Great move. I never had limits on my leases. -"Free" had tags every 30 seconds. Recently, I allowed limited commercial use. -"Basic" is mp3. Only for streaming. -"Premium" is wav. For physical sells and radio. Stuff that requires higher quality audio. -"Ultimate" is tracked out. For people who need to use the beat for syncing. But check this. All beats are non-exclusive. And the basic & premium lease still includes 1 tag in the beginning of the beat. I had a similar thinking approach as you. Removing the friction. My reason for leaving the one tag in the basic and premium lease was to offer them at lower prices while having a reason to still purchase the next level lease based more on the need & experience of the artist, not the limitations or metrics neither of us are keeping track of. I am very interested in your follow up videos. Keep pumpin' the content, homie.
I've been selling my beats with only unlimited licenses for about 2 - 3 years for the exact same reasons you do. It unquestionably creates less friction for the buyer; especially artists who are new to beat leasing.
Love this man imma start doing this tbh wen I first started beat stars I was confused about the streaming stuff and it all seemed strange to me now just imagine how a rapper would feel wen trying to lease a beat wen even a producer gets confused about it so tnx for this vid once again 🙏🏼
this what i been saying for a while noooooww... im actually thinking on just selling two types of leases: WAV Unlimited Leases and WAV + Stems Unlimited Leases. i mean that MP3 / WAV difference is bs too imo, nobody really can tell a difference. Dope vid luke!
Really interesting! I'm relatively new to beat selling and always wondered why these license were so "complicated"😅. Seemed very counterproductive to me. Now i know i'm not alone haha😂 Thanks for the content x Carlos
Seems logical, Iv'e been over complicating this for me and for others only because I thought this was the industry standard. But felt bit wrong doing so. Like you said, how the hell Im gonna know if someone is passed one of those limits or not? Creating pointless friction for both sides. Still want to rethink it, but overall I think you are right, and will probably switch to doing the same. Thank you!
I agree with you on this to a point. I feel like making all your leases unlimited will price you out of selling any exclusives as well as losing future lease upgrading money. You would be surprised how many artists who write a song to ur basic lease would pay a discounted rate to upgrade to unlimited. I just feel like the best option is somewhere in between. Not unlimited but also not super low limits. Like 100k-500k streams and 1000-5000 unit sales on a basic lease is good because the artist knows they are just getting the most basic option and its still a lot of room to grow. if they get a song to 500k streams then it would be worth upgrading or even copping the exclusive anyways. You would probably make better money if you just created a pack of beats like 10-20 different top selling beats and charge a higher price for the pack like $100-$200 and the pack comes with unlimited rights rather then potentially lowering your lifetime customer value by offering cheaper unlimited on all your catalog. Def interested to see how this works out tho.
Nah any artist that thinks about this for a second will realize you cant track them so they dont need to upgrade anything plus 97% of artist dont sell 100 copies anyway. Artist that want exclusives are still going to buy them
I've been selling beats online since 2018 and I can't think of a single artist who's upgraded their lease. I'd rather charge a premium up front than try to chase down the same people later to try and get them to upgrade their lease
Great move.

Thanks for the breakdown there. Your setup makes sense to me. Update video coming soon
Great! Thanks bro. You got a great point. And its true.
No problem Danny
really smart, let me know how It Is going in the future I'm going to try It also, and get back to you
Thanks fam sounds good
Yeah I am trying as well, will share my experience
"All beat leases are unlimited already" 😂 So true...
This is a great point. Simpler is pretty much always better
Big facts. Thanks for watching!
Good experiment, looking forward to knowing more about how it performs! thanks for sharing bro
No problem fam
back in the mix ;)
👀
Mannnn I realized this a couple months ago and changed up accordingly. It really is a good way to break down a big wall for buyers
Agreed
You on to something here Luke
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for the 💎 bro, good idea.. i gonna do the same💪🏻

Great to hear it’s been working for you for that long
Great move!...I did the same on my Beat Store...inspired by your website a couple weeks ago. Thanks...keep bringing the gems bro!
Awesome. Happy to help man more otw
I did this as soon I got Beatstars so I feel you.
I was thinking about this, specially because there is no way to police and enforce said limits. This makes a lot of sense for me.
Glad we're on the same page
This actually makes complete sense🔥
🙏🏻
definitely need an update video on this 🔥
I got you
Def a logical move.
Thanks man yeah I'm happy with my decision so far
Love this man imma start doing this tbh wen I first started beat stars I was confused about the streaming stuff and it all seemed strange to me now just imagine how a rapper would feel wen trying to lease a beat wen even a producer gets confused about it so tnx for this vid once again 🙏🏼
Exactly! Better to take as much guesswork out of the equation as possible. Thanks for watching.
cuz you i sold beats, thank u man! I watched all of your videos. Wish we can make collab someday 🔥
Thank you for the support fam. Feel free to send loops to my email for collabs
this what i been saying for a while noooooww... im actually thinking on just selling two types of leases: WAV Unlimited Leases and WAV + Stems Unlimited Leases. i mean that MP3 / WAV difference is bs too imo, nobody really can tell a difference. Dope vid luke!
Thanks fam. I feel you on that mp3 vs wav thing. Been thinking about that a lot myself.
This is cool man, I think it’s a logical move
Thanks dawg 🙏🏻

👀👀👀
Really interesting!

Thanks for watching Carlos!
@@luke4pres one thing got me wondering tho, how do you go about free downloads on your beats? With or without tags?
Seems logical, Iv'e been over complicating this for me and for others only because I thought this was the industry standard.

You're welcome fam. I feel you 100% on creating pointless friction.
GREAT POINTS!! Definitely is foolish to think us producers are policing stream counts for service. Thanks for the gems Luke!
Thanks fam. Glad we’re on the same page here
hey, after 5 month unlimited selling your beats, how did it turned out for you? best from berlin.
Good idea bro. I might do the same. Thanks for the 💎
Happy to help fam
So are there updates now? ❤
Apple Music for artists but I think you need access from their end haha
i think its a great idea 💯
Thanks fam
Brilliant
Appreciate you bro
3:30 well honestly i have seen many people do unlimited track outs for 30-50 bucks bro
Well they should be charging more for sure 💯
@@luke4pres well thats facts. I dont even know what all these 1 dollar beat channels doing aswell. Like whats the point lol
