Have you ever heard, “If you set your intention, it will happen,” or “If you decide, things will move”? As a beatmaker, you might hope that simply wishing for success or big sales will make it happen. But let’s be real: selling beats isn’t just about positive thinking—it’s about discovering your true creative drive and building from there.

Are Your True Beatmaking Goals Already Decided?
What kind of beats do you love making? What kind of artists do you want to work with? These aren’t things you decide with your head—they come from your creative heart. Just like you can’t force yourself to love a genre you dislike, your true musical passion is already inside you.
Can You Really Sell Any Beat You Want?
It’s tempting to believe, “If I make any kind of beat, it’ll sell,” or “If I copy trending styles, I’ll blow up.” But the truth? You can only attract buyers for the music that aligns with your authentic style—the “seed” that’s already inside you.
So, how can you figure out what type of beats you’re truly meant to make and sell? Here are some practical steps:
A. Three Exercises to Discover Your True Producer Desires
1. Write Down Moments When Your Beats Flow
Keep a notebook or voice note app handy. When you’re making music and you feel that creative high, jot down what you were doing. Was it a certain genre? A specific sound? These moments are clues to your real musical purpose.
2. Remove “Other Producers’ Eyes”
Forget what’s trending on BeatStars or what gets the most YouTube views. Ask yourself: What kind of beats do I love making, even if nobody else is watching? What sounds get me excited?
3. Fulfill Small Producer Goals First
Don’t start by aiming to sell 100 beats this month. Start with something small: finish one beat you’re proud of, upload it, or share it with a friend. Celebrate these wins—they’ll help you discover your unique voice and build confidence.
B. How to Choose Goals That Have a “Seed” Inside You
You can’t force yourself to love every style or chase every trend. Instead, focus on goals that light you up inside. Ask yourself:
- Does making this kind of beat make me lose track of time?
- When I imagine selling this beat, do I feel excited?
- Even if it’s not selling yet, do I still want to make it?
If you answer “YES,” you’ve found your true beatmaking desire.
C. Steps to Make Your Beat Selling Dreams a Reality
1. Put Your Beatmaking Goal Into Words
Write it down: “I want to sell beats that sound like ___,” or “I want to work with artists who ___.”
2. Take a Small First Step
Upload one beat. DM one artist. Post a snippet on Instagram. You don’t need to go viral overnight—just start.
3. Believe It Will Happen and Keep Going
Some days will be slow. That’s normal. Trust your creative instincts and keep moving forward, one beat at a time.
Summary
You can’t attract buyers for beats you don’t love making. The first step to success as a beatmaker is to discover your true musical desires. By being honest with yourself, focusing on your unique sound, and taking consistent action, your beat selling journey will start to transform.
Find your authentic sound, believe in it, and watch your beatmaking dreams become reality.
Now, go make the beats only you can make—and let the world hear your true sound.
