To Sell Hip Hop Beats on the internet whether or not you have connections or a budget so start out with. The truth of the matter is, beat selling is not a hard task.
The best websites to promote your beats would definitely be Soundclick and MySpace. Both of them are full of rappers, meaning full of potential clients who may purchase from you in the future.
Making really dope beats is the first step to selling beats online, promoting is actually less important for the time being. It sounds like some obvious stuff, but this is why many producers fail before they even start. Don't promote yourself until you know, beyond a reasonable doubt, that your beats will sell.
You definitely don't need to be one of the sickest producers on this side of the universe in order to sell, but you should have "sellable" rap beats all over your page. Don't try to be too original and weird, and in the same way don't be too generic and bland.
The best types of beats to sell include hardcore, R&B, sampled and club beats. In my experience, those types of instrumentals simply sell a lot faster than any other kind. Being too original is a bad move, and sounding too generic is terrible as well. It's funny because it's hard to tell when you're ready.. The best way to know is to ask extremely talented rappers who's sound is very high quality. If the guy's who are making the most professional sounding music like your beats, then you may be ready. If not, you may need some work.
Once you have some hot beats, you need to promote them effectively in order to sell them. The best places to promote your beats include Soundclick, MySpace, MyBeatShop and RocBattle. The problem with RocBattle and MyBeatShop is that they're websites made to attract producers more than rappers... This means that your target audience may be harder to find.
I have written 3 eBooks on the subjects "How to Sell Beats on Soundclick", "How to Sell Beats on MySpace", and "How to Sell Beats on Forums + General Information to Boost Sales 300%". Check out the eBooks and be ready for more articles to come. I promise you won't be disappointed. |
