Noone can tell you what you should sell your beats for. Only you can estimate how much it is worth to you and how much work and creativity you have put into it.

thank you. You always come through for me. I greatly apreciate it. But aside from the pricing, what did you think of the new tracks " Hello" , "Smoove", and "Bop Draft"

I like your beats my dude. I really cant say how much to sell your tracks for because ive personally never sold one. Whenever people come to me asking for tracks they always just want to collab which i dont really have a problem with because i do it for fun in the first place.

My main criticism of Hello and Smoove is make the drums "pop" a bit more. Ive heard from multiple succesfull producers that as long as your drums are crazy and attention grabbing, you can get away with mediocre samples (not saying your chops are bad).

Basically a combination of what they are worth to you and what you can get for them. Really, beyond that, nobody can tell you.

If you want to hustle beats, make money, you have to sell low though. Even if you don't feel that's what it's worth. Just from dealing with local mc's, they may only buy 1-2 beats for their albums, if that. Nobody can afford to invest $800 on an album if they aren't selling. Add CD duplication to that, their own investments, etc, etc, etc, then they will be getting around $3 profit per album if it's around 1000 copies, assuming they sell every one. So keep that in mind when you start to sell.

I've never sold a beat so maybe I shouldn't be saying anything. I'll just tell you how I think it should happen. Much like a professional athlete you'll have to prove yourself. Start off low, even give a few beats away just to get your work on something. I currently have 3 beats that i've GIVEN away and will be on albums soon. The only thing I asked is that my name be mentioned on the track... you've heard it before...how they shout the producer out in some form or fashion. Once people start hearing you, people will want to work with you and then some money should start coming in. It's all about networking.

Nice beats man! You should talk to emcess's and negotiate prices rather then come up with a flat rate
