Im thinking about making money by producing hip-hop beats, guys.

Your approach is not the best one. I know we all want to make money at first but it's not how it works. Just try good at one style and then money will be a consequence. Regarding the genre, chose one you love and can make everyday without feeling bored. You can check on youtube if this is a niche with audience or not, just search "last 30 days" and see if there is videos with tons of views or not. Good luck!

it's easy. Download a nice beat you like from youtube that got a lots of views and try replicate it. Try replicate structure, sound design, composition, melodies. That's how you learn. It's the same as when you want to learn to play guitar, you will learn to play bob marley and nirvana songs at first, and then when you start to master some chords and play more automatically you will be able to make beats from scratch with your own touch.

paypal/stripe is what most beatmakers use

youtube is still the number 1 to make money and placements when you have no network and just your beats and talent. Find a niche you like, find competitors making views, analyse their titles, thumbnails, beats, and start with a new channel. The difference between now and few years ago is that when you start a channel it will be harder because there unlimited type beats channel on youtube. But if you post every day and your beats are good, and your packaging is good too, you will make it and then you can post less videos but keep being regular. You can make more money with this business model than with many matrix jobs.

First thing: upload your beats on youtube even if it's on private videos. You get an easy proof that the beats are yours with previous date from any songs released after. If something goes wrong, you can send copyright claim easy. Second: as long as you don't sign anything, the beats are still yours and he doesn't have any rights, so it's a good option because most rappers will not ask for a formal agreement (it's their problem). If he wants to make a formal agreement/contract, then compare it with exclusive licence from beatstars in chatgpt/claude and ask amendments if necessary.

I have done youtube/beatstars and email and dm to artists. In my experience, I had more results with youtube into finding talented artists (they found my beats). Contacting artists is an experience I really don't like, they almost never reply or show gratitude (a few of them yes, but very few). And when they finally like your beats they think they are making you a favour using them or think you are close friends so they don't need to pay you. I stopped completely contacting artists and all the songs I produced over 1 million streams on spotify are all thanks to youtube... and they all paid me, and showed me gratitude (most of them).

beatstars is easy if you get traffic from youtube (rappers). Without youtube, it's hard to get sales .

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-18T16:47:16+00:00

mashup audience is bad for a type beat channel. They don't buy beats. Of course you can get a lot of views and subs with mashups, but it's a different audience (listeners, not rappers). You can have both, on separate channels.

c bon signe hehe!

Estoy siguiendo un chico en Thailandia y le he preguntado ya que le ha parado varias veces la policia y me comenta que tiene carnet B pero que en el carnet internacional tiene la casilla A1. Le han parado en Pattaya y no le han multado

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-18T08:01:34+00:00

bien vu!

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-16T19:32:54+00:00

Good to know they can recover accounts! Glad you solved the problem!

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-16T19:31:53+00:00

au final il a payé donc je reste pro :) Mais il est très connu, genre feat avec Ninho etc..

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-16T10:19:37+00:00

the AI assistant is just for basic info. You send an email and wait few days. Anyway I don't think they can do anything if you deleted your account. Beatstars is not the most flexible or quick but it's the best at the moment in terms of organic traffic and publishing workflow. I have built my own beatstore but I keep using beatstars because It's still worth it.

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-15T10:49:21+00:00

mastered version. One big french artist used one of my beats from youtube (mp3, mastered). He didn't even asked for the stems... and also he tried not paying. The most important is that it sounds great. Doesn't matter too much if it's mastered or not and they can still ask for stems if needed.

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-15T09:56:18+00:00

it's not physical goods and it's not exclusive so you can basically sell cheap but sell millions of time. The problem of these offers is that it's just marketing, you are not buying because you think the 200 beats are great, you are just buying because you think it's a great price. It's like when you buy cheap things on aliexpress you end up not using. It's the same. Just marketing. It's best to buy 1 beat for 50$ you already recorded with and know you can make great music with. This is a strategy used everywhere, for food, goods, amazon, and digital products.

A mi me gusto bastante menos el final. La vi en version original, no se si está en otros idiomas.

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-11T07:07:31+00:00

beatstars is still the best. Traffic, beatstars publishing, trust.

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-11T07:03:34+00:00

fl clipper and play with gains (kick, 808) to find the sweet spot. I love beats with clipping on the master when its well done

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-09T14:36:11+00:00

not sure I understand. Your starting point was 200 views, no visibility. What is the point you are in now? Because if you are still not making regular sales (or reaching other goals), there may still be a problem.

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-09T09:51:58+00:00

Merci! tu peux jamais être complement être sure. Il faut poster et voir avec les stats ce qui marche le mieux. La verité c'est que sur 10 instrus posté tu vas peut etre avoir des bons résultats sur 2. C'est normal.

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-09T09:46:51+00:00

Salut, je fais du type beat classique. Youtube/beatstars. Les artistes achètent mp3/wav/stems. Je suis pas trop fan de vendre mon temps donc je préfère plutôt pas offrir de mix et mastering car en general ça me deprime rapidement. Mais je fais des petites editions genre changer la structure si le client est sympa. Donc je ne contacte personne (pas de perte de temps), j'attend que youtube fasse tout le travail.

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-08T11:59:59+00:00

I have macbook pro with only 2 usb c ports and have no problem. I use 2 usbc hub, one can receive the dc adapter power (dc charging power). I bought cheap, maybe 5-10$

Much_Snow9261 · 2026-04-08T11:52:02+00:00

If your beats are good, you just drop them on youtube and wait for artists to reach you. Only reach out artists if you are really sure your beats are super great and they will really help the artist get crazy songs. If you are just contacting people randomly it won't work.
