Which Music Producers Earn More Money?

The goals of this video are to help music producers open their minds to new opportunities, ensure they are using their talents in the right market, and learn the advantages and disadvantages of different genres. We break down the business models for (4) different types of producers... Producer-engineers, Producer-songwriters, beat makers, and electronic music producers. I discuss the pros and cons, rate them, and we determine which type of music producers earn more money

  • I consider myself a beat maker but I do have skills with mixing. I don't lease beats and never really liked that model. I focus on making music for sync licensing. It has opened up my skills. I only use to make hip hop/rnb. Now since I get briefs for all types of music I can make Electronic, Pop, Orchestral, Atmospheric etc. It's funny because my Atmospheric music makes me more money overall because the songs usually play longer.

    I’m a producer-songwriter I think because I make custom songs and that has been my main bag. Starting to produce for other artists (and work on my own Lofi artist project). Finding it hard to decide what to focus on since I’m just starting so for me it’s been a time management learning curve. Love this video!! Isn’t talked about enough.
  • @mattpaul5389
    Very insightful and inspiring, my good sir. love the vid/edit quality too. killin!
  • @Doty6String
    Everyone makes “beats”, so I’ve been focusing on cinematic, orchestral, and high level instrumental music. High barrier of entry makes the competition less numerous.
  • @knockriobeats
    I'm a production studio owner. I just opened a new studio about 4 months ago here in Rio de Janeiro. That presents issues because my ideal client is in the US. I owned a studio in Orlando for some years and recorded and produced for a number of artists there. So, I have engineering, song-writing and am releasing my own music as well in the hip-hop world. Marketing in general and especially internet marketing is my achilles heel, but I will learn it as I go I guess and add that to my knowledgebase.
  • 🚨Hey friends… We recently created "The Producer Files" to provide producer-songwriters with business strategies from the trenches, in-depth classes (not on YouTube), and interviews where producers share how they make a living. It's all 100% free. You can learn more here: rb.gy/wybbxr

  • @JustinGamana
    I have been an EDM producer and I got some attention, tracks played on well know radioshows and some decent streams but I almost never made money with it! Then I decided to become producer-songwriter so I can expand my creativity and I started to have some clients. I would recommend every producer to have some producer-songwriter skills so they can get better technically!
  • @la.tropic

  • Awesome info! I am definitely the producer-songwriter, classically trained drummer but love many genres.

  • Good stuff Dan, I can confirm that being a multi genre songwriter producer has done me well. By the way the sliding Dan head scale is awesome
