Beat Selling Tips
Beat selling can be accomplished by any beat maker around the world, regardless of personal circumstance or location. With the use of the internet, you can sell beats online and become successful. Never give up before at least giving it a good shot. Though there are definitely many producers online, making the competition somewhat fierce, the fact still remains that the internet is the largest market ever known for beat makers.

Skepticism can be found throughout all ranks of the producer community when it comes to beat selling and making money as a beat maker. Most people who want to become a music producer end up completely missing the fact that the internet is a great venue for your beats to pull in a great full time income.
I've seen success using multiple forms of marketing including SEO marketing,
viral marketing and article marketing which have all helped me raise my profits when trying to sell my beats. Proper advertising is all about finding one method that works and then thinking of creative ways to magnify that exposure, doubling and tripling it as you go.
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.
Soundclick is tight for the following reasons:
1. Rising in the charts on Soundclick is more valuable promotion-wise than any other charts online... If you get to the top 10 on Soundclick, your site is seeing 20,000-100,000 plays PER day which translates into beat selling.
2. The promotions that I pay for are crazy because for their price they get you RIGHT up there in the top 20 (note that I pay for super secret promos that most people don't know about, I mention them in the eBooks) but about 50% of the types of promo they offer are completely useless. I've literally spent $1,000's on Soundclick (easily) and I have tried every type of promo imaginable.
3. Rising in Soundclick's charts is a great way to take a look at the "snow ball effect" of viral marketing. As you get higher in those charts you see a direct increase in sales.
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.
