that's just stupidity and not realizing that music is a hobby than a job/investment

The worst part about the scam I’m describing in this video is that I searched up the guys IP address after and he literally was from Nigeria. I literally got scammed by a Nigerian prince.

That Drake AI voice is Hilarious 😂😂😂

idk if it counts as a scam but audio companies like unison audio who promote extremely bad plugins for extreme amounts of money could steal the money of a beginner producer who doesn't know whats good or bad

Or Unison midi chord pack. Most DAWs have built in chord stamps

Now that you did "how to lose money as a producer" the next video should be "how to make money as a producer"! Would really enjoy that one ✌🏻

Agreed

getting scammed was the worst feeling ever but i was younger and naive so the self-forgiveness process for 'being stupid' is... quite something lol

what about 90% of youtube producers who have no idea what their talking about yet feel the need to make tutorials, thereby spreading misinformation and bandaid fixes, misguiding new producers and creating an oversaturated industry of degrading quality? Doesn't cost money, but some people their progress or even future carrier.

The worst part is often, these people know what they're doing in editing (or hire someone who does) which helps their false credibility a lot.

Not really a scam though as you're not paying for it, if you don't like the tutorial simply stop watching it...

soundgoodizer, ott and ozone 8 is all you need for the master track 🙏🙏🙏

the quality of your vids recently 🔥🔥🔥

Honestly, I purchased a collab with a big underground producer, sent him loops, and it actually got placed with a big rapper which was super sick and I’m incredibly grateful for. But I thought that was the sauce so I did it again and quickly realized that it is def not the best way to go about placements😭

Man, the production value in the latest videos is through the roof!

Simons videos have always been good but man, th e last few months the content has been incredible . Love when he has these super informative and well edited videos

"artist who payed $100 vibe". Need that playlist lol. Nicely produced video!

This might be one of your best videos in terms of editing, yet

This is a great video!! We need more of these!!

This is a good video sir. Thank you for the info!!

That's so valuable advice! Thanks so much!!!

Great video!

Thanks for the video, as a restarting producer, this came right on time. Much appreciated!

This is very helpful! I def had people trynna scam me for writing and article or getting my music on the radio and did loose money! Thank you for sharing this! Cause it’s very important to be aware!

I've been producing for 10 years, and I've seen at least one of these. Honestly, I've been a freelancer for 3 years, and no matter what you do there's someone trying to snake you. I've never actually paid anything big. Just 50 bucks once through PayPal. I got a refund when they never delivered through PayPal.

Thank you so much for this video, simon! Really helps new producers like me🙏🏻

Please do more of these types of vids been watching for years... Thank u for being you dude😭😎🤝

Dude your videos are getting so much higher quality

A timely video tbh! I've had this question for a few days, never knew who to ask about it! And finally this video. Thank you Simon... This has saved me a whole lot!

Honestly one of the best contents on KZread about music and production...Thank you👍👍

This guy is one of the best content creators ive ever came across with. Such quality content and so much effort into these videos. Simon i appreciate you so much!

I’ve dealt with each one of these scams. They seem to be getting more and more creative with how they are crafting these emails. If I hadn’t noticed the fee that they through in at the end of the email is the biggest one, along with the promising a placement when you do paid collabs. I never fully understood paid collabs. So, I’m glad that you are making this video.

Thank you for the information, but also the humor😂

more videos like this one please

This is a Heaaavy video!!! Really Interesting, Important and well made!

Thank you for this video

Thank you for this video

The cutaways on this one are hilarious 😂

Thanks for getting us right 🔥

God bless you for addressing this issue, Simon. Not enough is said about the dirty underbelly of the music industry.

Thanks Simon 🙌🏻

It's important to also know that you don't even need to necessarily be "scammed" but people can also simply steal your music and reupload it for themselves. This happened to me and I had to threaten to take the artist and label to court in order for them to remove my song from their accounts and to remove the content ID that made my song say it was theirs.

Thank you for saying that It took a while for me to cut myself some slack tbh but saying that to a different producer made me feel okay Thank you Simon 🎉U really are the best

Honestly I bought your course awhile back, like right when it came out, and I learned so much from it. It actually really helped me jumpstart my music production knowledge. The problem was I’m a brokey and couldn’t actually afford it. So I sped through the course learning as much as I could from it, and got the no questions asked refund you offered on it. I can’t thank you enough for offering the knowledge and if I could afford it I would give you back twice as much money. I can definitely say your course was NOT a scam and I apologize for getting the refund. But I gotta pay rent bro! ❤ one day I’ll pay you back tho promise

This has nothing to do with anything but I’m really glad you’re back to making lighthearted, funny videos

As a beginner producer, i salute you for this! ❤

Definitely fell for the email list and didn't realize it till just now.

Thanks you for this

The playlist one sounds so good and then you hit pay and your like, damn why did I do that?

i literally love you

love u simon

so insightful

i think we should create or give more attention to already existing music discovery forums. not already established artists' music forums, but actually undiscovered artists. a forum full of people who are interested in just looking up unknown artists and talking about them

hey man bring back the ''fixing my subscriber's beat'' series ı need youuu!!!. from 🇹🇷🙏

Can't believe Simon just made this video 😂after 2 days i was by another scammer action as if he is OZ Drizzy Drake Producer

Was once messaged from rca records. They promised to send money to make music for them. I could tell it was a scam but was curious what it was. They ended up sending me a 3000 check in email if I promised to send some to a charity they didn’t disclose. Searched the name and address on the check, it was a meth dealer in prison. Sent him pictures of him and his house and prison and never heard from him again.

Looking good with the goatee

This video couldn’t have been more perfectly timed cause I literally just released my first single on all streaming platforms just yesterday 🤣

-HELLOOO??? DRIZZY DRAAAKE???? YOU WANT SOME BEEATS????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think Simon wants to become a comedian now🤣🤣

Love your part in Superstore! Wish they didn’t cancel it

That mail at 4:47 looking waaaay to familiar

especially for the last one...just bc it went on the playlist doesnt mean the playlist actually gets played

Helpful ☑

If you only work with people after you’ve seen their face, you’ll never have to worry about the impersonation scammers 🤝

This happened to me recently 😂😂, I was like nah bruhhh you tryna rob😅 3:05

The "impersonators" one happened to me a few days ago, where a "famous producer" asked me for 200 dollars for "placement fees", I'm glad I wasn't stupid enough to pay.😭

this is why i'm subscribed to you. lmao handles.

W vid simon

Simon is the GOAT

I got scammed once too... I don't even like bringing it up because if you know where to look it's so obvious I got botted...

❤bro i love it videos

I love scam and ur videos)

Hey, i was just watching your vid and the only thing i could think about exept for how amazingly good you are was your setup. Soooo i did what anyone else would do, i looked up Servica Music setup, and got a vid from 4 Years ago.. Could you do a setup tour?

“hi, are you beatmaker” 😂

make a vid on what is worth your money pls

SIMON!! Your GENTO debuted on THE FIRST TAKE JAPAN!!!!!

Bro.... G.O.A.T. 👏🏽

oh man i miss that simon s humor. been too long! 😂😂🤣🤣

So what about artist distribution sites like cd baby and distrokid? Where would they fall under?

wow thanks Simon I know

imo if you're gonna pay money to learn how to better produce music, one on one lessons seem more valuable than generalized courses. Maybe you already know half of the course content going into it but the other half is new info, well, if you just find a producer doing lessons out there, you can just focus in on what you don't know and get more value for your time and money. But also, if you REALLY want to learn from a specific person and they only do courses, that could still absolutely be worth it to get a better feel for their particular workflow, philosophy, etc

Hey Simon, could you create a new Discord invite link, the one in the description doesn't work!

It’s hard to get money and credit everyone sucks at business in this industry

does anyone have an invite link to his discord server? none of the invite links in his descriptions or bios seem to work.

the amount of times i lost hundreds of dollars to rappers or producers promsing work but then just block you after the payment is my fault. I trusted rappers who promised features but then never send it or producers that you ask for custom beat but through dms and they just never send or they send a beat you didnt ask for

I get so many fake placement emails its so fucking fun to play with them lol

I’m looking for a cheap high quality music software. What are some good recommendations?

That Drake AI was so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

remember the scam you promoted aswell unison chord pack

7:15 lol. Cold showers !!

beard goes hard

2:31 scared the poop outta me

We’re gonna work together one day Simon 💜

cool!

you're doing the lords work simon lmao

can you do a second part where you give the good way or the solution to all of this situations for example: if you want to grow your instagram do not pay for bot followers instead you can do this _____________

Yes.

FIRE IN G MINOR 💀💀💀

The good thing ,is i have never fall into this scams

Paying for an extremly expensive VST without proper thought and end up never touching it again...(yea Sylenth1, I said that)

Thank you Mr.Simon for exposing Ditto..😂😂😂☠️☠️ They scamed me off my album i released with them and till today i nvr got my royalies which accumulated....i gained alot of streams but they didn't pay me
