one more thing yall ask for a G a beat no less and ya'll have soundclick webpages. have ya'll sold beats for a G before if not maybe you should lower the price that's probably why nobody buys your beats. can somebody honestly tell me they sold a beat for 1000 dollars? anyone on this site? well maybe i'm just not understanding this buisness of beatmakin cuz i,m new to it.....don't know- tk
i think of it like this...
Me? This is my lively hood, I've got a wife, kids and bills...so I put my soul into EVERY beat I make! While I am doing that, I'm also using electricity, I'm spending precious time away from my family to work with other artists. Everyone on this site has some kind of bills they have to pay...plus, we ALL gotta eat. Then, you gotta think about this...how good do you believe you are as a producer? Then ask yourself this...do you like what you do? If your answer is yes then you shouldn't ask for more than 50-100 bucks a beat. It takes PASSION to do this junk! Cat's like Just Blaze, Neptunes have PASSION and purpose. This ain't a hobby to them. Me? heck yeah I'm gonna ask $1000-2000 for a track!!! I've been making beats for 16 years! Plus, I believe I am that good plus I am versitle with my music. Some people might not think so and thats cool but in the end PASSION PAYS. Producer Gyal will get that $1000 or more from serious artists for 3 reasons
1. Her music is HOT!!!! Period!
2. She has a passion for her music
3. She is gifted and is purposed to do what she does
There are others on here who have those 3 qualities. Not everybody does.
If you have passion for whatever you do, you will do EVERYTHING it takes to be the best, and nobody can do things on your level...your skills, knowledge and experience will command $$$ and not only that, flaky artists an not gonna want to fool with you because they can't afford something they are not serious with. I only work with serious artists who are passionate about their craft. I don't track anything for people who aren't. And if you are PASSIONATE about what you do then you won't either.
