🎶 Fast-Track to Earning $10,000 as a Music Producer

This paragraph introduces the video, where the creator shares three strategies to earn over $10,000 monthly as a music producer. Drawing from personal experience of making over $800,000 online, the speaker emphasizes the importance of leveraging knowledge and opportunities. The first method discussed is selling beats on BeatStars. The speaker notes that while BeatStars is a known platform, many producers do not maximize its potential. A primary strategy mentioned is collaboration sales, where the speaker sends melodies to prominent producers on BeatStars or YouTube. By doing this daily, the speaker managed to significantly increase their earnings from $700 to over $10,000 monthly by focusing on one collaboration per day and building up from there. The speaker encourages leveraging others' audiences and suggests another approach to building a personal brand by posting type beats on YouTube and using BeatStars’ features like playlists and reposting beats. Collecting emails through free downloads is also highlighted as a key to sustaining and growing sales.

🛠️ Selling Sound Kits for Profit

This paragraph discusses the second method to earn over $10,000 as a music producer: selling sound kits. The speaker shares their success with their sound kit company, Loop Stash, which generated nearly $300,000 in two years. A critical strategy for this success is using Instagram ads, starting with creating a valuable sound kit that offers more than its price. To promote the kit, a preview video is posted on Instagram, and ads are run with automatic targeting for about $5 a day. The speaker highlights the importance of having an audience primarily composed of music producers for effective ad targeting. Additionally, influencer marketing is used by paying or offering a commission to producers with a large following to promote kits. Another tactic is dropping free kits in exchange for email sign-ups, which helps build a list of potential buyers. Regular engagement with this email list by sending free loops can convert free users into paying customers. The speaker shares how email marketing led to significant sales, demonstrating its power as a tool to increase revenue from sound kits.

📈 Boosting Sales Through Content Creation

This paragraph outlines the third method: making content to build a personal brand and drive sales. The speaker stresses the growing importance of content creation, particularly short-form videos, to gain visibility and attract customers. They describe a strategy of posting daily short videos showcasing beats to accumulate views and followers, which could eventually lead to inquiries and sales. To capitalize on this engagement, the speaker suggests offering free beats for non-profit use to viewers who comment on the posts, facilitated through an app called ManyChat to automate responses. This process helps build an email list, which can be leveraged for ongoing engagement and sales. The speaker illustrates how a sizable email list, cultivated through consistent content and value offerings, can convert a portion of followers into paying customers, potentially generating substantial monthly income. They emphasize the need for consistency and patience, as growth might not be immediate but can be significant over time. Finally, they encourage combining these strategies while acknowledging the challenges of managing multiple approaches.

Transcripts

play00:00

today I'm going to show you three

play00:01

different ways to make over ten thousand

play00:03

dollars a month as a music producer and

play00:05

if you're wondering why you should

play00:06

listen to me I've made over eight

play00:08

hundred thousand dollars selling my

play00:09

Beats online and I truly believe that if

play00:11

I had some of this knowledge when I was

play00:12

starting out I would have been able to

play00:14

Fast Track my way to the results that I

play00:16

have today so I want to share my

play00:17

knowledge with you and hopefully help

play00:19

you along your journey to making over

play00:20

ten thousand dollars a month as a music

play00:22

producer first way to make ten thousand

play00:24

dollars a month as a music producer is

play00:26

selling on beat Stars although beat

play00:28

stars is by no means a secret I truly

play00:30

believe 99 of producers aren't using it

play00:33

to its fullest potential there are so

play00:35

many ways to make money inside the

play00:36

beatstars ecosystem that many people

play00:38

don't take advantage of so let's get

play00:40

into some of those the first method I

play00:42

have to make money on beatstars is

play00:43

collab sales this is how I personally

play00:45

make over eighty percent of the money

play00:47

that I make on beatstars I've already

play00:49

gone over this in more detail in some

play00:50

previous videos so I'm gonna go over

play00:52

this part a little quick to make money

play00:53

off collabs on beatstars I send my

play00:55

Melodies to producers who already have a

play00:57

big platform on beat stars or YouTube

play00:59

and and whenever they use my melody

play01:01

they'll add me for 50 50 splits on any

play01:04

sales that the beat gets I send my

play01:05

Melodies out to these big producers

play01:07

every single day to make sure that I'm

play01:09

consistently getting collabs but let's

play01:11

say you lean more towards making drums

play01:13

versus making Melodies you can copy this

play01:15

same exact strategy but use your full

play01:17

beats instead of Melody so first thing

play01:19

you need to do is find some big

play01:20

producers who have a similar sound to

play01:22

you DM them on Instagram and ask for

play01:24

permission to send them finished beats

play01:26

for their beat Stars once you get their

play01:27

email you're gonna send them your Beats

play01:29

but tell them that they can take 50 of

play01:31

the sales that are made on that beat it

play01:33

works great for them because they get to

play01:34

make money off something that they

play01:36

didn't even work on you get the

play01:37

opportunity to make more money than you

play01:39

would have if you just posted it by

play01:41

yourself that was my goal in the

play01:42

beginning and after staying dedicated to

play01:44

getting at least one collab per day I

play01:46

went from making around 700 a month to

play01:48

over ten thousand dollars a month in

play01:50

less than a year which is crazy and

play01:52

obviously over time I got added more

play01:54

than one time per day by big producers

play01:56

but starting out with one collab a day

play01:58

is a super good goal leveraging other

play01:59

other people's followings is a great way

play02:01

to make money when you don't have a big

play02:03

brand yourself but if you want to work

play02:04

more on building your own brand up you

play02:07

can also do that on beat Stars the

play02:08

obvious and most popular way to build a

play02:10

brand on beat stars is post type beats

play02:12

on YouTube and drive the traffic from

play02:14

your YouTube views onto your beat store

play02:16

and there are countless examples of

play02:18

producers who are making way more than

play02:20

ten thousand dollars a month doing this

play02:21

if you want to grow your type B channel

play02:23

to over ten thousand dollars a month you

play02:25

should be posting amazing beats every

play02:27

single day staying consistent with your

play02:29

keywords and the sound of your Beats and

play02:31

stick with it consistently for a long

play02:33

period of time but while you're waiting

play02:35

for your type B channel to grow there

play02:37

are some dope ways to make some money

play02:38

inside of beatstars one thing you can do

play02:40

is submit to beatstar's playlist in the

play02:42

opportunities tab if I were starting out

play02:44

I would submit Every Beat I could to

play02:46

these opportunities because if you get

play02:48

added to a big beat Stars playlist it's

play02:50

gonna instantly give you a boost in

play02:52

views and sales on your Beats and if

play02:54

you're constantly submitting new beats

play02:56

you have a way better chance of getting

play02:57

picked another thing I've seen working

play02:59

for some of the top producers on

play03:00

beatstars is reposting your Beats if you

play03:03

look at my beatstar's feed you can see

play03:04

that a couple producers are taking up

play03:06

the whole entire thing and this isn't

play03:08

because they're posting that many beats

play03:10

in a day but they're reposting their

play03:12

most popular beats multiple times a day

play03:14

so that they're constantly in their

play03:16

followers faces so I would make sure to

play03:18

do this three to five times a day with

play03:19

your best beats to make sure you're

play03:21

always in your followers feed think

play03:23

about it like this if every time a

play03:25

rapper opens beat Stars they see your

play03:27

Beats on the home page they're more

play03:28

likely to check them out and eventually

play03:30

buy one if they see you every single day

play03:32

over the course of a month versus just

play03:34

one time whenever you post a new beat

play03:36

and there are more ways to get traffic

play03:37

to your beat Stars than just YouTube

play03:39

type beats which I'll get into later

play03:41

another key thing you should do to grow

play03:43

your bead Stars business is collecting

play03:44

emails on free downloads of your Beats

play03:46

this is going to help you grow an email

play03:48

list of artists who like your Beats and

play03:50

it can help you sustain and even grow

play03:52

your sales which again we'll get into

play03:54

later so if you're posting amazing beats

play03:56

to your beat stars and YouTube Every Day

play03:58

Landing one or more collabs with a big

play04:01

producer on beat Stars every day and

play04:03

using all the tools available inside

play04:05

beatstars to help boost your sales I

play04:07

think it's very realistic to make

play04:08

anywhere from a couple thousand to well

play04:10

over ten thousand dollars a month the

play04:12

next way you can make over ten thousand

play04:14

dollars a month as a music producer is

play04:16

selling sound kits I've been running my

play04:18

own sound kit company Loop stash for

play04:20

over two years now and I've made nearly

play04:22

three hundred thousand dollars selling

play04:23

my kids through there most of My Success

play04:25

with Loop stash was built off one key

play04:27

strategy Instagram ads and the way I run

play04:29

these ads is pretty simple the first

play04:31

thing you need to do is obviously make

play04:33

your sound kit this could be a drum kit

play04:35

Loop kit preset pack whatever you want

play04:37

to make but keep in mind if you want

play04:39

your kit to do well you need to offer

play04:41

more value in your kit than you're

play04:42

charging for for example we have Kit a

play04:45

and kit B both kits are just as fire but

play04:47

kit a comes with 15 Loops for thirty

play04:49

dollars and kit B comes with 30 loops

play04:52

and exclusive in-depth tutorial and a

play04:55

bonus drum kit all for that same thirty

play04:57

dollars nine times out of ten kit B is

play04:59

gonna to do way better than kit a so now

play05:02

that you have a good quality sound kit

play05:03

you're going to want to make a simple

play05:04

preview video and post it up on

play05:06

Instagram and once you've made this post

play05:08

all you need to do is press the blue

play05:10

boost post button then set your audience

play05:12

to automatic and run your ads for about

play05:14

five dollars a day to make sure your ads

play05:16

work though you need to make sure that

play05:17

most of your followers are music

play05:19

producers since it's an automatic

play05:20

audience if you've got a bunch of

play05:22

friends from high school or rappers

play05:24

following you it's going to Target

play05:25

people like them and they're not

play05:27

interested in buying your Loop kit so

play05:28

you want to make sure your audience is

play05:30

mostly music producers so that the ads

play05:32

can run effectively the first month I

play05:34

use this strategy I made a thousand

play05:36

dollars and then four thousand dollars

play05:38

the second month and then the third

play05:39

month I had a huge jump up to eleven

play05:42

thousand dollars but this jump wasn't

play05:43

due to the Instagram ads I had tried a

play05:45

new strategy I decided to pay big

play05:47

producer influencers to promote my Loop

play05:50

kits on their YouTube videos and as you

play05:51

can see here there was an instant spike

play05:53

in sales however it can be expensive to

play05:56

do so a great alternative to this

play05:57

instead of sending them the money up

play05:59

front offer them fifty percent of

play06:01

whatever sales they bring to the kit

play06:02

another thing you can do to grow your

play06:04

sound kit business is drop free kits I

play06:06

know it sounds kind of counterintuitive

play06:08

but let me break it down for you since

play06:09

you're dropping the kit for free the

play06:11

more people are gonna download it but

play06:12

instead of giving it away completely for

play06:14

free you're going to want to make them

play06:15

sign up for your email list think of

play06:17

dropping free kits as an investment

play06:19

let's say you drop a free kit and it

play06:21

gets a thousand downloads if your kits

play06:23

are really good that might lead to a

play06:25

hundred paying customers who are going

play06:26

to buy some of your future kits but to

play06:28

actually convert those a thousand

play06:30

downloaders into a hundred paying

play06:32

customers you need to stay active with

play06:34

your email list and give them more value

play06:35

than you ask for in return one thing I

play06:38

do to give value to my email subscribers

play06:40

is send them four to five free Loops

play06:42

every single week this helps keep them

play06:44

engaged with my emails because they're

play06:45

getting free stuff and it also keeps me

play06:47

in the front of their mind which can

play06:49

even lead to more sales later on as you

play06:51

can see here in November of last year I

play06:53

made over eight thousand dollars just

play06:54

off my email list for Loop stash and you

play06:56

can apply the same exact concept to your

play06:58

Beats which will get get into later

play07:00

before I get into the next method to

play07:02

make over ten thousand dollars a month

play07:03

as a producer I made a completely free

play07:06

PDF file listing out every single way

play07:08

that I can think of to make money as a

play07:10

music producer so make sure to check

play07:11

that out all that I ask for in return is

play07:13

that you hit that subscribe button so I

play07:15

can keep making videos like this the

play07:17

next way to make over ten thousand

play07:18

dollars a month as a music producer is

play07:20

making content nowadays content is

play07:22

taking over and it's doing so faster

play07:24

than ever building a personal brand with

play07:26

content is essential to give yourself a

play07:28

better chance at making over ten

play07:30

thousand dollars a month if you're like

play07:31

me you've seen a ton of producers pop up

play07:34

making videos like this

play07:36

and you might be wondering can you

play07:38

actually make money off of posting those

play07:40

kind of videos and the answer is yes if

play07:43

you do it right I've got one easy

play07:44

example for you to get started making

play07:46

short form content that could lead to

play07:48

thousands in beat sales every month

play07:50

you've probably seen some videos like

play07:52

these

play07:53

[Music]

play07:54

and you might not have thought much of

play07:56

them but let me show you how you can

play07:57

turn content like that into money let's

play07:59

say you post a video like that every day

play08:01

and over the course of a month you get a

play08:03

total of a hundred thousand views before

play08:05

I lose you right there it isn't as hard

play08:07

as it sounds when you break it down if

play08:08

you post 30 of those videos a month and

play08:11

get an average of around 3 333 views per

play08:14

video then you'll reach 100 000 views in

play08:17

the course of a month now this might not

play08:18

happen on your first month or your

play08:20

second or even your third but if you

play08:22

stick to posting one of these videos a

play08:24

day and your Beats are super fire it's

play08:26

definitely doable so let's say you've

play08:27

got that 100 000 views and you've also

play08:29

gained some followers by getting all

play08:31

those views you're probably going to get

play08:32

a couple rappers dming you here and

play08:34

there saying they want to buy the beat

play08:35

but I think there's a much better way to

play08:37

do this you're gonna give them the beat

play08:39

for free for non-profit use on your Tick

play08:42

Tock are real you're going to want to

play08:43

put text on screen that says something

play08:45

like comment free to get this beat DM to

play08:47

you this is going to lead to a lot more

play08:49

people engaging with your posts because

play08:50

you're giving them something for free

play08:52

that being said it could be a lot of

play08:53

work to make manually go through every

play08:55

single comment that says free and

play08:57

sending them to be so you're going to

play08:58

want to set up your Instagram with this

play09:00

app called manychat it's going to

play09:01

automatically DM everybody who comments

play09:04

free and send them the download link to

play09:06

their freebie on that download link

play09:07

they're gonna get to be for free but

play09:09

they're also gonna have to sign up for

play09:11

your email list so going back to those

play09:12

100 000 views that you got let's say a

play09:15

thousand people total comment free to

play09:17

get their free beat so now you've got a

play09:19

thousand new people on your email list

play09:20

you can send them two to three emails a

play09:23

week and also send them free beats every

play09:25

single week by giving your email list

play09:26

more free beats you're giving them value

play09:29

which makes them more likely to stay

play09:31

engaged and actually buy something when

play09:33

you promote a new paid beat that you

play09:35

just dropped let's say out of those a

play09:36

thousand people who joined your email

play09:38

list you can get 50 of them to actually

play09:40

buy a 30 beat lease that's fifteen

play09:43

hundred dollars a month off the first a

play09:44

thousand people you get signed up to

play09:46

your list now let's say you continue

play09:47

this strategy for a full year and

play09:49

getting a thousand new email list

play09:51

subscribers every single month you would

play09:53

now have 12 people on your email list

play09:55

and let's say as you grow the conversion

play09:57

rate of email subscribers to paying

play09:59

customers goes down a bit and for every

play10:01

a thousand people on your email list you

play10:03

can get 30 people to buy a 30 lease that

play10:06

means now you could potentially have 360

play10:08

rappers willing to buy a 30 beat every

play10:11

single month and that would make you

play10:13

around ten thousand eight hundred

play10:14

dollars off your email list alone not to

play10:17

mention in that period you will have

play10:18

gotten over 1.2 million views on your

play10:21

socials which is sure to lead to a big

play10:23

increase in followers and help your

play10:25

brand grow over time now I'm not saying

play10:27

this is going to work for everyone or

play10:28

even work as quickly as 12 months but if

play10:31

you stay consistent this could

play10:32

definitely grow to a ten thousand dollar
