Closing in on my first $1000 from selling beats in the last 6 months. Not much at all but its picking up. You motivate me to keep pushing my man 🙏🏼
Great job bro keep up the grind💯

Where do you sell your beats?
Same bro, keep it up!
U did a great job brother..I made $10 in the past 6 months 😂
First million of many! Can't wait to see how far you take this. Proud of you man!!
thanks for showing me the way man! you're the OG!!!!!
Keep killing it!
my man!! thank you!
I sold my beats as soon as I began producing at age 14-15, I made $1,000 then stopped. I’m 20 now and I’m about to launch my second music business and try again.
I'm 19 rn...and I just have really basic knowledge of music..can I start now?
@@shikharchauhan2322yes bro it's never too late
YOU can start whenever @@shikharchauhan2322
I'm proud of you man, i see all the work you've been doing especially this last year. You deserve everything bro, it's only up anyway. And thanks for the motivation :)

If you're reading this you got this!!! Keep going and as KXVI says, hunker down, keep your head in the dirt and keep working.
yessirr!!!!!! thanks for killing the edit on this one
Im 13 RN this story really inspires me.
keep goin man! you got time on your side! trust me, if you start now in 10 years you won't believe your progress!@@RemNB
@@prodkxvi iappreciate it, its much better coming from somebody like you
Thank you
I’ve subscribed to this channel because of ur honesty and good storytelling. There’s one big message from this video:
GRIND HARD ALL THE WAY!
Even big producers/artists grind hard when they are on top level of success. That’s why they stay on top.
Happy to see how your drive is, steady schedule, dedication, planning videos , scripted , how you want it to be edited , involving people , frustrations and worries.. and the crazy part is, how the light bulb went off when TB talked to you. Gotta strive more
Inspiring other producers is something that feels kinda special seeing how toxic the producer community has become.
Keep doing what you're doing bro, you definitely inspired me!
Only weak people would are thinking to support others harms them, and there are a lot of them in the music industry xD
This is very inspiring and gives me some hope! I’m all about taking things slow and building up to a large success. Also putting in the work with so much passion you’re confident knowing it’ll eventually payoff. Great work bro!
Been binging your channel for the last few days, your production and skill level is just phenomenal man! Super inspiring to see your process, especially making samples from scratch!
I respect how transparent u are here keeping it real 🙏🏾💯
I really like and appreciate how in depth, candid, and honest you are in this vid. Subscribed.
Pt1 changed my life maaaan, still thankful and excited to watch this one🙏🖤
i hope pt 2 can help you just as much!
This is such an amazing video nobody is being this transparent and honest about there music business ❤
bro thanks for inspiring me to upload loop kits i thought about it for so long then saw p1 of this vid and started , it’s done me so well and connected me w more producers/artists keep being a bright light in the prod community
happy to hear that bro!!! keep goin my man!
Thanks for the motivation man!! Still haven't made my first dollar in music, but I will never give up on this! I can only get better :)
This is not just motivation, it's pure inspiration ❤
Been making beats, studying theory, rapping, and this video is superb! Hard to find people around you who do similar, but your channel is real inspiring, and you gotta believe in yourself!
this was honestly the best vid i could've ever watch big ups to you kxvi!
damn, super glad to hear that man!!! thank you
Been about a year since I dropped pt 1! Hopefully this inspires yall and gives you some insight! Drop some questions down below I'll answer em!
How do you get rid of a fear of failure when making beats.. it’s like my ego doesn’t want me to make bad beats, because then I feel kind of defeated
@@h1ph0p10if it’s your ego then humble yourself if you know what I mean
@@h1ph0p10 i think that to some extent that never goes away, you just need to learn to live with it more than defeating it forever. However, the more beats you make the more you will earn and the more consistent you will be with your quality, so you will be more likely to kill that fear if you just keep cooking up despite having the fear of it being ass!! only way out is through!
Failure exist only if you STOP doing this.@@h1ph0p10
Tank you!❤️🔥
thanks for putting this out man, big help to someone like me just trying to follow my dreams
Thanks for sharing all this. I'd love to see you do a full vid on how Beatstars works as a music creator - I haven't figured out that model yet, been in the more classic making records and getting royalties mode.
Great video, learned alot from this congrats on all your success!
KXVI what’s up man, my name’s Novmber and I CZcams produce like yourself. I hit my stride a couple of years ago and managed to hit the 6 figure mark selling beats online. I had to take some time off of music and I’m now trying to rebuild everything from scratch. I just wanted to let you know that people like yourself make this 10x easier and more enjoyable. Thanks for not only the info you share but the motivation you provide. Nothing but the best for you family.
Keep up the great work 👀👀🔥🔥 your videos motivate me even more then I already am, great content my guy, 🙏🏾
Appreciate this bro! Inspiring 💜🙏🏻
thank you for sharing this man! Very inspiring
This was definitely eye opening man good video 🔥🔥
This is crazy man. Keep it up 🔥
thx for ur honesty! great insights
whenever this dude appears in my feed my motivation just goes way up. Thanks man
Glad to hear it!!!
I was making beats just for fun but i started selling them online after i discovered ur channel, ur content is super valuable and it helped me a lot. ty❤️
ayeee thanks man! best of luck to you
Wow homie, all gold nuggets 🔥🔥 best video yet! Seriously amazing dude, game changing.
ayeee thanks man! means a ton
Thanks KXVI! I really appreciate your info.
Damn! Thanks for the donation!!!
Thanks for motivation! Keep calm and grind on ;)
Very inspiring. I haven't done a whole lot of collabs, and i believe thats my next step.
Thanks again for inspiring me bro! I have 2 jobs (16 hours a day cleaning floors, bathrooms). I only make 600 dollars a month. It would be great to make at least 700 dollars a month selling beats, but I know it's impossible for someone who can't even make beats 40 minutes a day... but I always watch your videos and it inspires me to learn more.
Bro if you don’t have much time try making loops and sending them out as long as you make quality loops you’ll get some collabs sent your way while your at work
yea this is tough, if you are that pressed for time, i'd really recommend looking for lil 10-15 minute spaces in your day you can use. spend 10 minutes before work in the car sending loops or dming people, spend your lunch break making midi's on garage band or some shit that you can use later to get ideas going faster. maybe focus on making starters for other loop makers so they can finish them, and you can pump out more ideas than if you were finishing them all yourself. just look for any lil pocket of time you have and maximize the little time you have! wishing you the best
You need to come to America. Out here, you could just a get one decent job instead working yourself down to the bone for so little money. Then you’ll also have more time for creativity.
@@79Glitch Is... is this a joke?
@@CompletelyBlankPage Did it sound like a joke?
I’m just speaking from my own experience. In the U.S., anyone with basic social skills, average health, and a high school diploma … can get a standard factory or warehouse job for $20 an hour.
And the 4 day, 10 hour work schedule is conducive to pursuing creative activities, in my opinion.
And it’s the same with the 3 day, 12 hour night shift with pay differential: you make more than people working 40 hours a week, and you have 4 off days to make music.
What is difficult to understand about this point?
Love the transparency bro! Would love to know more about the marketing strategies you use 🙏
my g! to make it simple - i post daily content about my kits when they drop, ig reels, youtube etc, and then run facebook ads on it!
Appreciate this fr💯
🙏 my g
it's deserved, even your free loops are at an industry placement level I feel like, so you're just good at what you do
you are really an inspiration, thank you for sharing.
I bought 2 sample packs, and it's insane, absurd quality, I'm following your channel and learning a lot from your content 😱😆😱
KXVI IS A LEGEND AHHH
ONGGG
my man!!!!! thank you
Congrats bro! Inspiring 🚀
thanks bro!
This video is incredible man.
Great video man
This might get to finally take my beat making serious and start making money, coupled with other things happening in my life
May God bless you, king! Thanks for sparking inspiration in me, you have no idea. Thanks G!
Thank you man! I’m glad it helps!
Thx for all that honest Information. Very inspiring. I'm new to all that and far from your level, also stuck in an office job to feed my family but your advices help to keep my head up and work even harder to live my passion doing Beats. It needs work and patience but maybe one day it will pay. Thx and blessings. Regards Beatsebs

Very Fye Accomplishment !
Living under your means but still enjoying yourself every now and then is a good lifestyle to maintain security financially
You are the best CZcams channel for music business . Dead ass
Thanks so much for sharing, i got a question ,
what motivates you to make loops how to stay consistent in what you want to make?
This is so inspiring man, love it!
What kinda shopify app do you use to make these landing pages for your bundles like elements of soul?
we use gempages!
goat ty for this video
thanks man!!!
i hope we all get to that point 🙏💯
😮You inspired me to never give up and make more music to escape my 9 to 5.🎉 Thanks . Please keep this type of content coming.
thanks man!!! im glad it's been inspiring!!
This is an amazing video. Could you also do a video in the future of how. much you spend on the business side?
thanks for the sauce🔥🔥💰💰
my man!
Hey man, thanks for sharing as always. You deserve every bit of the success you are seeing, and the community appreciates you sharing more than you will know! I did have a question, if you have a spare second to reply. I am a guitar-based producer leasing beats and have several loop kits in the works. As the producer of the kit itself, would you recommend simple guitar chord progressions with several melodies / riffs to wrk over top of that progression? Maybe group them by style or key? I am trying to figure out where to draw the line of what to offer since most of my tracks are all organic instruments! Some of my best tracks have no drums at all in them, just acoustic guitars. I think if I knew a specific target or goal of the loop kit I'd be able to go all in on it and provide a ton of value. Long winded question, but if you have a second for your thoughts I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks again man, -Johnny
yea i would say it would be helpful to organize by key and vibe and all that! kinda market it as like a drag and drop guitar making kit, simple chords, drag a phrase on top in the same key, drag in some guitar bend accents on top of that in the same key, and make your own custom guitar loops type of thing! and then maybe another folder with full compositions!
Sweet, really appreciate you taking the time to reply! I'm going to go through this and see what I can come up with. @@prodkxvi
Motivation my brother keep being a blessing 💪🏿💯
Dope stuff man, I love the Hawaii story :D. Seems like you've grown up a lot since you've done that last video. I guess that's what happens when the IRS is coming for your ass :D I don't see a lot of folks talking about this kinda stuff either, we've been through a similar situation that was pretty scary. Listen to this man and put money aside for taxes people. Congrats on all our success!
hell yea man! people in our business definitely don't think or talk about it enough, the tax shit is real 😂 had to learn the hard way
3 years in music and i didn't earned any money, this motivates me so much, thanks.
ITS A GREAT VIDEO MAN. JUST ONE QUESTION, IF I WANT TO START MAKING SAMPLE PACKS WITH NO BRAND ESTABLISHED SHOULD I START MAKING SMALL PACKS WITH UP TO 100 PLUS SOUNDS OR MAKE A BIG SAMPLE PACK WITH OVER 500 PLUS SOUNDS? WHAT WOULD BE THE CORRECT ROUTE?
Ok but what happens if you send the same beat to some artists (or you send the same beat by email to other producers to make 50/50) and there are 2 or more artists that want the same beat? Like I send one beat to 2 producers to make the 50/50 split thing, both of them say they want the beat, I can’t send the same beat to 2 producers right? But if I can’t I should have 100 different beats for every person, like how should I do?
that's crazy to me i didn't think anyone ever bought those kits 🤣🤣 appreciate the insight
this is really inspiring! could you do a video on how you did your sound kit website and marketing?
i'll think about doing one of these! just need to think of a good 'youtubey' way to package it up to get solid views!
@@prodkxviyeah because i hear a lot about email marketing but i never really see anyone getting in depth with what they’re doing with each of the emails so i think it would really help people out
Hi KXVI, I'd love a video about Facebook and IG ads. You mention you changed your strategy, I'm curious to know your no-nonsense method to create basic campaigns that work. Thanks!
That's why it's always good to be a engineer and a producer, more money
typo at like 4:46 loved the vid by the way your an inspiration
thanks man!
Yeah the TAXES!!! Man 🤣....I know that pain.
ayeeee im tellin yall 😂 that shit killed me
Great video but I feel like you missed out some info. When you talk about releasing 7 days limited time kits, how were you promoting them? Just posting about them on CZcams and IG? Thanks
When I first started making beats, I didn’t have the best quality but I was pumping beats out and never made a sale. (Probably because the beats were bad). Now I’m 5 years into producing and haven’t tried selling a beat online since. I decided to lock in with the local artists around me and dedicate my work to them. I can confidently say I have the quality to make sales now but it won’t work like magic. There’s millions of producers with better beats that are grinding harder than me when it comes to marketing their production online and I know that. But do you think it’s a good idea to try to run the funnel strategy again now that I have much more experience making music?
Killed it with this video man‼️so you learned your first instrument at 14 basically
i didn't learn any instruments till probably about 17 years old i picked up guitar, before that i was just doing stuff on the laptop!
Yo bro great video! Can you make a video where teaching how to earn money coming from streams of the placement? Thxx
What platform did do you use to make your sonix website? Or how did you make the website?
How so u handle exclusive sales with your loops? Do you take these loops down?
21:25 I used to think this way. That I'm going to make it, no matter what! Sadly that day never comes for many talented artists.
