I was literally taking notes in Google Sheets when you said how important tracking was ha. This video is stellar, thank you for the value. Our stories are running a bit in reverse (although I too lost some hearing when I was younger and making music). Recently had my Amazon business collapse (mostly my own doing) and returning to music production. I'm a decade removed so I have no clue what today's scene is like, but these are phenomenal fundamentals that if applied will create results (long as the music isn't trash). Thank you for making this.

Do you try to create something new that combines all of the genres?

Don't forget the perks of different leases. Streams and album sales limitations, how many radiostation you allowed to play the beat at, how many music video you allowed to release. Also there is trackouts lease where you can separately mix the instrumets and WAV lease which is high defined than MP3. Aaand you can't lease the beat after it's sold exclusively 😂

No one will start earning even 5k a month doing things you talked about, this things don’t lead to money. Other things lead to sales, and most often it depends on how good your instrumental is, and how well your videos adapt to KZitem algorithms, the rest is just secondary and not necessary. I speak from a personal experience. I’m just tired of people who not saying anything REALLY useful, but they yappin about making 100k from beats just to gain a lil views. Maybe you show us your monthly beat sales?

The way each producer structure their contracts will be different, but for leases specifically the artist doesn’t own them therefore they don’t own part of the publishing or master. Those rights would go to whoever or if ever someone owned the exclusive. Then it’s split 50/50. Again, you can structure your contracts however you’d like though.
