Balance between working with artists/labels and selling beats?

[djtaynoel44]

What's going on? This has been a question of mine for a while. Is there a way to balance it or does it depend on the artist/label? I've been producing for over 10 years now so I'm not too fond on working for free, though I do find artists I believe can go somewhere with the right production and guidance. What are your thoughts?

If you have found an artist or artists you truly believe in and are a fan of you are luckier then most producers! Put time into them, the rest will follow if you can make them into stars or at least get them a couple hundred thousand views, you will be in demand and people will pay for your talent.

The indie game is the best route and also the hardest, follow your gut! Good luck!
