How to Sell Beats for a Living in 2024

Yes faith, confidence, and grind. I decided to put all my time into making beats/instrumentals in late 2019, and still 4 years later I wake up at 3 am almost every week day to either create or learn. Im starting to see some traction, and know it's possible.

This guy is an inspiration man...im.glad i found this video ... i feel it can be possible to live a life doing what you love ❤

Very good answer when he says he has to give it up to God and I would also say it has to do with the individual also. This man can only motivate you so much you have to motivate yourself to the point where you rise above everything. Saying the industry is saturated is it easy way to make an excuse why you failed. In certain industries saturation is a true problem. I would say rhyming is more saturated than beat making by far. Marijuana is going to be the most saturated industry in the world in a second so I definitely know what I'm talking about. but even in a saturated industry If You're Something Special you can Rise Above the Rest especially like he said with the grace of God

this one and the other video you made "if selling beats are evil". I have two or three friends that could benefit off these videos. Will be sharing

Something ain’t adding up 😂😂

Pain, I had that thing happen to me with someone wanting someone else's beat from me. What I ended up doing once he told me the name was I
went to my page and contacted that producer and the dude ended up buying his beat and one from me as well.

So I'm just wondering, since I'm not really big into making beats like trap or drill or things that can be rapped over. Is this only possible for these types of genres or can tracks/beats be sold in different genres like lo-fi, chillstep, or synthwave, etc. and if so how so? Sample packs?

This guys mindset is great 👊🏽🚀

Definitely going to integrate my beatstore into the website now, that's a gem in itself.

Great interview Pain...Salute 2vMac11 for keeling the fire alive 🎉

🙏🙏Bless up Pain

Don't quit your job people. Not until you have solidified profits and financial security incoming.

Pain1 discouraged and killed my fire for selling beats online a long time ago. I avoided his content for years and here we go again. He is making a video about sellings beats online.

Trying to make it happen Thanks we Three Toes Productions

Part 2? 👀👀

What do you do about Licensing?

Its fucking weird because I personally know a few producers who got way more subscribers, followers and placements than this guy and they dont make nowhere near $65,000. Plus I heard from producers that most rappers dont want to pay for beats nowadays. How the f he is making 65k???? I smell bullshit.

Dope interview

i don't know man

Some gold in this video 🙌 I quit my job 2 months ago to start doing this, now releasing 3 beats a day and starting to see some progress but still a long way to go 🙌

N1

What does he use?(fl, ableton, mpc)

"Jobs come easy..." yea ok mr privilege

@mack11beats...
Continued success and Infinite blessings Fam! 🙏🏾🫡🫱🏾‍🫲🏽💯

I wish social proof was showed...

I'm at a net negative. Flat minus my equipment haha thanks for what you guys do 😎🤙

"faith is key"

Few months of consistently posting Drill / Trap / Hip hop beats which to be honest is my second love. I ignored my first love which is actually for old school reggae beats as I figured the online market isn't there so much. Just so happened to throw a loose reggae beat out under the name Bob Marley Type Beat and got my highest amount in sales and views within a week (still very moderate). MAKE WHAT YOU LIKE. Point blank. Or am I wrong?

@djpain respect always listen to your content 👊 I have a question, I check @mack11beats and it sounds more trap style. My style is more Boombap, do you think it might work the same way (I mean selling beats) and make enough or the amount of money ?

Great interview!

Thank you yet again for this priceless knowledge pain1, i appreciate your time that you give to all producers

shouts out to this brother for having the courage and fortitude to pursue his dreams. even bigger shoutout to his lady because its extremely hard to get your own blood backing u, moreless or significant other....some relationships kill individual dreams as well.stories like these are what keep the industry hungry

His sight is not coming up and I can't find his instagram. What is it?

You asked some really solid questions man thanks for the gems. Whoever says u guys are "gatekeeping" is cap.

Dudes killing it with the name Mac11. Thats wild, googling or even looking up on here, I can't find anything by him. There's 4 million "mac11" and "mac11 beats" etc etc, whether it be the producers name or the beat name. Deffo feels like word of mouth is 100% the most important way to make sales.

hard work always pays off, loved hearing about his leap of faith and how it worked out for him 🙏

Thanks for giving helpful and inspiring lessons to beginner producers. 🔥🔥🔥

Quit your job for 65k with no backup plan and no publishing nah

Mannn you can either take inspiration or feel like people got some type of luck you don’t have…. I’m def taking the inspiration 💪

If You Can Convince Someone In your Support Group to Do The Administration types of Marketing of Behalf of The Things You Say You Can Improve On... That May Free Up More Time For You To Just Be PRODUCT PRODUCTIVE. Anyone Can Be Taught to use the computer/Navigate to a specific Task, They Just Need The Will And Inspiration.

Wow 60+k is very solid! Thanks for sharing the info guys 🙏🏽

Life is very simple and we keep overcomplicating it. Can't chase money over happines, you might end up miserable with some cash doing something you can't stand. Great video!

Great video very inspirational🔥🔥🔥

New banner ? Looks great…..

This interview really helps me for my future efforts.
