5 Things You Should Know About Buying Beats Online



Expert Author Bryon StClair
If you are an up and coming artist looking to buy beats online, here are a few points to consider before you make purchases for your next project.
Tip - 1 Know what type of beat you are looking for!
Before you buy beats online, you should first have some basic idea of what kind of beats you want for your projects. All producers do not create all types of beats well, even though they may claim that they do. You should also consider the type of consumers you plan to target. Planning this out ahead of time will help you choose beats. Then look for producers that compliment your writing style and personality.
Tip - 2 Know what your budget is!
Before you decide to buy beats, make sure you have a pretty good idea of how much you are willing to spend. Most producers will charge $20 - $100 for non-exclusive rights and $200 -$10,000 dollars to own exclusive rights per beat. Also look for bulk or package deals. Some producers will run specials where you buy a set number of beats for a discounted price. No matter what the deal STAY WITHIN YOUR BUDGET!
Tip - 3 Get to know your producer!
Before you buy beats, try to find a producer online that first: has the kind of tracks you are looking for, second: Is someone you would be willing to build a relationship with and third: has some credibility selling beats to consumers over the internet. There are many producers out there who are up and coming just like you so building that relationship and having that rapport is key to building your brand in the music industry.
Tip - 4 Exclusive or Non Exclusive!
Learn the difference between "Exclusive" and "Non Exclusive beats". You might ask "what's the difference between Exclusive and Non Exclusive beats?" Well if you buy an Exclusive beat you will be the owner of that beat. You purchase the beat and then download it to your hard drive, after which the beat is then taken down off the site never to be sold again. When you purchase a Non Exclusive beat which is much cheaper than an Exclusive beat, the beat will be yours but there is a huge chance that the beat has been sold multiple times before. That means that you will not be the only one that has it. So make a decision and decide what will fit into your budget.
Tip - 5 Get an agreement in writing!
When you buy your beats online you should definitely make sure you can get some type of printable licensing agreement which will let you know how and for how long you can use the beats.
By following these simple tips buying beats online will become an enjoyable part of building your music career and help you save huge amounts of money, time and headaches.
Good Luck to you and See ya on the journey peace
