I know there's a lot of producers that

want to know how to sell beats online. It

could be a tough thing if you don't

really know which way to go. Imma show

you how I made my first 60K off of

selling beats off of Beastars. Let's go!

Alright well the first thing I did,

apparently, I got a Beastars account.

I signed that with Beastars and for the

first 6 months to 7 months, I didn't

catch not one sale at all. But I posted

every single day. So that's the first

thing I'm going to say I did. I posted

every single day. 365 days in a year. So

in a year I had 365 beats in my catalog.

I want to break down year by year how my

sales went so you can see how it goes.

Like I said for the first year and a

half, for the first year and some change,

I didn't make no sales at all.

Damn!

Alright, let me log into my Beastars.

Every freeze, Beastars,(...) sales.

Alright, let me take it back.

Let me take it to,

alright let me go to 2017.

I know I didn't sell no beats back then

but I just want to take it back there and

make sure I catch everything.(...) June

the 4th, so today is June

the 4th. Put it on 2018.

So this is my first year right here.

No data. No order, no

beats. Let's see, put it to 2019.

$40.

Your boy got 40 bucks.

That's when I knew it was true. I kept

one after that. $40 a whole year. $40.

Alright, let's see, let's go to 2020.

Let's see what I was

able to do in that year.

$4,000. I got it from $40 to $4,000. So

that's crazy. I started going crazy.

$4,000, $1,800 worth of beat, collab

sales, net sales, $3,000.(...) This

counts 240. Sold 106 beats, at least 106

beats.(...) Alright,

put it up another year.

$21, June the 4th.

Alright, I took it to 22.

Man, that's a big increase right there.

I started going crazy.

$8,000 in collab sales, man. I

always fix those collabs, man.

Let's see, let's go to another year.

June the 4th, 2022.

Got it to 38.

So it's still going crazy. You know what

I'm saying? It's going up and up. But for

2018 to 2019, I wasn't doing nothing. You

got to see it on

through, man. Trust the process.

Alright,(...) let's go to 2023. June the

4th. Which is today. Let's

see, June the 4th. Nah, man.

62,000. So I did it. I got over the 50K.

Now my goal is to get at least 100, 200K

to a million. I almost got $10,000 worth

of collab sales, 52,000 in

net sales. This counts $3,000.

Almost might as well say $4,000 in

discounts. Almost selling a thousand

items. Gross, 62,000.(...) As you can

see, I haven't hit the thousand mile mark

yet, but I'm damn near on this. You know

what I'm saying? So once you find your

lane and you find your niche, then you

know which direction to go. A lot of

people ask, "Where is your niche and how

do you find it?" You find it by posting

beats all the time, and then you check

your stats to see what your audience is

loving about. So that's how I was really

able to figure out my niche of the beats

that worked out best for me, because I

would post all the time. So I would go

off of the stats of the beats that I

posted, and I would just start to post

that kind of beat. For me, my two that

worked for me was Money Man type beats

and City Girl type beats. My Money Man

type beats started to take off first. I

actually got a placement with a couple of

Money Man's artists just off of me

posting Money Man beats online. But when

the first beat starts to take off, that's

when you're going to start to lease

beats. No, I had beats that I haven't had

that many views on, but I still made some

money off of that too,

so thank God for that.

But anyway, and my second was City Girl's

type beats. My City Girl type beats was

not as much as the Money Man type beats,

but nowadays, the City Girl type beats is

higher than the Money Man type beats on

my channel. So it fluctuates, you know

what I'm saying? So I got to go with

what's going on. So right now, I'm doing

City Girl beats.(...) I ended up getting

a placement with a Saucy Santana, which

is kind of like a City Girl type of vibe.

So my channel went up even more off of

the City Girl type beats. So when that

happened, I was like, "Shit, I'm about to

go post some City Girl

beats." Get me a Hell Yeah!

I would go on different platforms like

Instagram, Facebook, and I would pay for

ads. I even paid for Google ads, and I

paid for BeatStars profile ads and song

ads. So I was paying for ads at the time,

but that's another thing that you got to

keep in mind too. Do not expect to sell a

beat just because you pay for ads.(...)

You know, everybody wants that in return,

but it actually doesn't work like that.

You're really paying for branding

awareness. So once you get that in your

mind and you can just pay it out and

don't think about it, I promise you the

money will eventually come back, but it's

not an instant sometimes. You know what

I'm saying? It's not an instant

sometimes. I would go to music

conferences and different places like

that to promote my beat link and my

YouTube link. I would just go where I

know the artist is at, regardless if it's

a talent show or if it's a music

conference or I get invited to a music

conference or anything like that. I would

just always make sure I go and I go

promote what artists is at, because how

else are we going to lease beats if we

don't got no artists? You know what I'm

saying? So another thing I did that

played a big part, which is a major part

that I feel, is I meditated. I meditated

and I manifested to be able to sell beats

online and to get placements. I did that

a couple of times out of the week. I

researched about meditation and found out

different frequencies

that work good for you.

That I put you in that state. So I

started to do that and I manifested that.

When I started to work towards it, it

just started to happen. So I know that

stuff like that is real. So I would

always tell people to go and manifest and

meditate and really take that stuff

seriously. I lied to you. After

meditating, I ended up getting another

placement with BRS Cash and Milado with

the Cash App record. It's strictly off of

YouTube, strictly from posting beats

every day. They found it on YouTube and

they used it. So that stuff really does

work. Another thing I did was pay for

influencers to rap to my beats, pay them

to dance like famous dancers or TikTokers

to do something to one of my beats. And

that would bring awareness to me too. And

people can go and just click the link and

then I'll just transfer them to my beat

stars. So another pro tip that I did, I

got Earbit also. See, Earbit has a

content ID system that's dope. I think

it's really, really dope. And I would

register my beats into the Earbit and

they would go and get the people who

didn't actually lease it from me. They

would go and I would collect off of their

monetization on YouTube. You know, with

enough songs and enough views that I can

add up for another monthly screen of

income that can work good for you. So,

you know what I'm saying? I had beat

stars. I was uploading all my beats to

BeatStars and I had an Earbit and I was

uploading all my beats to my Earbit just

to get the monthly monetization off of

the people who was

not paying for my beats.

To sum it up, man, and all in all, all I

really did was focus and stay down. I

really focused and I stayed down and I

just looked at the future picture of it.

Just post beats all the time. The more

beats you got, the more your name is in

the algorithm, the more people are going

to see you, the more people are going to

want to rap to your beats if you got some

good beats. You got to have some good

beats. I forgot to add that part inside

there. You got to have some good beats.

It don't have to be the best in the

world, but the quality has to be straight

and it has to sound good. Our audience

has to be able to rap to it. Your YouTube

is real important to help to go with the

BeatStars. They're like two and two. If

you can get them to go together, you will

sell a whole lot of beats.

I would get a thumbnail off of Instagram

of the latest picture of the tight beat

and I would put it in the video and I

would just slap it on YouTube. When you

feed your audience, you're going to make

more and more and more money leasing. I

hope I motivated you. I hope I put some

type of motivation to let you know that

it is possible. Know that it does not

come overnight. Know that it takes time

and a lot of consistency. If you got

those parameters installed into you,

you're going to start leasing beats.(...)

Post consistently. Pay for ads. Know your

niche.(...) Network. That's all you

really need to sell beats online. It's

really just that simple, but the

consistency is the number one thing.

Consistency and hard work beats talent

nowadays. So don't forget that. Do me a

favor. Like and subscribe to my channel.

I got plenty more content coming on the

way. We go do this a day at a time.
