help me out lol ik yall remember my post its pinnned

 

Every beginning is difficult, try to present your music on other platforms too. Get a free website that you design yourself and maybe add a few songs from SoundCloud. Are you already on SoundCloud? Be patient and create a meaningful logo, go to YouTube and open a channel...!

Publish in very good quality. Learn and take your time, you have a lot of competition that is all competing for the listeners' favor and attention.
If you want to get rich, you'd better go to work or write and produce better songs.

 

Yes, it's a real shame. It makes me really sad! You know what? If you pay me i'll start following you!

 

There a few factors. Obviously, your beats have to be good. That's a no brainer.

The important thing is you kinda have to have a niche, and stick with it. For instance, like, if you make Travis Scott type beats, then ONLY upload "Travis Scott Type Beats", if you do a bunch random niches, like Justin Bieber Type Beat, Migos Type Beat, Katy Perry Type Beat, etc. It will be hard to build a following.

I suggest picking a style or artist that you enjoy making, and strictly only make and upload those types of beats.

Good thumbnails help.

I have gotten over 1k Subs doing this, it kinda slowed down for me because I have not been uploading that munch since I had my son.

 

Now Zuck wants your money so you pay him now to be visible. The more you pay him the more visible you are. I'm sure you have seen that big blue button on your post, the one that says "promote reel". Click it, spend money on it. Everything in this life grows faster with money.

 

Also wanted to note. that you are competing with over two billion monthly active users worldwide on all platforms. With close to 4 million videos uploaded daily. Everything takes time and cutting through all that static is a slow process. It like going to the gym for a week expecting to be super swol. Gonna take some time and some hard reps to see the gains. Keep grinding!

 

I recommend drawing a pentagram and pacting with Satan but I realize that route isn't for everyone

 

and keep in mind: not all type beats videos with milions views on youtube sells beats on the stores, the more, sometimes type beats channels are popular on YouTube but dont sell or put placements

it seems that the "type beat is a genre in his own way" on youtube. Many upload long mixed 1 hour videos with almost the same beat repeated 40 times and get 2 millions views, probably people working or studying that needs something playing in the background but with no vocals, like a lullaby to work study or relax. Thats another way to make money on Youtube with type beats

the type beat game is very complex nowadays

 

I'm gonna ignore that you're unaware of the industry landscape—otherwise you'd have known you wouldn't gain any traction in a week—as well as the oddly phrased "understand my DAW," which makes it sound like you came to some sort of tentative accord with it.

My best piece of advice for "type beats," is to recognize it for the niche approach to beatmaking that it is, and understand that "type beats" require you to be an actual producer like Rick Rubin is a producer. "Type beats" aren't beats that sound like beats made for Drake, or Griselda, or whoever, they're beats that you can hear those artists sounding objectively good over. Your beats don't have to sound anything like previous cuts of theirs (though it's not a bad idea to take note of general range,) they just have to fit the artist, even if it might push the artist out of their usual zone. This is the niche version of the age-old advice "make better beats."

But if you're just straight going for views/numbers and using YT/IG for an entertainment base, and not as a foothold, feel free to run with what patatern said about "upload[ing] long mixed 1 hour videos with almost the same beat repeated 40 times and get 2 millions views, probably people working or studying" and churn out as much as you can until you hit some steady numbers by sheer odds. Seems thankless to me as an artist, and with YT/IG being what it is nowadays, the compensation seems weak if you're not pulling significant numbers, but everyone's got a different caliber by which they gauge their time spent versus returns.

(No slight, @patatern —you laid out a raw description, so I lazily cc'ed it. )

 

can yall stop putting people off oh my god its like a competition the hell do you mean im gonna ignore
i have already made money off my music and yall love 2 piss ppl off that wants any help and treat it like a joke because yall been in the game longer
that dont give yall to right to treat ppl like theyre jokes

i dont even want to read this because of that first sentence
get a grip and stop pissing new ppl of the forum

 

that 1 hour thing sounds rlly good tbh

 

ts not funny

 

That's Diddy Shit

 

this forum is like 90% boomers, ask on reddit if you want more detailed and better explanations from other producers actually doing the same

 

Why not invest in your own voice? I can't imagine being frustrated because the beats I make trying to sound like other artists aren't getting views.

 

Focus on the music of your own country. Despite the fact that we live in the world of technology and internet, the music economy is usually limited to the country where the artist lives. Music produced in western countries is not popular among the people of eastern countries and vice versa.
Either you should immigrate to a country in Western Europe and later start making music that you like, or you should stay in your country and respect the musical traditions that are common in it and make music in that space. Music business is more related to the local and regional listeners than the individual decisions of the artist. It is the listeners who will ultimately decide what you make.

 

Haha, word? Oddly enough, I'm gonna say you should listen to @realpirate on this one, @kilyohearts . The fact you're gonna skip over advice simply cuz you caught feelings means you probably should jump over to r/ thread. Peace.

 

Well, and it worked
