Transcripts
I'm going to show you 50 ways that you
can make money as a music producer if
you're wondering why I should be
speaking on this I've personally made
well over a million dollars with my
music since 2020 so I might have at
least a little bit of an idea of what
I'm talking about there's going to be a
ton of money-making methods in this
video so I recommend you go through and
just focus on a few or even just one of
those Methods at a time instead of
trying to spread yourself so thin
tackling 50 different things at once
over the years I've been able to build
up multiple streams of income for my own
business but it all started with one key
method that blew up my business which
I'm going to show you guys later but for
now let's get right into it for number
one on our list we've got cold dming and
trying to sell rappers inside of
Instagram DMS and this method is great
if you've got some extra time and your
short on money to kind of invest in
growing your business this one takes a
lot of time and effort but if you're
willing to put in the hours and you're
dedicated to it it will get results so
pretty much to do this we can break it
down into a couple steps first you need
to actually find the rappers that you're
going to DM then you need to actually DM
them and have an engaging message that
they're going to open and reply to and
then from there you're going to build a
relationship and try to sell them on
Beats in the future so for step number
one for finding them what I would do is
I would go to big beat Star sellers or
big YouTube Type Beat people and then
just go on their profile and see who's
following them click on the profiles and
and actually do your due diligence on if
they're a rapper another thing you can
do is go on the Instagram of one of
those big producers who has Beats
similar to yours and look in their
tagged post cuz a lot of times artists
will make a song using that person's
beat so once you actually have those
rappers what you want to do is go on
everyone's profile and go through and
actually listen to a song or even better
a couple songs of theirs and come up
with a genuine compliment of something
you like about their music then once
they've replied and you guys have kind
of had a little bit of a conversation
you can talk to them about how you have
beats that would fit their style and
then ask them if you can send a pack of
free beats for them and these aren't
going to be completely free beats these
are just going to be free for nonprofit
so make sure you make that clear to them
and don't expect to make a sale that day
the goal is more to nurture these people
into being customers that are going to
come back for beatss over and over again
if you hit up 100 people every single
day there's no way you're not going to
be selling a beat every day or even
multiple beats every single day anyways
for number two I recommend posting EP
deals on your story this one's kind of
piggybacking off of the last one because
you're going to be selling your Beats in
direct messages and this is something I
used to do all the time in high school I
would post something on my story where I
would be like rappers if you want a
mixtape or album or an EP whatever
completely produced by me for a good
price like DM me this just feels
different than someone being like y new
beat go buy it it just feels like a more
intimate connection with the artist and
producer and I wouldn't recommend
posting the price in the story because
if the price is too high they might not
even attempt to DM you and get this
going but once they've already hit you
and said that they were interested you
can kind of work with their budget and
from one of these story posts I would
probably make anywhere from $2 to $500
so I would do them like once a month
just to make some extra money so I
definitely recommend trying that one out
all right for number three if you've got
your own home studio you can record
local artists and you can charge an
hourly rate for people to come to your
home studio studio and record with you
and you can charge depending on how nice
your equipment is or how much experience
you have recording people and then once
they're already there cooking up
recording songs you might be able to
also upsell them on your actual beats
and not just the studio time all right
and then at number four you can create
some kind of bundle package for your
customers as a producer and you could do
this for artists by creating something
where it's like you buy a beat that
comes with a free cover art a free
mixing and then maybe also if you have
them in your studio you can have them
recorded at your studio so you're pretty
much making yourself a One-Stop shop and
you can promote this on your Instagram
story just like the EP deal I was just
talking about and if you do this and you
do it well people are going to be coming
back to you over and over again because
you're kind of indispensable all right
number five everyone pretty much knows
this one but put out your Beats as typ
beats on YouTube and beat Stars I'm not
going to go too into depth with this but
pretty much what you do is you just post
your beat on YouTube and beat stars and
the hope is that you get organic traffic
from YouTube onto your beat Stars beat
store where people are going to buy and
Lease your Beats there's a ton of people
saying that this is oversaturated but I
know a bunch of people who are still
killing selling on beat stars and
YouTube so if you're making the Beats
already it's definitely worth putting
them out there for number six you can
put out collab songs using platforms
like Dr kid with all the people who are
buying your Beats so essentially instead
of just giving them the beat for $40 you
would also add into the contract or just
your guys's handshake agreement they
would also add you on drro kid for the
royalties and put your name on the song
and what this is going to do is grow
your own Spotify profile and who knows
maybe you could pull a Metro boom in and
eventually be dropping your own albums
featuring artists and be making a ton of
money just off your own Spotify alone if
you're consistent doing that you're
probably going to see some decent money
every month and then for number seven
put your own instrumentals and beats on
Spotify and apple music and all the
other dsps but I personally know a ton
of people who have made a killing doing
this where their beats have become
trending sounds on Tik Tok and then got
millions tens of millions of streams and
when you own 100% of that beat and you
get 100% of the royalties you're going
to make way more money than you would on
a big placement with the same amount of
streams and this is definitely not as
easy as just throwing up on Spotify
doing nothing to it and thinking that
you're going to make a bunch of money
but if you actually put some time and
effort into promoting this on places
like reals or Tik Tok or even try to
submit to Spotify editorial playlist for
example like if you make lowii beats you
can submit them to those lowii beats to
study to kind of playlists if you're
already making the Beats it doesn't hurt
you to spend the extra 10 minutes to put
it on streaming platforms all right for
number eight if you've got a good ear
for mixing and you're good at mixing
vocals whether it's other artist vocals
or your own vocals that you make in your
Beats you could start selling vocal
mixing presets to artists you could
either have this as its own Standalone
product that you're trying to sell or
you could just keep it as an exclusive
thing that you're trying to add as an
upsell to your Beats that you're selling
to people on DMS or your EP deals the
moral of the story with this is to just
keep adding these value stacks of things
that you can do to help your customer
and in return you're going to get paid
more money all right for number nine
we've got sync placements and I
personally don't really go hard on these
I have a couple sinks myself and they do
pay pretty well so I'm not the most
qualified to give advice on where to
start with this but I know many people
who are making over 10K a month who
don't need to have this huge social
media presence or be putting out content
all the time and if you look on screen
I'm going to put a list of libraries
that you can start trying to submit your
tracks to but I recommend that you watch
more YouTube videos on this cuz it
really is not my area of expertise and
next up at number 10 we've got what's
currently my bread and butter selling
sample packs and this could be Loop kits
drum kits preset packs phrases vocal
kits whatever you want to sell later in
this video I'm going to go over how much
money I've made from doing this I
actually just looked today and it kind
of surprised me I see people all the
time talking about how selling sample
packs is dead but that's just simply not
true for number 11 you can pay
influencers to promote your kits so it's
kind of going off of the last one of
selling kits if you pay big YouTube
producers say Ocean or Simon Serita or
even smaller people that are getting
good views on their stuff if you pay
them to promote your kit in their video
you're going to get a ton of new
customers who have never heard of you
before I remember the first time I did
one of these sponsored posts I paid him
something around 500 bucks and that day
that the video went live I made over
$1,500 in sales another way that you can
sell kits for number 12 is to run
Facebook or Instagram ads now personally
I used to recommend just going on
Instagram and pressing the Boost post
button but I would definitely not
recommend that anymore after what I've
learned I recommend that you go in and
learn Facebook ads the actual business
manager because you can track how much
profit you make per ad and you just have
a lot more control over everything
however there is a huge potential
downside with running paid ads cuz if
your stuff is not good enough yet or
your ads aren't good or if you really
don't have have the money to be spending
there there's a good chance that you can
lose your money however I don't want
that to turn you off from doing Facebook
ads because I think even if you're
losing a little bit of money or just
breaking even you're getting paid
customers into your business and we'll
go over email marketing in a second but
if you get their emails you can sell to
them for years to come and then you'll
actually profit off of that money that
you put in up front all right for number
13 you can put out content on YouTube
Reals Tik Tok whatever you want to do to
promote your kits putting out organic
content could be super useful cuz you
don't need to spend a ton of money to
get started doing that and you can get
organic views so you're going to be able
to profit more than if you try to do
paid ads right from the start and I
personally have seen a ton of success
selling my stuff on YouTube and also
just on my Instagram stories and reals
and stuff like that and also for 14 you
can put out free kits to gain followers
you might be wondering well if it's free
how am I going to make money off of this
and that's where having an email list
comes in a lot of producers look at
putting free stuff out wrong and they're
thinking like oh I'm devaluing my stuff
and nobody's going to buy my stuff if
I'm giving them free stuff if you think
of it like a food court inside of a mall
if a restaurant you've never heard of
offers you a free sample you might try
it so you try it and then if it's good
you're definitely way more likely to go
back to that restaurant and actually buy
a full meal but anyways back to the
email list that I was talking about
whenever you put out these free kits
you're going to have it so they have to
put in their email to get the free kit
sent to them and then that email is
going to get added to your email list
and on your email list you're going to
keep marketing to them every single week
with new free stuff valuable articles or
content or whatever you can think of and
then every once once in a while you're
going to try to sell them on a paid
product pretty much you put out free
stuff to get people's attention in an
exchange you get their email and then
you can nurture those leads and sell to
them in the future on email marketing
later on I'm going to get a little bit
more into email marketing and kind of my
strategy with that but for number 15 you
can also sell those same exact sample
packs that you're putting out on other
people's Sample Stores so for example
let's say I make a new trap Loop kit I
post a loop kit on my site but then I
find this other company that I think
that my trap Loop kit fits with their
sound I can put those samples on on that
site and you're probably either going to
get a revenue split deal so like 50/50
splits on the sales or they're just
going to pay you an upfront fee to be
able to sell it on their website and
keep all the profit for them but just
make sure it's not exclusive because
then have 10 other websites also selling
those kits getting more people to look
at your stuff you're just kind of
leveraging every single product that you
put out and then on the flip side of
that if you're focused on selling your
own samples and you're actually getting
a decent amount of sales it might be
worth it to hit up some of your friends
who are making good stuff as well and
then sell it on your website for a 50/50
split or pay them out up front if you
want all right and then for number 17
you can get hired by companies like
producer grind simatics or even me to
help make one shot drum sounds Loops
presets all that kind of stuff for these
big production Suites that we put out
pretty much the way it works is if
someone submits a drum sound I pay them
let's say three or $5 so if you submit
100 sounds and they all make it to the
kit you can make like $500 off of sound
designing and giving it to a different
company all you need to do is focus on
making the sounds if you've got some
extra sounds laying around or you like
sound designing this would definitely be
a good way to get get some money all
right next up for number 18 we got
making custom beats and you can promote
this on your Instagram story you can
have it as an option on your beat Stars
website it's a good way to make a good
amount of money the only downside is you
might end up wasting your time with
someone who doesn't like what you made
but you could even do something where
it's like they pay half up front and
then half at the end once they're happy
with the product just to protect you
from wasting your time and then also
kind of the same thing just a different
side at number 19 we've got selling
custom Loops I've seen people doing this
I don't know how scalable this is but if
you're looking to make some extra money
creating custom Loops for people with
the ideas that they kind of have might
be a good way to make some extra money
all right number 20 this is for people
who can sing or play in live instrument
like a flute or a violin or a guitar
something cool like that you can offer
bigger producers to work with them on
their Loops or you can hit them up and
then treat it as a collab and if they're
getting sales or they're getting
placements you're also going to get a
split of all that so if you've got a
unique skill set like that you can
definitely make money with this and
speaking as someone who works with those
session musician kind of people nobody
really hits me up to do custom vocals or
flutes or whatever it is I'm most likely
going to at least check out your profile
and see if I like your work and with
that if you don't want to DM bigger
producers you can also offer those same
exact services on Fiverr or if you don't
have any special instrument or vocal
skill sets like that you can also offer
production services on Fiverr the
competition for music producers is set
pretty low because the people who are on
there typically don't have the kind of
sound that I feel like a lot of people
are going for these days all right for
number 22 we've got affiliate marketing
let's say you found this VST company
that you really like and you sign up
with their affiliate program and then
you help them make sales by promoting
their link whenever they buy from that
specific link you're going to get a
percentage of the sale and if you're
able to sell a lot of stuff you could
probably make some good money doing this
all right for number 23 you can design
kit cover arts for producers or song
cover arts for artists and this is kind
of leaning more on the side hustle side
cuz you're not really doing anything
involved with music with this however
this could be a great way to build a
valuable relationship with someone and
the best example I could think of is my
boy Zippy Tano who ended up getting a
platinum maybe multiplatinum record off
of offering free graphic design services
to a producer named day6 you can
definitely make some good money just
doing the actual work or you could offer
it for free in exchange for hopefully
getting a relationship with a big
producer or big person that you want to
work with all right number 24 this could
work for either selling Beats to artists
or kits to producers and this is running
flash sales all the way since I was in
high school selling Beats until now
whenever I run a big sale I make a ton
of money like this and in my mind I
don't know why people are so scared to
do bigger discounts because we're
selling digital products with music it
doesn't cost you anything to sell a beat
which is make sure that you don't
Overkill it and do it all the time all
right at number 25 we've got a big one
that's got a bunch of stuff inside of it
that I'm going to go on on the next ones
is building a personal brand my personal
brand has helped me connect with big
producers that never would have given me
the time of day it's helped me make more
money than I ever have because there's
so many different ways that you can
leverage that and as I mentioned before
one of the best things you can do for
number 26 to leverage that big audience
that you grow is to have an email list
if you're trying to build your own Ecom
commer kind of brand and you want to
take anything from this video I
definitely recommend just starting your
email list if you're on beat Stars they
download your beat for free they have to
put in their email by giving them that
free download a bunch of people are
going to download on beat stars and you
get a bunch of emails on your Beats or
if you're more on the kit side of things
like I am just make sure you have
somewhere on your website where people
can sign up for your email list because
once people are on your email list you
own that data forever and nobody can
take that away from me unless I somehow
lose the list or I get hacked or
something but that's why you back it up
all right for number 27 I've got one of
my go-to ways to build my email list
which is min chat Min chat is pretty
much this website or app you connect
your Instagram and then whenever someone
comments with a certain keyword it
automatically DMS them a message that
you can put a link in so for a little
over a year now I've been doing this
combo of Instagram reals with many chat
on it I've been getting so much more
engagement on my posts and so many more
people on my email list because I'm
sending them links to free kits that
brings them to a page where they put in
their email and just to stress how
important email marketing is there's
been months where I've made over $20,000
on my email marketing alone and if
you're wondering what program I use I
use clavio and it's been super super
effective ever since I made the change
from MailChimp to clavia for number 28
you could create like a free bundle that
you just link in every single
description of every single video that
you post so if you're posting type beats
you could just put a free 10 pack of
unlimited lease beats just have that as
a link in the description for every
single beat that you post or if you're
doing something more like me and you're
kind of making tutorials for producers
you can make a pack of mixing presets
Loops go-to drums whatever it is to help
collect more emails whenever you build a
personal brand you can also Branch out
and do things like number 29 selling
merch by the way I'm trying out for the
very first time right now I just dropped
my brand new merch on Friday June 7th
we've got the drum God the sample God
and the loop God shirts and if you buy
any of these t-shirts in the first week
you're also going to get two to three
free kits included with every shirt and
this is going to be a limited release at
least for now click the first link in
the description if you want to check out
my merch that this is my first merch
drop ever I have no idea how this is
going to go so I'll report to you guys
back but moving on to number 30 if
you've got a personal brand you can also
make money from live streams you could
either do song reviews or beat reviews
and pretty much charge something like
five or 10 bucks to skip the line so if
someone's willing to pay $5 to just skip
the line and make sure that they can see
your reaction to their beat you can make
some extra money for honestly just going
on and having a good time listening to
People's music I Won't name any names
but I know people who are making around
$11,000 per stream doing this just
reviewing People's music another thing
you can do once you build a personal
brand is have consultations how to make
your mixes better how to play an
instrument how to record vocals whatever
you do well as a producer if you've got
a brand and you have people who trust
you you can definitely sell one-on-one
calls and make some good money doing
that or yet another thing that you can
do with a personal brand you can do
brand deals and sponsorships and I'm not
going to lie I literally just started
doing these because for the whole time
that I've had this YouTube channel I've
been trying to only be promoting my own
products closed-minded to having anyone
else's products be promoted on here
recently I I guess I sold out now I've
started doing brand deals and
sponsorships and even at a semi small
audience size I'm able to make actually
really good money doing this so if you
build up a personal brand you could
probably be making six figures a year
just off of brand deals and sponsorships
honestly all right for number 33 if
you're building a personal brand on
YouTube You're Going to get money from
AdSense and I will give a little
disclaimer you really have to get a [ __ ]
ton of views to make good money doing
this but it's just another thing to add
it all adds up and for the last thing I
can think of that you could do with a
personal brand is host events I think of
people like Stafford beats and ant
Chamberlain they've been doing this
thing recently where they'll rent out a
whole entire Mansion or a big Studio
they sell tickets or spots to come to
that event and just cook up a bunch of
music with everyone Network and connect
so let's say you book a nice ass Airbnb
for $10,000 for a week and then you
charge $300 per spot assuming you've
actually got a good amount of people who
would be interested in flying in person
to work with you you could probably sell
100 spots or less spots if you don't
want it to be 100 people in one house
you can make some good profit off of
that and honestly it sounds like fun to
just host an event with a bunch of
producers but anyways moving on from the
personal brand stuff number 35 you could
submit your Beats to beat Stars
opportunities it takes almost no time so
you might as well just submit your stuff
to the opportunities tab I've personally
had a bunch of Beats put on their
playlists and I made a bunch of sales
through that so I know it works and also
while we're on the topic of beat Stars
you could run beat Stars ads on your
stuff this is kind of the same slippery
slope that I talked about with Facebook
ads in the beginning of this video but I
do know people who are putting a ton of
money in beat Stars ads and have seen
huge results kind of just catapulting
their whole entire beat catalog to the
top of the charts and then once they get
on the beat Stars top charts they can
just sell like wildfire all right for
number 37 you could start an individual
Loop store on beatstars I remember
seeing this company called by loop.com
they were pretty much running your
standard beat store except they were
just selling individual Loops I think
it's a lot easier of an ask to get
someone to spend three maybe $5 on a
couple loops that they like rather than
$30 on a whole pack that they might only
like two or three Loops from all right
number 38 you can start a patreon in
this definitely would work better with a
big personal brand but inside the
patreon you can put your Loops you can
put cookout videos exclusive content
drum sounds that you've been using
presets you've been using whatever you
want to put in there and honestly I
think there's better ways to monetize
your stuff but if you don't feel like
dealing with all the business stuff just
throwing your stuff on patreon and
getting all of your followers and stuff
onto there could be a good way to make
some money and number 39 this is kind of
the same thing you could sell weekly
Loop subscriptions you can actually set
it up to be a subscription service where
someone's paying I don't know 153 bucks
a month to get all of your loops and if
you've got a solid following or if
you've got a bunch of placements or
opportunities you could definitely make
some good money doing this especially if
you make it feel like it's an exclusive
thing that not everyone can get all
right for number 40 we've got the one
that blew my business up this is the one
that took me from making 800 bucks a
month to making 30k a month and it's
sending your Loops out to Big YouTube or
big beat Stars producers and I've talked
about this a lot so I know a lot of you
guys know how this works but just in
case you don't pretty much what I used
to do is I would go on YouTube and let's
just say I would look up little baby
type beat and then every single person
who ranked on that homepage I would go
and look at their Channel and find their
Instagram and then I would DM them to
try to send them loops and take the time
to make a good message trying to get
their Loop email maybe like find their
most popular beat and be like yo I've
got a bunch of Loops like this get their
Loop email and then send them Loops
every single day and hopefully they're
using them they're going to add you on
beat stars as a collaborator for 50% the
reason this works so well is cuz you're
getting access to all of their audiences
and getting a 50% split on all the sales
that they're making for you is a super
good way to make money just doing this
alone I've probably made close to
$500,000 or more than $500,000 for
number 41 this is kind of piggybacking
on that last one you can go on beat
stars and YouTube and instead of trying
to reach out to these big producers
especially if you're smaller you can go
in the YouTube description and see who
produced the beat and if you start
seeing one name over and over hit up the
producers who are working with the big
producers let's say that you were on
YouTube and beat stars and you just kept
seeing me added as a collaborator you
would want to go and DM me and try to
work with me on collab Loops because
essentially you're going to gain access
to my network of big tip beat producers
Whenever I send out a collab that we
made for number 42 kind of the same
thing if you don't make loops it's not
as effective but you can do the same
thing but with your full beats so if you
make really good Drake R&B type beats
you can hit up a guy who's ranking every
time for Drake R&B type beats and tell
him that you can send him all your Beats
and he can post them for 50/50 splits on
his beat store you're taking away all
the work that he has to go through to
actually make the beat all he has to do
is post it on his beat store and post it
on his YouTube all right for number 43
you can sell guides or video courses on
how to do specific things as a producer
you could sell PDF courses on how to
make your drums better if you're good at
mixing you could make a video course on
mixing sell that I've been seeing this
company mix Elite all over the place
recently on Instagram ads and this would
be a good way without selling Beats or
trying to get placements to make money
as a producer all right for number 44
we've got arguably one of the hardest
ways to make money as a music producer
but if it's done right could make you a
[ __ ] ton of money so personally I've
made over $200,000 in total off of all
of my placement stuff and I've got a
good amount of placements don't get me
wrong but I don't have any number one
billboard smash hits or anything but I
do have an older video on my channel
where I go over a ton of ways similar to
this video that you can get your first
major placement but anyways for 45 off
of those major placements you can get
money off of your publishing or just for
smaller songs that you put out with
Independent Artists or your own beat
tapes that I was talking about earlier
you're also going to get Advanced
upfront money for these big major
placements for 47 we've got Master
royalties so off of one big placement
you're going to get paid in those three
different ways and all those different
things definitely add up also for number
48 it helps build your brand more
whenever you're able to say these are
the same sounds I use for 21 savage or
the same sounds I use for future your
credibility goes way up and you're able
to sell more kits more beats if you're
selling Beats or if you feel like
getting hated on by the producer
Community you could even sell paid
collabs I really wouldn't recommend
doing this for number 49 you can send
out your loops to Big Industry producers
as well a cool way you can go to find
Big Industry producers that aren't
people like Metro Boomin or people that
are unreachable for most of us you can
just go on genius and let's say you like
Kodak Black's recent album every single
producer on genius who is part of that
album you can go and DM every single one
of those people and try to make a
connection either sending starters to
the loop maker who was on the beat or
sending Loops to the person who made
drums on the beat and you can start with
even smaller artists at first just to
kind of build your way up in the
industry sending Loops out to Industry
producers is not any crazy mindblowing
new way to make money but it does work
people have been doing it for a while
and I don't see it stopping working
anytime soon and once you do get those
placements some money will start rolling
in and finally the most important one
subscribe to my YouTube channel for more
videos like this and more gems on how to
make money sorry for the self-plug I
just had to throw that one in there but
there's the 50 ways but if you stay for
just a few more moments I'm going to
give you my top five list on the things
that I actually think are the best thing
to do especially if you're a loop maker
like me more focused on making Melodies
than making drums or full beats like I
said in the very beginning of this video
I think the best thing you can do is
start with one main lane and then just
expand from that don't go doing a
million things at once instead just
choose one that you can really focus in
on all right for number one on my list
since it blew my business up I just have
to put it there sending Loops for
beatstars collab sales like I said I
made over a $500,000 doing this and if
you're already making the loops finding
new people to DM really the only work is
sending out the loops every day which
takes like 5 10 minutes if you're using
a tool like mail track and then for
number two you might as well find some
industry connects as well and just send
those same Loops out to the industry
people like I said placements I made me
anywhere from $200 to $250,000 so this
is definitely worth the extra 10 minutes
a day sending out those Loops to the
industry guys for number three I would
sell sample packs I know I said earlier
I would break down how much money I've
made and since I started in 2021 I've
made
$77,000 which is [ __ ] insane to me
and then number four since you're
already making those sample packs I
would also recommend sending those out
to other sample pack companies whenever
you get an Instagram ad and you see
someone selling Loop kisss just kind of
make a note of them and then hit them up
and ask them if they're open to selling
other people's stuff for a split or an
upfront payment and if you notice all of
those first four things that I just
mentioned rely on one product just
making your Loops so I wouldn't
recommend spreading yourself thin by
making full beats making Loops mixing
for people doing graphic design and all
this stuff if you're just focused on
making Loops there's so many ways that
you can leverage just one Loop each Loop
is kind of acting as the seed that grows
this tree of all these other income
streams that you can make from it and
then for number five I praised it before
I'll praise it again I think the number
one thing that you can do as a producer
is build your personal brand this feeds
into all 50 things that I mentioned on
this list and if you maintain a good
relationship with your audience and
you're not scamming them selling them
horrible products or just being an
[ __ ] you can monetize your brand
forever however you see fit however it
does take a lot of time and dedication
to build a good brand if you think I
missed any ways to make money as a
producer let me know down in the
comments but that's all for me peace
