    Beatmakers Should Focus on Continuity, Not Just Success

    For beatmakers, the most important thing is “continuing your craft.” Whether you achieve success or not often depends on timing and luck, but by sticking with it, you can expand your skills, gain experience, grow your network, and build the foundation for future success.

    Tips for Staying Consistent

    • Take motivation from small wins.
    • Make beat-making a habit.
    • Connect with fellow creators and stay inspired.
    • Keep investing in yourself.
    • Most importantly, enjoy the process of making music.

    While success depends on others, staying consistent is entirely up to you. Keep at it for the long haul, and you’ll create your own opportunities to succeed.
