  1. 0:00Look, I get it. Listening to beat
  2. 0:02selling advice on YouTube can sometimes
  3. 0:04feel overwhelming since the producers
  4. 0:06giving the advice are so far ahead from
  5. 0:08where you are currently at. It can feel
  6. 0:10really disconnecting and to be honest,
  7. 0:12I'm not much better. I'm always talking
  8. 0:13about how to get to 10k a month or even
  9. 0:1520k a month selling beats, but the vast
  10. 0:17majority of you guys are just trying to
  11. 0:19get that first sale. So, what I'm going
  12. 0:21to do in today's video is go over
  13. 0:22exactly what I would do if I had to make
  14. 0:25a full-time living selling beats again
  15. 0:27starting completely from scratch. No
  16. 0:29followers, no email list, no nothing.
  17. 0:31So, without further ado, let's get right
  18. 0:34into it. Now, everyone knows you need
  19. 0:35some form of traffic in order to get any
  20. 0:38conversions and you could do this by
  21. 0:40reaching out to upcoming artists on
  22. 0:41Instagram and hoping they want to buy
  23. 0:43your beats or you could do this by going
  24. 0:45to hashtags like upcoming artist,
  25. 0:47SoundCloud rapper, unsigned rapper, and
  26. 0:49independent artist. These are all really
  27. 0:51solid hashtags, but here's the problem
  28. 0:53with this. When you're going about this
  29. 0:55whole manual outreach method, you're
  30. 0:57getting results based on the time that
  31. 0:59you put in. Meaning, you can only get a
  32. 1:01certain amount of results for a certain
  33. 1:03amount of time that you put in, right?
  34. 1:05It's not very scalable. But, what if you
  35. 1:06could do something every single day that
  36. 1:08would guarantee compounding results
  37. 1:10instead of actually just putting in your
  38. 1:12time and getting one result back? You
  39. 1:14could put in the same amount of time,
  40. 1:16but get results coming in while you
  41. 1:18sleep. That would actually create an
  42. 1:20exponential curve because this is a
  43. 1:22compounding effect and that's exactly
  44. 1:24how you build a sustainable beat selling
  45. 1:25business. So, that's why I wouldn't do
  46. 1:27outreach and instead I'd focus on
  47. 1:29something that compounds and scales
  48. 1:31without me putting in more effort. Now,
  49. 1:33if you've watched this channel for even
  50. 1:345 minutes, then you probably know where
  51. 1:36I'm going with this. Yes, if I was
  52. 1:38starting out, I'd start a type B
  53. 1:40channel, but I'd go about it in a
  54. 1:41completely different way than what
  55. 1:43you've been told in the past. You see,
  56. 1:45you've been conditioned to believe that
  57. 1:46more views equals more sales and that
  58. 1:49can be further from the truth. Now,
  59. 1:51here's an example of one of my type B
  60. 1:52channels that got over 500,000 views.
  61. 1:55Now, you might be thinking, oh wow,
  62. 1:56500,000 views, I bet he made a boatload
  63. 1:59of sales." Well, believe it or not, but
  64. 2:01this channel made me $4,500,
  65. 2:03which is not necessarily bad, right?
  66. 2:05But, for 500,000 views, maybe you would
  67. 2:08have expected more, right? 160 items
  68. 2:10sold and $4,500 in that profit, which is
  69. 2:13not bad, but here's an example of one of
  70. 2:16my type B channels that got 70,000
  71. 2:18views, just a little over 10% of the
  72. 2:20views on the other channel, and this
  73. 2:22channel made me $5,000 in sales before
  74. 2:25it even got monetized, okay? Simply
  75. 2:26because of the niche that it was in. So,
  76. 2:28your niche really makes a difference. As
  77. 2:30you can see, 322 subscribers, 31 videos,
  78. 2:33and that made me $5,000 in sales. And
  79. 2:36that's exactly why if I was starting
  80. 2:38over selling beats, I would start what I
  81. 2:40call a micro niche type B channel. Now,
  82. 2:42what is a micro niche type B channel?
  83. 2:44Well, a micro niche type B channel is
  84. 2:46just like any other type B channel, the
  85. 2:48only difference being that it targets a
  86. 2:50small niche of artists that actually buy
  87. 2:52beats, meaning you don't need 100,000
  88. 2:54subs to make a full-time living selling
  89. 2:56beats. With a micro niche type B
  90. 2:58channel, you can go full-time without
  91. 3:00even monetizing the YouTube channel. So,
  92. 3:02if I was to start from scratch all over
  93. 3:04again, that is the first thing I'd do. A
  94. 3:06micro niche type B channel would be my
  95. 3:08number one priority. But, after you set
  96. 3:11up a micro niche type B channel, now
  97. 3:12what? Well, that's where I'd implement a
  98. 3:14simple funnel that allows me to monetize
  99. 3:16my micro niche audience to its full
  100. 3:18potential. I'd build out an irresistible
  101. 3:21beat pack offer that is meant for my
  102. 3:23ideal customer, and since we already
  103. 3:25have a traffic source that attracts my
  104. 3:27ideal customer, we've already done 90%
  105. 3:29of the work. Now, the reason why we want
  106. 3:31to sell packs on top of the traditional
  107. 3:33licensing model is because we want to
  108. 3:35provide as much value as possible and
  109. 3:37build a funnel that doesn't rely on
  110. 3:38luck. We want to rely on strategy,
  111. 3:40because let's face it, the one who
  112. 3:42provides the most value wins, which
  113. 3:44leads me to my next point. Since we're
  114. 3:46not relying on volume to make money,
  115. 3:48every lead counts. So, we want to make
  116. 3:50sure we can remarket to every person
  117. 3:52that stumbles upon our micro niche type
  118. 3:54beat channel, which is exactly why our
  119. 3:56funnel would start with a free lead
  120. 3:58magnet. Now, most producers do this by
  121. 4:00giving away their beats for free on
  122. 4:01their beat store, but we want to do this
  123. 4:03with a beat pack, okay? This can be like
  124. 4:05five free beats in exchange for their
  125. 4:07email. And after they submit their
  126. 4:09email, we would then upsell them on a
  127. 4:11beat pack offer that has 10 times the
  128. 4:13value of the free pack. Because if they
  129. 4:15download your free pack and they're
  130. 4:16like, "Wow, there's so much in here. I
  131. 4:18actually feel really good about what I
  132. 4:19just got." And they're going to be like,
  133. 4:21"Wow, I can only imagine what's in his
  134. 4:23paid stuff." And look, I get it. This
  135. 4:24might be all way too over your head
  136. 4:26because these are the type of strategies
  137. 4:28that most successful businesses are
  138. 4:30using. But producers have never been
  139. 4:32able to apply these strategies to their
  140. 4:34own beat selling businesses. And it's
  141. 4:35not because they didn't want to
  142. 4:36implement these strategies, it's because
  143. 4:38they didn't know how to do it. And there
  144. 4:40was never any resources that made this
  145. 4:42process smooth. And that's exactly why
  146. 4:44I'm hosting the sell beats online
  147. 4:45challenge, where I'll show you how to
  148. 4:47create a micro niche type beat channel
  149. 4:49start to finish. And I'll show you how
  150. 4:50to implement all these advanced funnel
  151. 4:52strategies, start making a full-time
  152. 4:54income without needing to be famous.
  153. 4:56It's a completely free live event, and
  154. 4:58I'll leave the link to register down in
  155. 5:00the description below. Now, the next
  156. 5:01step is I would implement an email
  157. 5:03automation flow that would convert all
  158. 5:05the free downloaders into customers and
  159. 5:08start building relationships with these
  160. 5:09leads because like I said, every lead
  161. 5:12counts. You can do this with Mailchimp
  162. 5:14or any email marketing service you'd
  163. 5:15prefer. I think Mailchimp is the most
  164. 5:17user-friendly, but it's completely up to
  165. 5:19you. Now, remember, a channel with 500
  166. 5:22subscribers on the right niche is
  167. 5:24infinitely more valuable than a channel
  168. 5:26with 50,000 subscribers on a
  169. 5:29non-profitable niche. And a
  170. 5:30non-profitable niche is just a niche
  171. 5:32that targets a low-quality audience. You
  172. 5:34know, it could be like 16-year-old kids.
  173. 5:37For example, like Yeat type beats might
  174. 5:38target a lower-quality audience, whereas
  175. 5:41Meek Mill type beats or soul beats or
  176. 5:43beats that target just a more mature
  177. 5:45audience, that's usually a
  178. 5:47higher-quality audience that is more
  179. 5:49likely to buy your beats. Now, if you'd
  180. 5:50like me to go more in-depth on how to
  181. 5:52actually find a micro niche for your
  182. 5:54type beat channel, I can do that. Just
  183. 5:56comment down below and I'll make a video
  184. 5:57on it because that is where we're headed
  185. 5:59in the beat selling space, okay? Forget
  186. 6:01trying to get to 100,000 subscribers.
  187. 6:03Focus on getting 1,000 of the right
  188. 6:06quality subscribers and that will lead
  189. 6:08to creating an actual sustainable
  190. 6:10business that prints you money in your
  191. 6:13sleep. So, this is exactly what I do if
  192. 6:16I was to start over selling beats from
  193. 6:17scratch again. It's a very simple
  194. 6:19process and going into 2026, this will
  195. 6:22become the new trend for selling beats.
  196. 6:24You'll start hearing everyone talk about
  197. 6:26a micro niche type beat channel and of
  198. 6:28course, you'll see everyone doing it.
  199. 6:29So, don't wait until everyone's already
  200. 6:31doing it and getting the bag on it. Get
  201. 6:33early on it, okay? No one is doing micro
  202. 6:36niche type beat channels right now, but
  203. 6:37let me tell you a lot of people will
  204. 6:39because I'm making these videos. So, get
  205. 6:40on it early and that's why I really
  206. 6:42recommend that you sign up for my free
  207. 6:44event Beats Online Challenge because
  208. 6:46that is where I'm going to expose all
  209. 6:48the secrets for this and go in-depth on
  210. 6:50how to actually build a profitable beat
  211. 6:52selling business without needing a ton
  212. 6:54of YouTube subscribers. So, other than
  213. 6:56that, guys, thanks so much for watching.
  214. 6:58I'll see you guys in the next video.
  215. 7:00Have a good night.
