Tips For Aspiring Producers

By Alexander Wyderka


Selling beats via the internet is a very smart way to generate profits. What is better than generating revenue by doing your interest: music? And this is pretty comparable for every interest: it doesn't matter if you are a painter, a writer or a singer: if you can get bucks from what you love to do that is definitely a superb sensation.

But yet, before even thinking about to get money you should know a few things regarding the "how"! You can't speed into a business not understanding just a few rules. Yes, you read it right: I said "business", as it is a business. If you need to generate income you should think about your art like a business, even if it is art.

And I am fairly sure you might agree with me on that: even when you do art that doesn't mean you don't aspire to make a profit from it, art is not free...or at least: not always, especially if you want to do that for a living. You must consider it as a job. Justin Bieber sings, this is art however it is as well his each day job. And also, of course, he has a whole staff to market is art.

Marketing. Yes. Just because if you want to sell your beats via the internet you have to think about marketing strategy identical to any kind of enterprise needs one. What do you truly desire? Think about this question. Are you a beatmaker trying to make a career of it or just someone who want to sell beats occasionally? Let me explain something: you need to use the identical techniques for both circumstance. Mainly because potential customers don't know about you: you have to find a way to get visibility. But how? How to take the first step?

Nowadays all is about networking. Here is the key. Use the internet to your benefit. How can customers discover you if you are not visible? So the very first thing to do is usually to make a web site. But I'm speaking about a professional one. Don't let customers locate you on twitter or soundclick. It helps however let me say you that in a straight line: this is not professional. Remember you should treat your art like a business. If you want to have people to select your beats give them several serious reasons to do it. And this is also important to have your own url. You can find diverse distributors on internet that offer interesting formula.

So you have a web page! Kudos! What is after that? First be sure you include several sections on your internet site. I can see numerous producers who simply have an individual page to sell beats but for me personally it's more advantageous if you help to make your visitors the most comfortable as they can. They must feel like home. Give them reasons to return on your web site...Let them interact. You could insert a community forum for example. That way singers, rappers or even songwriter might write about any specific theme or even advertise on your web site. Give it some thought: a rapper just bought one of your beats and place the final result on the community forum, other artists gonna see it and it will be good exposure for you. They would return regulary on your web site and that way you can connect with them.

Include a discussion board and also all of your social networks, don't forget to post your previous work with some singers then the brand new guests will hear the final products which give a better idea of what they can do with your beats. Post your biography and references if you have any. Think about all that. Learn to transform your website visitors into a future groups of people.

Now the evident question is: how can you sell your beats. There are actually many different methods however the most well-known is probably Myflashstore. They provide a flash or html 5 player you can 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 that people trust Paypal. However if you don't want to use Myflashstore you can set your very own store and place a Paypal link for each beat.

The secret is also in diversity: it doesn't really make a difference if you produce hiphop beats or even pop beats. However if you do several genre it's more effective simply because you will maximize your clientele. If I know I will get pop, rnb and more on a site I probably gonna select this one at first. But if you simply produce one genre make sure to propose beats that doesn't sound similar.

High quality. It is obvious however lots of beatmakers just forget about quality. Then again it's rather personal, anybody will pick up a beat for the reason that in its own perception it is the best beat never made however another person will probably think this is just garbage. It's in your hands, Do you think you are skilled? Have a look at the levels of competition and step your game up. Constantly do the better work you can do and money should come anyway.

At this point the matter is: how can you obtain targeted visitors? where are the artists? The answer is very simple: if you have been looking for customers visit all online community you can finds rappers, singers, songwriters and also discuss with them. Introduce yourself in a good manner, don't just simply appear and say: "buy my beats". You also have plenty of artists on twitter and facebook. That's a great start but yet this is not the secret.

What exactly is the secret? Well, you definitely going to have site visitors from advertisement on community forums or others. But you have a lot of them who check out beats on the search engines. They lookup "buy beats" or any keywords and phrases related to beats and find web sites that sell beats like you. So the following action would be to get ranking your web sites higher to allow it to be visible on the search engine. And this is definitely a solid competition because this business is incredibly highly profitable but when you can get on the 1st page of Yahoo and Google you unquestionably get website traffic because people see you.

How to get on very first Google or Yahoo page? It's all about promoting. And your site must possess significant contents. That's exactly why I have written you need to keep your web site professional. Think business, think marketing strategies...and dream BIG.
