The Beatmaker's Youtube Struggle 

I've been working for years now on my Youtube channel. I've been trying various methods of gaining subscribers and increasing views. I've used (and still use) Tube Buddy, Vid IQ and others.

I remember posting my first beats as soundclick instrumentals when I first toyed with the idea of selling beats online and having instrumentals for sale. When I first started FullRangeBeats a few years ago, I selected Airbit as my beat player and distribution host. They seemed to be the best fit for what I was doing at the time. There were many good reasons for joining Airbit, 1 of the main reasons was their beat players fit seamlessly into the Bandzoogle platform, whom I use to host and as my website…
