I didn't start selling beats until I was confident enough with my productions. Once I started, it didn't take long at all. That was quite a while ago though.

Not long at all, I think maybe a week after I started putting stuff online.

Right now I have been busy for two years and haven't really sold anything because I think I'm not good enough yet, even though others say I am. Anyways, you should never focus on selling your beats if you have only been busy for about two months. Just focus on getting better and than on selling. I've listened to your beats on your site and they're okay but I don't really think anyone will pay 20 dollars for them. So if I were you I'd just focus on learning instead of getting money. It seems like you think that producing is about selling beats, and not about your interest in music, but ofcourse I could be wrong.

Get your quality up there & start buildin them relationships so you got trusted clients that you can sell to repeatedly.

You've only been producing for 2 months... I recommend practicing more and getting your production quality up, remember you can lease the beats you make over and over again so it's always more important to focus on the quality of what you make.

To be all the way honest with you, I can guarantee you no one is going to buy your tracks for a while... you're only 2 months in bro, there's no way you're good enough to be selling anything yet... not unless you're some kind of prodigy who's been playing piano and guitar since they were 2 and stumbled across someone's old sound library (which takes most producers years to get a good sound/sample library)

Work on your craft a little more man... to be honest I didn't even do ANY promo until I felt I was good enough... it's not true that all promo is good promo, not when it comes to this at least...
