The 10 Best Things About Being an Electronic Music Producer

By Caesar King

Let's face it, electronic music took the stage in the music industry. Dj's and Producers are more popular now, than ever before. Here are 10 ways you can take advantage of being an electronic music producer.

1. You Can Reach the World

The internet, a beautiful thing when used properly, can help you reach people you could possibly never have visited in previous times. In the blink of an eye, your Soundcloud upload can reach billions around the world in countries you can't even pronounce. That's how powerful your position is.

See, what happens is, we get so used to technology that it becomes "old" to us. Do you know how long it took to come out with the mac book pro?? Took since the beginning of time until this era to develop that piece of gear. Don't write off technology as something weak or purposeless. All you have to do is look back 50 years and see how easy things have become now in days and how fast and strong we can reach the world.

2. You Can Make Money While You Sleep

Contrary to popular belief, musicians do actually make money online. Whether that's advertisement money, sponsorship money, contractual deal money, song sales money, licensing money. It's endless and so is the amount of hours your music works for you. Since you're an electronic music producer using the electronic medium of the internet, you can have your work - work for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Your work won't sleep, it will generate income for you while you sleep, literally. Don't get caught up in the hear say that you can't make money online. The people saying that never tried hard enough and didn't approach it the right way. When you truly introduce value to your clients and serve them well, you will be paid in exchange. I don't care what you read about streaming sites paying pennies, people will pay for lots of value. I can name 3 albums/songs I bought after I heard the free streaming songs. If you really want to know - JMSN (Blue); Snoop Dogg (Bush - Edibles, So Many Pros); Rick Ross (Mastermind); Michael Jackson (Xscape).

3. Everyone Can Hear What You Released

No more record labels holding back your work. You can freely put out music whenever you want. The power of the independent artist is rising and you can now hold more control of your destiny in this music industry. This will ultimately cut down on the amount of manipulation used by crooked managers and record label executives against musical artists. Finally, you have the power to enrich someone else's life whenever you feel ready.

4. You Will Find a Niche of Fans Who Love Your Work

We all know we don't like the same music. That's the beauty of You. You get to express yourself and find people around the world who Love the sound you bring to the world. You will find people who care and understand your sound, whether that's an emotional rollercoaster or a thriving club beat. You will find someone in the world who loves your sound. That's the power of You.

Try expressing yourself through your music, because there is only one You and the world wants to hear from you. Make it your goal to find and reach those who love your sound and serve them with your best work. Being an electronic music producer allows you to create sounds that haven't even been thought of yet, so take your imagination and run with it.

5. Your Music Can be Transferred Anywhere

With the addition of external hard drives, flash drives and other technology I'm not aware of yet, you can get your music around fast. Remember taking the time to burn tons of CDs with your work so your buddy can play it in his car. Now, all you have to do is upload your track to SoundCloud, your buddy downloads it-or streams it from SoundCloud directly in the car for your next double date at Denny's.

It is so fun listening to exclusive music that maybe only you and your buddies know the lyrics to and jamming in the car going to the next festival. Who doesn't want to have fun with their hard work in music creation. Turn your new creations up LOUD in the car and bask in your skill.

6. There is No Competition

As mentioned before, when you express yourself, you have NO competition- No one can be you. And now we have more tools than ever to create sound, you can separate yourself from the millions of fearful producers who think they'll be washed away in the noise of the industry.

You have everything you need to be You. So, don't worry about the next guy's level of success, it's not for you. When you do YOU, you will eventually create your own success that no one can copy. You will realize, it's your own success, and trying to get other people's success is like trying to be a person you can never be, ever. You can only be You and when you do so, you will achieve your own success to never be matched.

7. Technology Gets Better Everyday

With technology growing so rapidly, you have endless possibility. I'm sure the music industry is on the latter tail of the technological advancements but even then, we are getting tons of new advancements which make music even funner and more interesting everyday. One hindrance we have as creators is getting stale and bored. We must find inspiration to keep us pushing harder than ever and technology keeps us on our feet. That's a good thing. We need these new developments and technologies if we want to stay inspired. So, don't fear technology, look at it like a necessity for your advancement.

8. Music is Being Published Faster than Ever

This is some of the greatest news you could receive. The music industry is growing everyday and people are consuming music at crazy rates. So crazy that we have streaming sites competing for your business because trying to buy all the albums that come out in a month would bankrupt you, unless you're rich. So, to solve that issue, streaming sites are offered to let us consume even more music. Your future in this industry is bright- so develop the YOU and get great.

9. Criticism is a Sign You're Elevating

Whenever you are criticized for your work, you know you are headed for a new dawn. I would rather get criticism from 4 out of 100 random people than to only reach 96. You must understand that growing your influence is more important than the NOW. Your influence will help morph the world to your true values and goals. Think about it, without criticism and influence how could Martin Luther King get his message across? He wasn't a billionaire with tons of cash to promote himself, he simply had a huge goal and influence to make that goal a reality. So, influence is your chief aim when it comes to anything in life. You want control and control allows you to get your goals accomplished in this world to ultimately make it a better place.

10. Music Transcends Language Barriers

As an artist, you understand that music is a language into itself. Your power as a music creator is to speak this invisible language and move the moods of millions. Music was once considered the language of the gods. I think we forget how long it took to discover harmony itself using strings. People, you must see how far we've come in music. Your position is of no simple matter, you are here in the NOW to create, influence, and change the world.
Music can heal, hype up, or hinder growth depending on how you use it. Take the power of music and get your true message across to your loving fans.

Thank you for stopping by today, please share this article to uplift our musical community because we all have the power to be the greatest US we can be. So be YOU, and you will find your true success.
