Selling Hip Hop Beats- Where to Begin
Before I start I want to thank you for coming across my article and giving it a chance. My name is Kyle "HB" Artzt and I sell beats under the name Beats4Legends. This article was written in order to help producers begin selling their beats online and get their feet wet in the online production game. Believe me when I say that it's not nearly as hard as you might think it is!
Making music has always been my age old passion. Ever since I was about 10 years old it was my dream to make a full time income selling my beats, and now I'm happy to say that I've achieved this goal. I'm more than excited to share my research with you and let you know exactly what I've learned in my many years of hard work.
This article is written for beginners who are trying to get their feet wet in the hip hop production game online. The more advanced beat marketers may not find useful information here, so to learn more click the links in our resource box. I have created a list of the best 3 websites for selling beats online and ranked them in order of effectiveness below.
1. Soundclick- Truly, there is no other site that will help you sell your beats faster than Soundclick. Whether you're a beat selling newbie or an advanced salesman, if you don't have a Soundclick account you need to start one right now. Soundclick is considered by thousands of producers to be the best website for massive exposure as an independent beat maker.
2. MySpace- Selling beats on MySpace can be as easy as taking candy from a baby. The trick is to establish relationships with as many rappers as you can and use soft selling techniques to push your product. This means not directly selling your beats, but instead forming relationships and "selling" later on down the road.
3. MyBeatShop- This website is well known for it's usability and effectiveness. I like MyBeatShop because they allow you to upload your beats. They also do you the favor of tagging and protecting your instrumentals which helps assure that you're beats won't get stolen. They deal with delivery and contracts, so that takes out a large portion of your work right there.
This is just some of the start up information necessary for producers trying to sell beats online. If you're trying to learn more advanced techniques then I suggest clicking the links in our resource box and researching further.
Hope this helps!
