Sell beats online without the need for a record label or anything of the sort. Read this article and educate yourself on what's really happening in the music production industry!
If you're a producer and you're not on the quest to sell beats online then you need to rethink your strategy. It's becoming more and more known that hip hop production is an absolute gold mine. This entire article is trying to get you to understand exactly what your creative mind is worth.
You can sell beats in a great number of ways,
so you're not limited to just one or two options, but my favorite way to make money is to sell my pieces online to rappers around the world. It's been extremely easy for me to dominate this market and make some serious cash, and it would be easy for you too. But the beat market is live in all directions.
You could go about selling your beats in a variety of different ways. I'll let you know my favorite kinds of promotions, the first being one you may have already tried... The first way to make money selling beats is to distribute your music directly to mainstream artists and major management.
I don't like trying to make ends meet this way because it's simply not very reliable. The truth of the matter is, the only way to really get somewhere in this industry without connections is to put a huge amount of work and effort into it (unless you sell online). You should be going to industry parties on a daily basis if possible, even if you have to pay to get in. Make connections in these spots.
Whenever you go to one of these parties, you should come as prepared as possible. Bringing along a bunch of CD's with 100-500 beats on it is a great calling card. You can connect with music guys and give them the CD. Be sure to have your contact information written on the CD itself (not just the case) so contacting you is as easy as possible for them. It's not like you don't stand a chance because getting beats from you is cheaper than getting them from major producers. In fact they may want to only pay you in royalties, so do your research and watch out for those contracts.
The best way to sell beats is to sell your beats online. All you have to do is sing up for an account on Soundclick.com and begin. There is even a free account if you can't afford the $9.95/mo VIP account (which is obviously the better choice, EVERYBODY in the top charts has a VIP account). You'd be amazed if I told you how many beat makers are cashing in on that website right now, pulling in a full time income.
It's well known that there is no other website in the world better for beat selling than Soundclick. You can surpass the amounts you make on this website only when you create your own site and start marketing it with a big spending budget and a huge amount of time, effort and work. Everybody knows about Soundclick, so if you're not already on it and working towards selling beats on that site, you're at a serious disadvantage.
There are more than 1.4 million rappers signed up to Soundclick. That means that you're going to be promoting directly to an audience FULL of people that all need beats for their music. Many of them are willing to pay... Most of the professionals are anyway, and many of them are willing to drop hundreds, even thousands of dollars on exclusives.
