From 40 Monthly listeners to 1.5 Million Streams 🥳🔥
W'S IN THE CHAT PLS🔥 This is How I Helped an Artist Go From 0 to 1.5M Streams On Just His Second Song Let me break this down real quick. I helped this artist go from literally zero monthly listeners to over 1.5 million streams on the second song he ever released. I’m gonna walk you through exactly how we did it — and I want you to save this video if you can’t watch it now, because this is real game. Free. When I met Alex, he had done nothing yet. I helped him put out his first single, but the journey really started from scratch with this next one. No buzz, no fanbase, nothing. And within a few months, we built something crazy. 1. Good Music First. Always. First thing I’ll say — and I’ll die on this hill — if the music isn’t good, nothing else matters. No strategy, no budget, no marketing trick can save a bad song. The music has to be at least palatable, if not great. I don’t even work with music I think is mid. I value my time and taste too much. 2. Budget Myth: You Don’t Need Loads of Money Too many artists think you need a massive budget to make things move. False. If anything, I start campaigns small to test what works — split testing, A/B testing — to find the best-performing content and audience. You’d be surprised what we can do with just $5 a day when the content hits. 3. Build Content Around Strengths Alex lived in LA, had a good voice, played guitar, made heartfelt acoustic music. I told him: go outside, set up a tripod, film yourself lip-syncing and playing guitar. That’s it. He did it. I took the footage, put it in CapCut, sped up the song slightly, added zooms and lyrics. Done. We tested ads using that simple content, and his first real single, Simple Highs, ended up getting around 50K streams. Not crazy viral, but amazing for someone starting from zero. 4. Test, Learn, Repeat Then he brought me his second track, Beautiful Lies. I said: “We’re doing the exact same thing.” Same style video, same process — but this time, with a small listener base already built, the results were even crazier. That’s when we really started to fly.

This will TRANSFORM your perspective & make you more consistent TODAY.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about why so many of us struggle with consistency. And I think it’s because we rely too much on feeling instead of duty. Think about it like this: if you had a child—expected or not—you wouldn’t take care of it only when you felt like it. You’d do it because you had to. Your career is the same. It’s your baby. If you don’t feed it, nurture it, and show up for it daily, it won’t survive. That’s why most careers don’t go anywhere. Everyone can release their first song, but how many make it to their fifth? By then, you’re in a small group of artists who actually show up—like the few parents who genuinely raise their kids with care. So next time you don’t feel like making that video, writing that song, or recording, remember: how you feel doesn’t matter. Success isn’t built on motivation—it’s built on discipline. You can choose temporary comfort now and struggle later, or push through discomfort now to create the life you want. What helps you stay consistent? Drop your thoughts below. ⬇️

How to find beats to write to without a producer
Key Steps 1. Write down 5 artists you sound similar to or are inspired by. 2. Look up beats online, preferably ones with fewer views to avoid overuse. 3. Listen to the beats and voice record any melodies you come up with. 4. Copy the link of the chosen beat and download it. 5. Import the beat into your music software (e.g., Logic) and record your vocals over the beat. 6. Create your audio file by recording vocals using the appropriate equipment. 7. Write the song before purchasing the beat to ensure compatibility. 8. Locate the beat for purchase by checking the description or the producer's social media. 9. Consider contacting the producer directly through Instagram to potentially get a cheaper deal. Cautionary Notes - Ensure you have the necessary equipment and software set up before recording. - Respect copyright laws when using downloaded beats for your songs. - Double-check the compatibility of your vocals with the beat before finalizing the purchase. Tips for Efficiency - Keep a record of the beats you like and organize them for easy access. - Utilize voice recording on your phone to capture melodies and song ideas on the go. - Communicate clearly with producers when purchasing beats to negotiate better deals. By following these steps, you can effectively find, record, and purchase beats for your music production projects.
