If you make beats, focus on getting the best quality you can, You are a beat maker.
Production is far more involved than emulating a beat from the radio with a cracked version of Fruity Loops, recording it in your closet, and mastering it in 5 minutes.
Don't focus on being pigeon-holed. It'll only mess up your ambition, especially if you're one of the thousands who get butt-hurt easily.
Learn to gain stage. Learn when to record stereo or mono. Learn mic placement. Learn to EQ. Learn compression. Learn Reverb and Delay.
Invest in yourself. If you won't spend your own money on yourself, no one is going to find it worthwhile, either.
If you don't have an ear, move on.
If you want to Learn, then be ready to hear something you might not want to.
Learn.
Learn.
Learn.
After that, when you've done all of the above, be ready to Learn some more.
Peace.
