Buy Beats on the Internet? Back to the Future

Yep, who would have thought ten years ago music producers would come online to start selling beats. The online hip-hop beat industry is now making their way on the Internet and setting up shop to market their music with out record labels. To take full advantage and make money as an online producer, follow these three easy steps.

Before you even attempt to sell the first beat. You need to educate your self and learn the difference between a non-exclusive beat and an exclusive beat. The last thing you want to do is sell off the rights to a beat that could make you a lot of money if you sell it non-exclusive. It is simple understand. An exclusive beats sale means you sell the beat one time and can never sell it again. The non-exclusive beat sale means you can sell the same beat repeatedly and keep making money from the same beat. You will have to make the best decision for yourself, however it doesn’t hurt to use the non-exclusive way and keep the ownership of the beats you produce.

You need to learn the best places to sell your beats online. There are many reputable websites online and more and more pop up every month. There is Soundclick, Givemebeats, and Mybeatshop. There are more, but none as big as the ones mentioned. They all have there good points and bad points, however one that stands out above all for online music producers is Rocbattle.com. They let you keep 100% of your sells and charge a low fee to maintain your account. The others take up to 50% of your sells and this could really eat away at your profits, especially being and up and coming producer. I would say choose wisely and do what is best for you pockets.

How will you promote your beats online to get sales? None of these websites can guarantee you make an income on the internet. However, you can use some key strategies to put yourself in a better position to get the sales you desire. Here are three things to remember. 1), Always build value for your customer. Some people sell one beat for a single price. However, what if you added 2 beats free with the purchase of one of your beats. Will this double or triple your sales? 2), How about if you provided some industry related information with the purchase of each sale. Could your target market be enticed to purchase from you because of the special offers you present. Just think if you added a copyrighting service for artist that purchased your beats, would that increase your sales. Whatever you do, don’t limit your ideas. 3), What if you started a news group for artist only that would inform them of the latest news in the music industry. This would be great for you to stay in front of your target market.
