Hey i'm more younger and i have a hobby if music production (age 13) and I'm thinking of making it into a career. Do you have any advice? Bc i want to learn a bit more on how to make better music
Don’t believe people when they say things won’t work out. Sometimes the things that are safe and may easily work out don’t end up working out anyway. You do what you think is right for you and never let anyone control your path.
Make kits, up sell your beats into “tiers” that give value at the middle price, use social media to minimize your expenses by growing an audience over time...
ED TALENTI ON THE BEAT. *Hard bass drops* Ed: Ayyyyeeee The community: we need to watch this guys videos. this guy is NUTs And btw can u do a collab with Ocean. Like a beat battle or like u do 1 half of a beat then ocean finishes it. That would be fire
Not even a minute in, I had the video playing in the background and all of a sudden I hear “Money’s not a means to buy things but a means to buy time.” That is actually one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard, it’s so simple yet the analogy that you made between money and time actually made me smile because I’ve never thought about it. I’ve always heard that money is time, time is money but I’ve just never thought about it that way. You put into perspective for me. Thanks buddy, I totally agree. That’s why I would like to be stable so I can continue to produce and learn to be better each day as I practice and not have to worry about going to work or school and coming home with no urge to make music but to just go to sleep. I appreciate you for that, it really made me think. 🤯💡
Time is the worlds most VALUABLE asset. If you have to spend 40 hours a week to pay bills instead of working on your craft, then your not living your life. Investing in monetizing your craft enables you to lower the need of a “regular job” so you have more time which in turn makes you EVEN more money!
This video really got the wheels in my mind turning. I make all styles of music. I’m not trying to be cocky but, I have way too many skills to not make a living off of it. I’m constantly at work thinking, man, if I had all this time to do what I love, where would I be today. I’m tired of settling. It’s time to get shit done and make money doing what I love.
Im exactly that dude. I left my job and everything behind, and I'll make a living off music or starve. Ed if you're in the mood for sharing gems of wisdom, I'd be grateful
I'm with you on selling your time and giving your life away to others whom control what you do. Music is so freeing. It's helped my mental health a lot over the past year and a half.
I don't need to be rich, but I just want to make a living of of my beats! I think the focus must be to make the music that u like and not things that other people like! Keep making the music you love💖
I feel ya bro. I live in a small Mt. town in North East Georgia. and the music scene is non existing. So I know where your coming from. I really appreciate the insight.
Early on this one. Im about to separate from my wife. We have a daughter together. Isolated since March in a bed and breakfast with some colleagues. Im a male nurse in ICU in London. Time to start playing with my Push 2 and Live 10. Ive also decided to take another type of job, basically Im gonna run this bed and breakfast since owners want to travel by boat for a long time. They are in their 80s. I see beautiful things coming. I also hope to collaborate with you if I cant make my own beats for the lyrics I already have written. Thank you for pushing us. You need at least 100k subscribers by now.
@@EdTalenti Grazie ! Mi megliore amica del mundo vieni da Sardinia pero vive in peninsula. Thank you for taking time to reply. It means a lot. Head up and lets bring bangers and reinstaurate happiness and joy:D I want to see you at 100k Subscribers asap but maybe organic growth is better long term. Take care and keep bringing HEAT in the studio :D Need to work on my craft now.
@@PROsteve172 I am sorry to hear that. Its a tough year for most of us. Covid 19 seems to be just one of many things gone wrong. Im trying to stay positive as much as I can. They depend on me financially as well. Theres many variables now and gotta think next steps. See your close friends. Dont go through it on your own. Im trying now to go exercise again. Dont need to lose weight but I need to focus on myself this year. Hopefully we all gonna come out of 2020 at least a tiny bit better than right now. If you ever feel to talk, let me know and I ll leave my whatsapp no here for a short time then remove it. Take care.
I really resonate with how you see money, I've felt the same. I look forward to buying my own time, it's the only currency we all have all and yet it's the most important. I find it surprising most people don't see it this way.
Thanks for the tips! To all those who are just starting out, dont let your views and subscriber counts pull you down. It's hard to watch at first but it has to get better someday if you are doing good music on a regular basis! Got my 100th subscriber 1-2 weeks ago and it felt sooooo good!
thank you bro… been making beats for about 3 years now and i’m tryna take it seriously now. i honestly have a passion for it and i know it can make a way for me if i focus.
Dude you’re a big Inspiration. I do beats for a while now and just as you said I stuck in a job where I kinda work for my own private time to actually make music and stuff. It’s hard to get the first steps into living a dream. But you give people a picture of how it can work. Especially I often don’t know if i‘m able to do it. Thanks man, really appreciate your words
Hey Ed, I really liked this video! I started making music this year and have been loving it so much, both making beats and seeing what others use them for. I’d love to be able to make a living, or at least a “supplement” to my other income one day from music. I’ve sold a couple beats since I’ve started which is crazy to me, and this video has given me some more ideas of how to expand (I’m thinking of making guitar sample packs in the future). Your positivity is infectious and I really liked your advice. Congrats on 50K and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!!
Ed, your a solid dude. I have nothing but mad respect for you. Idk if you realize it, but you have the power to help build so many talented less known producers start making money by helping them build a brand and get more views with collaborations. Easier to say than do because I know how valuable spare time is for a music producer and on top of that a UA-camr. Last, If you ever do get really bored and love to help, I'd appreciate it, I'd definitely be down for a collab. beat my friend. 😁
Grande ed, credo di essere uno dei pochi italiani che ti segue costantemente! Complimenti per il canale e sopratutto per l'inglese perfetto! P.S Sto a bologna anch'io
This video is the reason why i'm uploading videos now you really showed me a new way of looking at things I really thank you for doing this for us all #flute_gang_4_life
I’m here because I hate my job. Lol I make good money rn and I’m grateful for it but, it’s begun to drain my vitality. Music has always been my life. I’m into hip hop, ambient, soundtrack, you name it. I feel like I have way too many skills to not make a living from it. Thank you for this video. It’s giving me a lot to think about and try. I’m not gonna quit just yet but, I told myself, this is the last job I have before I make music my full time job. I’m gonna try different things, once I get the proper income rolling, I’m gonna make the leap of faith and finally quit to do music full time. Thanks again for this video.
Thank you for sharing this. There's so much truth and honesty in it! I've done the Creative Freelance thing for about 10 years, but recently worked full time in the most lucrative UX Design job of my career. So I built up an amazing life for my family and then during covid, I lost that job, and all the securities that came with it. Currently, I'm rebuilding my Creative Freelance business again with a new outlook of music production. This video really helps me remember those critical motivations to keep creatively diversifying and moving forward. Thanks again! Stay Awesome!! 🤘😎 🎶
Thanks Ed! I am a new producer, been doing it for 7.5 months and am trying to step out of my comfort zone and start putting myself and my stuff out there! It is my dream to live comfortably off of my art and I hope this time next year, that will be a solid reality for some time!
Passive income means we don't trade time for money. We write music today which continues to pay for years to come. I leverage Production music for this and earn a great living. And I'm with you Ed. Time is the most valuable resources we have! 👍
good structered educational intro! Do something you wanna do, don't waste time on useless things... Life's short so If you wanna do something you're good at, try to be the best at it!
Love this video - I've been teaching guitar + drums for years now and it's perfect to do alongside beat making. Even with covid, I just moved the lessons online (skype, pdf's, etc)
I am a fan of your work man, you have music on your veins, very creative and also with a positive energy! Your advices are deep and definitely truth. I wish you all the best and keep doing what you love, coz you are doing well!!! Blessings!
I've recently dropped out of university to focus on my music, with each lecture I went to, it only made me realise what my true passion is. I'm no where near the point where I can earn a living off my music though, but videos like this really help, your an inspiration man, I'll get there one day
Honestly, this video helped me so much. I've always shared the sentiment you have, about "normal" jobs being a waste of time, literally. You're selling your time to someone who's paying you so little and then you're so drained that you want to use your spare time to rest instead of working on your passions. I'm finally in a place where I can afford the items I need to start producing music, which is a passion I've had since I was young. I got a new laptop, software, and am about to get a midi controller. I am so new to it so it feels overwhelming, but your videos and others on here have been very helpful and inspiring. I have a lot of other skills that I've developed more, and though it seems like common sense, what you said about finding creative ways to monetize your skills hit home to me. As creative people we kind of already have a different life path than the average worker, in my opinion, and so we need to be ambassadors for our selves and find ways to mix our art into our work. So thanks so much because this really made me realize that I can do it, I just need to sit down and really figure out ways to make my goals happen and then pursue it.
super important topic Ed, thank you so much for sharing. Some additional advice would be to focus on earning enough in the short term to live with a healthy lifestyle but still have time and energy to develop your skill and craft, if you only work to try and make a lot of money straight away you won't have any time to get good at the things that you really need to, they won't earn you a lot instantly but will make you way more in the long term. Live frugally in the short term and stay within your means and your craft will gradually snowball with time. Delayed gratification, super powerful :) Kobi

sucks that you gave up. just watched your solar energy rap! if you kept posting videos like that you'd be monetised by now.
Don’t believe people when they say things won’t work out. Sometimes the things that are safe and may easily work out don’t end up working out anyway.
You do what you think is right for you and never let anyone control your path.
Make kits, up sell your beats into “tiers” that give value at the middle price, use social media to minimize your expenses by growing an audience over time...
So how would social media be used to lower expenses? Thanks for the insight with the comment.

keep the morale up and dont let people's bad energy get to you! Been producing beats for 6 months myself
Keep moving forward. May I suggest an audiobook? Atomic Habits by James Clear. I think it would help as you establish a foundation in consistency.
