Question I’ve been making beats and music for 20 years and i have no clue where to go or what to do with my music this helps a ton thank you. My question is do you send material with no copy rights! I need tons of help!

Hey mate watch my most recent video that should help. I send the terms of use to most producers I send material to!

Thanks a lot bro, awesome advice. Got some questions tho- Can I send the same loop to 2 producers? How many loops should I include in one email? What do the agreements look like?

Hey mate thanks a lot for your comment! Yes for sure you can send the same loop to as many producers as you like, you own the sample so there's no limit to how many people use it, obviously unless they negotiate an exclusive agreement with you where they purchase a lease for only them to use the loop, but other than that you can send it to as many people as you'd like. I normally send 3-4 loops in one email and make sure its below the 25mb limit on gmail because otherwise people have to download the loop to listen to it and a lot of people wont be bothered to do that so keep the total email size below 25mb which means sending 3/4 loops. I showed the exact agreement I use in a recent video which i'll link below! Hope this helps.

Hey Oli, nice video. Although I´m a producer with 20+ years of experience, I´ve never sold beats and loops online. So let me ask you if I may: when you say that you send loops to these producers, you sent like a melody, or just drums, or a whole beat with drums, bass and other instruments? Thanks! have a good week

@olihortonbeats

Awesome good to hear from someone with such experience!! Normally loops are just the melody, then the producer you send it too adds the drums, often arranges the melody a bit differently because you stem the loop out so they have full freedom to play around with it :)

But beatstars is not KZread were the algorithm wants u to have a nich ,I myself creat afrobeat,trap , dancehall Uk Drill sound very on beatstars and still make sales

Yeh for sure if you're established on beatstars you can defo just get marketplace sales with whatever you post but when you're just starting its rare you'll make sales just from the BeatStars platform without driving any traffic to it. Nice to be able to post a range of beats on BeatStars for sure!

Thanks for these cool advice. Just real. We need to move away from spamming and follow-for-follow, etc. All every producer wants are placements and listenership. Feel free to send me your music if you'd like. 💎

Nice lesson thanks but I have a question. If we send loops they can use them for free and steal from us or I am wrong? How can we send links to the loops to listen ?

@olihortonbeats

There are always going to be a small minority of people which will steal, as there is in any market with any company. However, as I recommend in this video, because you're manually building an email list, your finding the people that you'll be sending loops to, meaning you'll be messaging them for their email and in communication with them. Instantly that reduces the likelihood of people stealing because its not random people from the internet, its producers you've approached and have the details of. Also as I say in the video you send the terms of agreement with the loops, I title the terms as "TERMS - MUST READ" to show the importance of them and in those terms you can say that any misuse/stealing of the sample may result in legal action, now I'm no lawyer but that can deter people and there are actions you can take if people do steal your sample. Generally though when you send the terms and say you must 50/50 split, people do follow the terms!

i dont really get this strategy tbh, if im sending my loops to producers with 0 views, they most likely dont have the funds, or motivation to buy them from me. Am i missing something?

@olihortonbeats

2 ай бұрын

This strategy you aren’t charging for people to use your loops, you’re requiring that people give you a 50% split of whatever they make with your loops :) Also you’d be surprised at the amount of people which will have for packs despite them not having any followers!

It pains me a lot to be having 2500 subscribers and no sales. I hv beats hitting 20k plays though. I'm just hopeless. And my channel is not monetizing

Yeh mate I get it that's really tough. That's kind of mad if you've got beats hitting 20k plays but making no sales. I'd say you've really got to take a look into those beats, it could be the beat as a whole which isn't working for people, maybe take a look at the arrangement.
