subject: Sell Beats Online: Advanced [print this page] You don't need to be a million dollar producer to sell beats online. If you think that your beats aren't tight enough to make it on the internet, you may need to reconsider. Sure, you should wait until you're confident that you're bringing the heat, but I've seen some extremely talented producers tell me that they're not good enough to compete. A sellable beat is easier to come across than you might think.
If you think that you can start selling beats without having to learn anything, you're not going to find success. For instance, if you haven't already uncovered the fact that content is the most important aspect of marketing and if you don't know how to get a conversion rate then you're behind.
Let me explain what a conversion rate is... A conversion rate is the number of visitors who turn into buyers after visiting your site. This means that if 100 people visit your site within a day and 2 of them buy, that's a 2% conversion rate. You can also have a conversion rate for gathering emails, too. Let's say 100 visitors come to your site and 10 join your mailing list. That's a 10% conversion rate.
Doing this kind of advertising, where you gather the email address of those who come to your site, can often times be a great deal more effective than if you tried just selling to them the first time they come around. This is because if the visitors gives you their email, you have the chance to try to sell to them again and again, meaning they might also turn into repeat customers and loyal buyers!
You are online and as long as that remains true, there is some serious potential for you to discover. Websites like Soundclick and RocBattle are full of people who sell beats on a consistent basis, and you usually get the most effective knowledge by simply asking guys who already make the money online. If you haven't already at least contacted the big sellers on those websites and asked them short & quick questions about how to sell beats, then you should try it. You'd be surprised how much you can learn and how many of them will actually be willing to teach you something.
Starting off on websites like RocBattle and Soundclick are the easiest ways to make some initial money, but there is a ceiling. Usually, the average Soundclick producer gets up to about $3,000 per month and that turns into a pretty sustainable amount of money. But once you've hit those numbers, you've basically seen the ceiling. You're not going to go over $5,000 per month, even if you're above average. Very few people make 6 digit incomes from sites like those.
If you expect to really make money, you need to think about expanding. Either take over many websites at once or change the game by creating your own website with your own independent hosting, under your own domain. I can tell you that's the easiest way to start making that big 6-digit income from beat selling.
I know that there are other ways to make money as a music producer, too. The most effective way would definitely be to team up with an amazing artist who will make some hot songs over your best beats. Take those songs, turn them into a project (like a CD or an album) and begin selling them online. If you can reach a few thousand record sales, then your name will be spread like wildfire. People will see that you produced the tracks and they'll know to contact you in the event that they want beats. If your artist goes far, you can search out record deals as well and make it take off. The greatest part about this is the people who contact you after hearing about you by listening to your artist will be expecting to pay a lot more for exclusive rights than you'd normally make online.
