Hey, my name is Raymond and I'm virtually a nobody but I'm writing this because i experienced some success recently thus i have some tips to help other producers market their instrumentals online. This is tip number 1 - YOUTUBE. Every one of my clients come to me through youtube. I have a channel about hiphop and hiphop production that is growing. I do beatmaking videos, videos of me rapping on my own beats and i even vlog about music production. I got 3 new clients in the past two weeks who all need exclusives, so they're putting some decent money in my pocket. This is how i did it. Have you heard of the rapper from florida named 'Stitches' with his hot new single Brick in yo face? when that music video moved from worldstar to Youtube, I anticipated that it was gonna get hundreds of thousands of views, so I filmed a video of me talking about the "brick in yo face" music video by stitches, put one of my dopest beats in the background, came up with a really nifty thumbnail and called the video "beats vlog 2, brick in yo face by stitches. Now if you search "brick in yo face" my vlog appears directly under the official music video on youtube. My vlog got 4k views in less than two weeks and i've gotten 3 genuine customers from that stupid vlog video. I don't even care about stitches, i just foresaw a trend and I exploited it to gain attention to my youtube channel, which happens to promote my brand RayRayBeats - my brand as a PRODUCER. Tons of rappers saw that vlog, saw that i was sitting in a music studio and heard my beat in the background. The best part about it is that the vlog wasn't even about ME or MY music. I only gave subtle hints. I think it gets old when producers online are all about ME, MY MUSIC, MY BEATS, look what I DID. I found a way to promote my brand by shedding light on something else that happened to be trending. This is a process that hopefully i will repeat in the future, if i foresee any more rap videos going viral. Here's the link to the vlog i told you about, so you can see for yourself. I hope this was helpful Have a good day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqEpx74_1sQ
