Tips For Aspiring Producers

By Jenny Falcon


Marketing. Yes. Because of the fact that if you wish to sell your beats through the web you have to consider marketing strategy the same as any kind of online business needs one. What do you really want? Ask yourself this question. Are you a beatmaker trying to make a career of it or simply somebody who wish to sell beats occasionally? Let me explain something: you should employ the identical approaches for the two scenario. Just because potential buyers don't know about you: you need to find a way to obtain presence. But how? How to take action?

Right now all is about networking. Here is the key. Use the web to your own benefit. How could people discover you if you are not visible? So the number one thing to do might be to create a website. But I'm talking about a professional website. Don't let people find you on myspace or soundclick. It will help however let me say you that in a straight line: this is simply not professional. Never forget you have to treat your art like a business. If you want people to pay for your beats give them many serious reasons to do it. And this is very important to have your own url. You can find several merchants on the web that provide interesting formula.

So you have a website! Felicitations! What is after that? First of all you should have several sections on your site. I can see plenty of producers who only have an individual web page to sell beats however i would say it's more advantageous if you try to make your visitors the most comfortable as they can. They should feel home. Give them reasons to get back on your internet-site...Let them interact. You could insert a discussion board for instance. That way singers, rappers or songwriter could write about any specific topic as well as promote on your web site. Think about it: a rapper just bought online one of your beats and place the final product on the discussion board, other artists gonna see it and it will be beneficial exposure for you. They would come regulary on your internet site and that way you can link up with all of them.

Add a forum as well as all of your social networks, don't forget to publish your existing work with some rappers then the brand new clients might hear the finalized products which give a better idea of what they can do with your beats. Post your biography and work references if you have any. Think about all that. Learn to transform your visitors into a future purchasers.

Now the obvious question is: how can you sell your beats. You will discover many different products but the most well liked is usually Myflashstore. They feature a flash or html 5 player you should utilize on your internet site. You set it up, upload your beats and you will be ready to go. For the remuneration, this work with Paypal and I suggest to utilize that due to the fact people trust Paypal. But if you don't want Myflashstore you can set your individual retail store and put a Paypal link for every single beat.

The secret is also in diversity: it doesn't really make a difference if you produce hiphop beats or pop beats. But when you do several style it's even better because you gonna maximize your customers. If I realize I will get pop, rnb and more on an internet site I most likely going to go for this one 1st. However if you simply produce one type make certain you propose beats that doesn't sound all the same.

Quality. It is obvious but plenty of beatmakers pay no attention to quality. However it's rather personal, somebody will purchase a beat simply because in its own viewpoint this is the best beat never created however somebody else could possibly think that is just junk. It's up to you, Do you think you are talented? Have a look at the competitors and step your game up. Always do the best work you can do and money should come anyway.

Now the question is: how to obtain visitors? where are the artists? The answer is simple: if you are looking for visitors visit every forum you can finds rappers, singers, songwriters and also discuss with them. Introduce yourself in a nice manner, don't just come and say: "buy my beats". You also have lots of artists on twitter and facebook. That's a good start but yet this is not the key.

What exactly is the secret? Well, you obviously gonna find visitors from advertisement on discussion boards et cetera. But you have a good amount of them who seek beats on search engines. They lookup "buy beats" or any keywords and phrases correlated with beats and find web sites that sell beats just like you. So the next step will be to list your website higher to allow it to be visible on Google or Yahoo. And this is an especially strong level of competition because this business is rather profitable but if you get on the 1st page of Google and yahoo you naturally get traffic to your website because people see you.

How can you get on first Google page? It's all about promoting. And your online business must contain significant contents. That's exactly why I have written you need to maintain your internet site professional. Think business, think marketing tactics...and dream BIG.
