Get It Out

How to release the song that has been sitting in your folder

Written after asking a few hundred artists what they made with the beats they bought. Almost everyone said the same thing: it is finished, or nearly, and it is still in a folder. Nine pages on telling whether your mix is actually fine, the five fixes that solve most of it, and why the licence you already bought lets you release it.

The First 100

Finding your first real listeners without a budget or a team

A short book for independent artists on building something around your music before anyone knows who you are. No growth hacks, no ad spend, just the part everybody skips.

Why these are free

I sell beats. I do not sell guides, and I am not building a mailing list out of them. Most of what stops a song coming out is not the beat, it is the hundred small things nobody explains, so it costs me nothing to explain them.

If one of these helps you finish something, send it to me at mgmt@betwiinbeats.com. That is the only thing I want back.
