Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,291 --> 00:00:01,626
I know there's a lot of producers that
2
00:00:01,626 --> 00:00:03,878
want to know how to sell beats online. It
3
00:00:03,878 --> 00:00:05,088
could be a tough thing if you don't
4
00:00:05,088 --> 00:00:07,006
really know which way to go. Imma show
5
00:00:07,006 --> 00:00:08,800
you how I made my first 60K off of
6
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,052
selling beats off of Beastars. Let's go!
7
00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:38,830
Alright well the first thing I did,
8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,124
apparently, I got a Beastars account.
9
00:00:42,625 --> 00:00:45,670
I signed that with Beastars and for the
10
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:50,133
first 6 months to 7 months, I didn't
11
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:52,886
catch not one sale at all. But I posted
12
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:54,721
every single day. So that's the first
13
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:56,765
thing I'm going to say I did. I posted
14
00:00:56,765 --> 00:00:59,976
every single day. 365 days in a year. So
15
00:00:59,976 --> 00:01:03,480
in a year I had 365 beats in my catalog.
16
00:01:03,813 --> 00:01:05,815
I want to break down year by year how my
17
00:01:05,815 --> 00:01:07,525
sales went so you can see how it goes.
18
00:01:07,984 --> 00:01:09,527
Like I said for the first year and a
19
00:01:09,527 --> 00:01:11,237
half, for the first year and some change,
20
00:01:11,613 --> 00:01:13,198
I didn't make no sales at all.
21
00:01:14,282 --> 00:01:14,491
Damn!
22
00:01:16,618 --> 00:01:18,870
Alright, let me log into my Beastars.
23
00:01:19,287 --> 00:01:23,917
Every freeze, Beastars,(...) sales.
24
00:01:24,292 --> 00:01:28,630
Alright, let me take it back.
25
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,299
Let me take it to,
26
00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:33,760
alright let me go to 2017.
27
00:01:35,136 --> 00:01:37,222
I know I didn't sell no beats back then
28
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:38,807
but I just want to take it back there and
29
00:01:38,807 --> 00:01:41,017
make sure I catch everything.(...) June
30
00:01:41,017 --> 00:01:42,602
the 4th, so today is June
31
00:01:42,602 --> 00:01:45,897
the 4th. Put it on 2018.
32
00:01:49,108 --> 00:01:50,652
So this is my first year right here.
33
00:01:52,987 --> 00:01:54,864
No data. No order, no
34
00:01:54,864 --> 00:01:57,659
beats. Let's see, put it to 2019.
35
00:02:04,165 --> 00:02:04,541
$40.
36
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:06,960
Your boy got 40 bucks.
37
00:02:08,419 --> 00:02:10,421
That's when I knew it was true. I kept
38
00:02:10,421 --> 00:02:13,842
one after that. $40 a whole year. $40.
39
00:02:17,762 --> 00:02:21,641
Alright, let's see, let's go to 2020.
40
00:02:23,017 --> 00:02:23,476
Let's see what I was
41
00:02:23,476 --> 00:02:24,853
able to do in that year.
42
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:33,027
$4,000. I got it from $40 to $4,000. So
43
00:02:33,027 --> 00:02:35,780
that's crazy. I started going crazy.
44
00:02:36,948 --> 00:02:40,368
$4,000, $1,800 worth of beat, collab
45
00:02:40,368 --> 00:02:43,496
sales, net sales, $3,000.(...) This
46
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:47,041
counts 240. Sold 106 beats, at least 106
47
00:02:47,041 --> 00:02:48,710
beats.(...) Alright,
48
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:50,587
put it up another year.
49
00:02:52,005 --> 00:03:01,514
$21, June the 4th.
50
00:03:01,514 --> 00:03:03,600
Alright, I took it to 22.
51
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:06,394
Man, that's a big increase right there.
52
00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:08,813
I started going crazy.
53
00:03:10,982 --> 00:03:13,318
$8,000 in collab sales, man. I
54
00:03:13,318 --> 00:03:15,236
always fix those collabs, man.
55
00:03:17,113 --> 00:03:18,740
Let's see, let's go to another year.
56
00:03:25,121 --> 00:03:27,373
June the 4th, 2022.
57
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:31,002
Got it to 38.
58
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:34,297
So it's still going crazy. You know what
59
00:03:34,297 --> 00:03:35,757
I'm saying? It's going up and up. But for
60
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:40,345
2018 to 2019, I wasn't doing nothing. You
61
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:41,054
got to see it on
62
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:42,472
through, man. Trust the process.
63
00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:46,976
Alright,(...) let's go to 2023. June the
64
00:03:46,976 --> 00:03:52,231
4th. Which is today. Let's
65
00:03:52,231 --> 00:03:55,652
see, June the 4th. Nah, man.
66
00:03:58,321 --> 00:04:02,492
62,000. So I did it. I got over the 50K.
67
00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:06,037
Now my goal is to get at least 100, 200K
68
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:09,290
to a million. I almost got $10,000 worth
69
00:04:09,290 --> 00:04:12,043
of collab sales, 52,000 in
70
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:12,961
net sales. This counts $3,000.
71
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,966
Almost might as well say $4,000 in
72
00:04:17,966 --> 00:04:21,386
discounts. Almost selling a thousand
73
00:04:21,386 --> 00:04:24,889
items. Gross, 62,000.(...) As you can
74
00:04:24,889 --> 00:04:26,599
see, I haven't hit the thousand mile mark
75
00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:29,477
yet, but I'm damn near on this. You know
76
00:04:29,477 --> 00:04:31,729
what I'm saying? So once you find your
77
00:04:31,729 --> 00:04:33,648
lane and you find your niche, then you
78
00:04:33,648 --> 00:04:35,149
know which direction to go. A lot of
79
00:04:35,149 --> 00:04:36,651
people ask, "Where is your niche and how
80
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:38,736
do you find it?" You find it by posting
81
00:04:38,736 --> 00:04:40,488
beats all the time, and then you check
82
00:04:40,488 --> 00:04:41,990
your stats to see what your audience is
83
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:44,617
loving about. So that's how I was really
84
00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:46,953
able to figure out my niche of the beats
85
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:48,454
that worked out best for me, because I
86
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:50,957
would post all the time. So I would go
87
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:52,709
off of the stats of the beats that I
88
00:04:52,709 --> 00:04:54,919
posted, and I would just start to post
89
00:04:54,919 --> 00:04:56,796
that kind of beat. For me, my two that
90
00:04:56,796 --> 00:04:58,840
worked for me was Money Man type beats
91
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,134
and City Girl type beats. My Money Man
92
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:02,927
type beats started to take off first. I
93
00:05:02,927 --> 00:05:05,304
actually got a placement with a couple of
94
00:05:05,304 --> 00:05:07,348
Money Man's artists just off of me
95
00:05:07,348 --> 00:05:09,976
posting Money Man beats online. But when
96
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,979
the first beat starts to take off, that's
97
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:14,272
when you're going to start to lease
98
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:17,942
beats. No, I had beats that I haven't had
99
00:05:17,942 --> 00:05:20,361
that many views on, but I still made some
100
00:05:20,361 --> 00:05:21,362
money off of that too,
101
00:05:21,362 --> 00:05:22,655
so thank God for that.
102
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:27,285
But anyway, and my second was City Girl's
103
00:05:27,285 --> 00:05:29,620
type beats. My City Girl type beats was
104
00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:31,914
not as much as the Money Man type beats,
105
00:05:32,248 --> 00:05:35,126
but nowadays, the City Girl type beats is
106
00:05:35,126 --> 00:05:36,794
higher than the Money Man type beats on
107
00:05:36,794 --> 00:05:39,422
my channel. So it fluctuates, you know
108
00:05:39,422 --> 00:05:41,257
what I'm saying? So I got to go with
109
00:05:41,257 --> 00:05:43,217
what's going on. So right now, I'm doing
110
00:05:43,217 --> 00:05:45,303
City Girl beats.(...) I ended up getting
111
00:05:45,303 --> 00:05:48,723
a placement with a Saucy Santana, which
112
00:05:48,723 --> 00:05:52,101
is kind of like a City Girl type of vibe.
113
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:54,395
So my channel went up even more off of
114
00:05:54,395 --> 00:05:56,022
the City Girl type beats. So when that
115
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:58,775
happened, I was like, "Shit, I'm about to
116
00:05:58,775 --> 00:06:00,109
go post some City Girl
117
00:06:00,109 --> 00:06:01,527
beats." Get me a Hell Yeah!
118
00:06:02,987 --> 00:06:05,782
I would go on different platforms like
119
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:08,910
Instagram, Facebook, and I would pay for
120
00:06:08,910 --> 00:06:12,246
ads. I even paid for Google ads, and I
121
00:06:12,246 --> 00:06:15,500
paid for BeatStars profile ads and song
122
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,752
ads. So I was paying for ads at the time,
123
00:06:18,044 --> 00:06:19,921
but that's another thing that you got to
124
00:06:19,921 --> 00:06:22,548
keep in mind too. Do not expect to sell a
125
00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:25,301
beat just because you pay for ads.(...)
126
00:06:25,301 --> 00:06:28,346
You know, everybody wants that in return,
127
00:06:28,346 --> 00:06:29,972
but it actually doesn't work like that.
128
00:06:30,014 --> 00:06:31,599
You're really paying for branding
129
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:33,935
awareness. So once you get that in your
130
00:06:33,935 --> 00:06:35,686
mind and you can just pay it out and
131
00:06:35,686 --> 00:06:37,605
don't think about it, I promise you the
132
00:06:37,605 --> 00:06:39,565
money will eventually come back, but it's
133
00:06:39,565 --> 00:06:42,318
not an instant sometimes. You know what
134
00:06:42,318 --> 00:06:43,486
I'm saying? It's not an instant
135
00:06:43,486 --> 00:06:45,238
sometimes. I would go to music
136
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:46,948
conferences and different places like
137
00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:48,699
that to promote my beat link and my
138
00:06:48,699 --> 00:06:50,743
YouTube link. I would just go where I
139
00:06:50,743 --> 00:06:52,787
know the artist is at, regardless if it's
140
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:55,123
a talent show or if it's a music
141
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:57,083
conference or I get invited to a music
142
00:06:57,083 --> 00:06:59,043
conference or anything like that. I would
143
00:06:59,043 --> 00:07:00,878
just always make sure I go and I go
144
00:07:00,878 --> 00:07:03,297
promote what artists is at, because how
145
00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:04,632
else are we going to lease beats if we
146
00:07:04,632 --> 00:07:05,842
don't got no artists? You know what I'm
147
00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:08,719
saying? So another thing I did that
148
00:07:08,719 --> 00:07:11,013
played a big part, which is a major part
149
00:07:11,013 --> 00:07:13,808
that I feel, is I meditated. I meditated
150
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:17,812
and I manifested to be able to sell beats
151
00:07:17,812 --> 00:07:19,939
online and to get placements. I did that
152
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:21,649
a couple of times out of the week. I
153
00:07:21,649 --> 00:07:24,110
researched about meditation and found out
154
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,027
different frequencies
155
00:07:25,027 --> 00:07:25,987
that work good for you.
156
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:29,240
That I put you in that state. So I
157
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,576
started to do that and I manifested that.
158
00:07:31,993 --> 00:07:33,995
When I started to work towards it, it
159
00:07:33,995 --> 00:07:35,746
just started to happen. So I know that
160
00:07:35,746 --> 00:07:37,665
stuff like that is real. So I would
161
00:07:37,665 --> 00:07:40,793
always tell people to go and manifest and
162
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:43,379
meditate and really take that stuff
163
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:45,339
seriously. I lied to you. After
164
00:07:45,339 --> 00:07:47,592
meditating, I ended up getting another
165
00:07:47,592 --> 00:07:50,344
placement with BRS Cash and Milado with
166
00:07:50,344 --> 00:07:52,430
the Cash App record. It's strictly off of
167
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:54,307
YouTube, strictly from posting beats
168
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:57,268
every day. They found it on YouTube and
169
00:07:57,268 --> 00:07:59,020
they used it. So that stuff really does
170
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:01,939
work. Another thing I did was pay for
171
00:08:01,939 --> 00:08:04,442
influencers to rap to my beats, pay them
172
00:08:04,442 --> 00:08:07,278
to dance like famous dancers or TikTokers
173
00:08:07,278 --> 00:08:09,530
to do something to one of my beats. And
174
00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:11,699
that would bring awareness to me too. And
175
00:08:11,699 --> 00:08:13,743
people can go and just click the link and
176
00:08:13,743 --> 00:08:15,661
then I'll just transfer them to my beat
177
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:18,539
stars. So another pro tip that I did, I
178
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:21,250
got Earbit also. See, Earbit has a
179
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:23,920
content ID system that's dope. I think
180
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,713
it's really, really dope. And I would
181
00:08:25,713 --> 00:08:28,424
register my beats into the Earbit and
182
00:08:28,424 --> 00:08:30,009
they would go and get the people who
183
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:32,428
didn't actually lease it from me. They
184
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:34,931
would go and I would collect off of their
185
00:08:34,931 --> 00:08:38,684
monetization on YouTube. You know, with
186
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:40,811
enough songs and enough views that I can
187
00:08:40,811 --> 00:08:43,105
add up for another monthly screen of
188
00:08:43,105 --> 00:08:45,191
income that can work good for you. So,
189
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:46,567
you know what I'm saying? I had beat
190
00:08:46,567 --> 00:08:48,319
stars. I was uploading all my beats to
191
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:50,696
BeatStars and I had an Earbit and I was
192
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:53,449
uploading all my beats to my Earbit just
193
00:08:53,449 --> 00:08:56,118
to get the monthly monetization off of
194
00:08:56,118 --> 00:08:56,994
the people who was
195
00:08:56,994 --> 00:08:58,162
not paying for my beats.
196
00:09:00,873 --> 00:09:08,839
To sum it up, man, and all in all, all I
197
00:09:08,839 --> 00:09:11,884
really did was focus and stay down. I
198
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:14,470
really focused and I stayed down and I
199
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:15,972
just looked at the future picture of it.
200
00:09:16,013 --> 00:09:18,599
Just post beats all the time. The more
201
00:09:18,599 --> 00:09:20,726
beats you got, the more your name is in
202
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:22,603
the algorithm, the more people are going
203
00:09:22,603 --> 00:09:24,522
to see you, the more people are going to
204
00:09:24,522 --> 00:09:26,315
want to rap to your beats if you got some
205
00:09:26,315 --> 00:09:28,150
good beats. You got to have some good
206
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:29,860
beats. I forgot to add that part inside
207
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:33,072
there. You got to have some good beats.
208
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:34,240
It don't have to be the best in the
209
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,492
world, but the quality has to be straight
210
00:09:36,492 --> 00:09:39,203
and it has to sound good. Our audience
211
00:09:39,203 --> 00:09:41,789
has to be able to rap to it. Your YouTube
212
00:09:41,789 --> 00:09:43,666
is real important to help to go with the
213
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:45,918
BeatStars. They're like two and two. If
214
00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:47,753
you can get them to go together, you will
215
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:48,963
sell a whole lot of beats.
216
00:09:51,465 --> 00:09:55,845
I would get a thumbnail off of Instagram
217
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:57,722
of the latest picture of the tight beat
218
00:09:58,014 --> 00:09:59,765
and I would put it in the video and I
219
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:01,475
would just slap it on YouTube. When you
220
00:10:01,475 --> 00:10:03,311
feed your audience, you're going to make
221
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:06,355
more and more and more money leasing. I
222
00:10:06,355 --> 00:10:08,691
hope I motivated you. I hope I put some
223
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:10,318
type of motivation to let you know that
224
00:10:10,318 --> 00:10:12,403
it is possible. Know that it does not
225
00:10:12,403 --> 00:10:14,947
come overnight. Know that it takes time
226
00:10:14,947 --> 00:10:16,824
and a lot of consistency. If you got
227
00:10:16,824 --> 00:10:19,160
those parameters installed into you,
228
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,245
you're going to start leasing beats.(...)
229
00:10:21,245 --> 00:10:24,457
Post consistently. Pay for ads. Know your
230
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:26,334
niche.(...) Network. That's all you
231
00:10:26,334 --> 00:10:28,419
really need to sell beats online. It's
232
00:10:28,419 --> 00:10:30,087
really just that simple, but the
233
00:10:30,087 --> 00:10:32,256
consistency is the number one thing.
234
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:34,300
Consistency and hard work beats talent
235
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,011
nowadays. So don't forget that. Do me a
236
00:10:37,011 --> 00:10:38,971
favor. Like and subscribe to my channel.
237
00:10:39,013 --> 00:10:41,140
I got plenty more content coming on the
238
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:43,017
way. We go do this a day at a time.
