Beat Selling Online
Let’s talk for a moment about beat selling and how it applies to you as a beat maker. I know there is a lot of skepticism among producers who don’t want to believe that there is money to be made online. Honestly this is not the truth. It’s simply about finding the right advertising methods that work for you and cashing in on that market.
I think that SEO marketing is the key to success online if you have a website. I really love getting free traffic every day from the search engines without having to lift a finger. I combine that with article marketing, viral marketing and more to create some real buzz for my products (including beats).
Having said that, if you’re new to selling beats online then Soundclick is the best place for you to start, bar none. That’s where almost everybody starts because not only is it the #1 most popular site for producers online, but it’s got a huge amount of rappers/hip hop artists on site too. That means there are actually customers coming from inside the site, unlike websites like RocBattle or MyBeatShop that are communities completely built from beat makers.
The best qualities about Soundclick are the following facts:
1. If you make it to a high position in the Beats/Instrumentals charts on Soundclick, you will be seeing gigantic promotion. When I get into the top 10 on Soundclick I usually see about 20,000-50,000 plays per day on average with over 4,000 downloads. That all translates into sales and my beats are all tagged.
2. Soundclick provides paid promotions that are rather expensive but extremely well worth it. Also, there are many little-known advertisements on Soundclick that most people don’t even like talking about… All that is covered in the eBooks I’ve written (link near the bottom of this article).
3. Soundclick has perfected the snowball effect because as you rise in the charts, your plays almost exponentially rise.
This is a challenge for all my readers: go out today and try selling your music! If you think you can license your beats off to rappers because you’ve got quality music, then it’s time to start. Check out the links in the paragraph below and visit my site to download the eBooks which will help you in your quest to make money.
