Man, I am shocked by the stats from top selling producers own websites!
All I can say is that right now if you are building a website... STOP!
Don't go any further because you are seriously putting time energy and money
into a system that doesn't bring you sales! yes that's right people
PRODUCER WEBSITES DO NOT MAKE MONEY!
I know this a huge claim but i can assure you 100%
what i'm saying is true!
So before i bring you the facts, I wanna introduce you all to a tool I use.
the tool is built from a site called similarweb. you can get a firefox or chrome extension for free.
This tool shows stats from websites. the kind of data you get to see are
Estimated visits, Countries, Time on site, Pageviews, Bounce Rate, Referrals, Social, Ads etc.
If you want to know if a website is making money you need to go to the referral section in the similarweb tab.
If you see a payment processor like paypal, you know 100% a website is making sales.
The referral tab shows where traffic is coming from and where the site is sending traffic to.
So on a beat selling website you 100% want to see that the site is sending traffic to paypal.
I checked the top 5 producers sites from myflashstore who between them on myflashstore had sold over 2000 tracks
THEIR WEBSITES HAVE ZERO REFERRAL TRAFFIC TO PAYPAL...
THAT IS SHOCKING!
The average time spent on these top selling producers sites range from 3 seconds to just under 2 minutes.
that's not even enough time to hear a whole track!
WOW
The bounce rate is ridiculous, so all this stuff you are learning about building a website will not achieve much.
You have the tools to check out what i'm saying, I speak the truth, nothing more nothing less.
When you check soundclick and myflashstore etc go to the referral tab you will see paypal there.
THAT TELLS ME THESE SITES ARE MAKING MONEY.
Look, I know this might be hard to swallow and I know for sure know one else is talking about this.
I don't know the reasons why, but what I do know is that if I can help to stop people from wasting time
and energy learning about something you really don't need to know about, you might just start to
look the other way and concentrate your efforts where the real action is!
I swear the due diligence I just did to discover this took me around 10 mins to see what is working and what isn't.
I think it's time for you all to do the same!
Go check out similarweb.com with your list of producer sites vs beat selling stores. the winner is clear by a mile.
RAPPERS BY BEATS FROM THE BIG BOY STORES. SO CONCENTRATE YOUR EFFORTS THERE.
p.s some sales may come from producers sites but these sales are no where near enough to call it a business.
Good luck guys, lets kick 2017 off the right way![Smilie :) :)](/forums/images/smilies/smile.png)
