Making Money as a Producer...

[Star Tanner]

Very informative!!! I have been looking around to find something like this to let me know in detail! I def don't want to get caught up! Plus, I am into making beats myself and would need to know how this process goes! Thank you!

lol. I don't know nothing about the ins and outs of the music industry. I just know the bullshit that I've been through. And trust me, that's only the TIP of the bullshit iceberg, and nowhere near comprehensive of Ins and Outs.


As far as the new model of making money off music, yeah, I think I've figured that part out. I just have to PROVE it works with some true blue, overwhelming success stories. I'm working on that part...


The industry isn't ALL BAD...just a bunch of shitty people running it, and a bunch of ignorant people not knowing what they are signing.


Actually, I agree with 360 deals, and feel it shoulda been like that from day 1, IMO.




Give me 5 years...then I'll write a book. Until then, tune in to my Twitter (@JTroupTV) and my Tumblr (www.TROUPGenius.tumblr.com)



I'll have my uStream back up and running sometime in the near future...

I feel like I'm in the same boat with you man, just gotta keep pushing forward and have that 100% proof.

I agree with 360 deals as well, I don't know why it wasn't like that from the beginning.

Don't sell beats. Beats don't sell. Beats are free. Everybody makes beats.



SONGS sell. NAMES sell. REPUTATION sells. INFLUENCE sells. SKILLSET sells.



But BEATS?? Beats don't sell.

Why would you agree with 360deals? I don't understand that.
Maybe in a situation where you come with nothing on you end of the table.
So the label put up a risk to recoup, But as a standard no.

I never heard anyone say they would like a 360deal

A 360 Deal is nothing but Venture Capitalism.


If an investor pumps millions of dollars into a company for Research & Development, for Branding, for Marketing, for Manufacturing...for everything...then they should share in ALL of the profits.


Same with a record label.



The way it should work, that is if my record label spends money to:


Sign you
Develop you
Market and Promote you
Radio Campaigns
Tour Support
Create Your Music

and basically MAKE YOU AN INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR...


Then I should be able to reap the benefits of all that money I put out in order to make you a star. You're on TV because of all the money I put into making you a star. I need a piece of that.

You're doing 50,000 seat shows because of the money I put out to make you a star. I need a piece of that.

You're endorsing those products because of the money I put out to make you a star. I need a piece of that.


(granted, that should all be for a finite length of time)


The problem is, with current 360 deals, the labels aren't putting up the investment capital to make the artist a star, but they are still dipping their hands in every single honey pot.



That's what I mean. It's only fair that someone should be able to profit from their investments.

I do agree...just like anything else....if someone makes a hot beat people will ask who made it....so it is about the person more so then the beat because I heard many hot beats....but those who have a good rep are the one who seem to "sell the most beats".....

So the aim should be a good reputation and style that is unforgettable over all! not just in the way you make beats.
