I'm not going to waste your time here. Let's get straight to a working formula to get you some sales or at the least, speaking to potential customers every day.
Visit my management thread here
1) Up your price.
If I am an artist on the path to millions, do I want to buy your $5-$25 track?
**** no, I'm going to steal your shit and never tell a soul.
What if I check my email one day, and I get a very professional looking email from a producer, and his beat prices are at the minimum, $100+?
I'm scared this guy has his/her shit copyrighted up the wazoo. I'm contacting him to make a purchase.
Very small increase, very powerful result.
2) Using Twitter
Search "send beats to" to find artists aggresively asking for instrumentals to listen to. Some are customers, some are future customers. It's your job to be in their inbox. Whether you send one tagged mp3 is at your discretion.
Gather all the emails from a 24 hour period and individually send each artist a message.
3) Portfolio
If I'm spending money on buying beats, and you charge me more than $200/ea, having your own website would make me happy. I don't have an explanation. It just makes you look like a professional.
I don't mind Soundcloud.
I don't mind Soundclick, if you have a unique paid theme.

Other strategies for acquiring customers/potential customers:
- Have one page on your website where traffic can submit their email to receive one free instrumental. Create a instrumental to use and tag it once. Request members to only submit their email if they purchase instrumentals. Anticipate.
- Use Google, Bing, and Facebook advertising to direct traffic to your portfolio. More traffic more customers. Increased conversions by linking your email page.
- Develop a local presence - you have a friend of a friend who is an artist. If he likes your music, you're great. If he's already paying you, you're even greater.
