concern. I mainly make metal/rock instrumentals which take me way longer than "regular" type beats. Would uploading 1-2 high quality instrumentals weekly do or do I really gotta push to get at least 3-4 out while still maintaining quality?

[@wegotthatHEATE]

Definitely go for quality over quantity especially for that genre. You can get away with trap beats being pretty much the same 8 bar loop on repeat for the entire song, but metal and other guitar based music definitely has a bigger emphasis on the song writing and arrangement, so put the effort in and it'll be worth it!

[@robertjag167]

@@wegotthatHEATE Thanks so much! Yes I do always feel the same way too. 1-2 quality rock or metal tracks would be the most realistic for me. I did want to ask, can I ask some more questions through DM or email? 🔥

[@rome_100k]

how are you monitoring people so that they’re not able to upload without purchasing a license?

[@vinaymeena2617]

Good question 🤔 👏

[@RobinWesleyTV]

Content ID. I put all my tracks in content ID. As soon as someone uploads it, they get a copyright claim (not a strike) and trough my content ID service, I claim all their ad-revenue until I release the claim. I don't get notified when someone does this but I do get paid for it and can see the statements afterwards of the videos that include my music. If the video is doing well, it'll only hurt the uploading channel, so I kinda force them to reach out to me and buy a license if they don't have it. This is why I disabled KZbin monetization with all my licenses except for the most expensive non-exclusive license. I make sure I prepare my customers (through email marketing automation) that this claim may happen and all they have to do when it does is reach out to me so I can check if they have the correct license. If they do, I tell my content ID management service to release the claim for that video. There's some content ID services out there. Just google and do some research. I'm with a more exclusive company that doesn't except new clients so I can't refer you to mine. The process is similar with others tho. Hope this helps! Btw, good question. Noting this down for further research a the HEATE HQ. ✍

Especially since your video is very "high quality", in my opinion. So bruh, when do you have time to produce music? You know ... The music that you're educating us on how to sell !!!??? Bruh, stop selling dreams to these young people. In order to sell music, you have to know someone in the business, just like everything else on the planet !!!
