Who Wants to Sell Their Beats?

Knowing how to make beats can prove to be a rather lucrative skill.
There are producers who are making from $10,000.00 to $100,000.00 a beat. I'm not suggesting you will immediately start making this kind of money and nor is this article about how to make beats. I am assuming you are already creating beats.
Selling your beats means you need to be clear about what your own beats sound like and is it the sort of beat your clients are looking for (what are they looking for?) and what other beats are available online.
You can use available online beats as an inspiration for your own beats.
It is very hard to make your first sale! One easier start method is if you purchase DubTurbo, there is a place where you can put your beats up for sale in the members area called Audio Daddy.
You will need to create a lot of great beats in your portfolio. You also need to work with Artists who can eventually vouch for your work. This means networking with Artists to build on who you know.
It is this gradual building on your work and associated Artists that will push you forward and eventually move you towards making more money for your own beats.
When you do start selling and build up some clients, it is important to use them to expand by getting testimonials and recommending you to other clients.
This is easily done if you have a professional attitude and always meet your commitments and create quality beats. This means your customers will be happy to recommend you.
To reach this stage does involve a serious commitment to your Art and hard work. It is possible to sell beats now and then for less money, but if you want to replace a job with income from beat making you will need to pursue it in a single minded way.
There are a lot of sites online where you can sell beats like Beatbuggy, Beatswagger and Rocbattle but these don't sell for huge amounts.
Broadjam has clients looking for custom beats and they pay more, but generally you have to build your reputation first.
If you are getting serious about creating beats and selling your stuff, you will most importantly need to look at becoming a legal entity that suits this business. It pays to check with the Tax office in your area. It is useful to have your own website too!
To sum up:-

• You need to work at your beat making to build a reputation.
• You need to be able to be objective when you listen to your own creative work
• You need to find out what buyers/Artists are looking for (Hot Trends)
• Be aware of what beats are available online
• You need to build relationships and sell beats to Artists in your area
• Get Testimonials and referred sales from these buyers
• Have your own website
• Check out how to protect yourself legally from Tax issues and legal action

There is potential for earning good money from your beats, but you need to prepare and protect yourself as there are unscrupulous people in all businesses including the Music industry.
Work hard, listen carefully and go for it.

My name is William RapBeat and I am a late comer to making beats, but am fascinated with the whole Rap, Hip hop scene.
The whole culture of beat making is actually very wide and very diverse. I have made many interesting discoveries and found some unusual techniques.
The main program that I personally use to make beats is amazingly flexible and can produce music from lounge style tunes to hip hop to heavy rock to Jewish music and more.
