Selling Beats


More and more producers are looking to sell their beats online and gain further exposure for themselves. So you may be wondering, "where should I sell my beats?"

Many serious producers have started selling their beats at beat stores like RocBattle.com, MyBeatShop.com, or BeatSwagger.com. The problem with selling beats this away is that most of  these sites take a percentage of each sale you make. Which usually isn't that much, but if you're like me you probably want to keep every dime from you sales. This is why I recommend using MyFlashStore.net, it is a great site with a professional design that doesn't require a commission.

MyFlashstore.net also provides producers with some of the best widgets, players, and content. The best part about using their service is you can post your beat catalog anywhere html or java script is excepted. This gives you limitless options on where you can embed your beat player. MyFlashstore.net also has an app for Facebook as well where you can embed your player on your fan page.

 Also, at some point it would be a great idea to invest in your own website and post your beat player there as well. Once you have set up your subscription, take the time to look into a great website host. Having your own website gives you full control of your sales and marketing. You'll be able to establish your brand and build brand awareness this way.

The biggest downside to using sites like RocBattle.com and sites formatted like it is, you would be directly competing with your competition for the attention of artists interested in licensing beats. In most cases artists log onto such sites and just start browsing through the large selection of producers looking to sell beats. Often times they find a producer they like, and move on to the next producer to see what they offer. This usually leads to artists being unsure of how to get back to the producer they initially were interested in. By investing in your own site, you are able to create a unique domain that your customers can become familiar with and trust as a reliable source for beats.

Selling beats online is a very competitive market, so standing out from the crowd of other producers is essential to your success. Just because you have some dope beats doesn't mean you'll make the consistent big sales. You have to be able to market your beat site effectively and consistently in order to achieve your number one goal, which should be getting more exposure and obtaining a larger fan base. The most effective way to achieve this is to utilize sites like MyFlashStore.net and all the valuable tools they offer. Once you have done this, then it would be a good idea to invest in your own website where you can direct web traffic.
