Learn how to play multiple instruments, learn how to read sheet music, master tempo’s, perhaps even write your own music.

Learn how to use a soundboard. Learn how to use multiple computer programs. Create some beats, and don’t only write for one genre. Try doing punk, ska, rock, rap, r&b, country, funk, jazz, and the likes. The more genre’s you do, the more broad your horizons, the more clients you can have

Start networking. Create business cards. Tell your family and friends you’re producing music. Post bulletins around your neighborhood. You will get clients in no time, if your prices are reasonable. Charge cheaply per hour, or per song. Do you have a cousin who is a great singer? A uncle who has a niche for playing the tuba. Produce them, but remember usually keep family and business separate

Go to college. Get a degree. If music production doesn’t work out, you have something to fall-back on. Sound engineering, or something to do with business would be a good choice.

After you receive a good income, you could save up, and start your own studio with your clients that you have gathered all this time, or can continue your job with a production company.
