ok this is more of a rant then me actually asking you people how much you sell your beats for purchasing purposes... could care less
but yeah, so im reading up on a member's blog, and I was checking everything it had to offer, and I ran into one of his blogs saying he doesnt like people selling theyre beats for "25-50" and such cuz its f'n the game up.
Now I don't even sell my beats (as of yet at least), even had my beats up for free without tags on my site for a point but seen how quick they were downloaded and werent even getting plays so I changed that up quick.
On to the point...
I disagree with it f'n up the game. If I were to selling my beats, I'd START low (25-50 for leasing, $100-200 exclusive) and build on my reputation to start raising prices. Simply because, in this time, cheap sells quicker, and as lloyd banks said himself "Out of every 70 rappers, 69 flop!" so many muthafukaz dont even take their profession serious. I look at consumers like this, when someone goes to Best Buy tryna get a new tv, theyll see a super expensive tv from Sony. Then theyll see sum unknown company (lets say "QuanZ") which looks practically the same and much much cheaper. Especially with record labels only branding a certain person who fits "the mode", and the easy ways to get peoples music without paying for it. Everyone knows this industry shi+ aint all profit.
Which one you gone fk wit ? Yeah if you REALLY goin hard and
GOT THE MONEY you gone choose Sony. BUT the avg joe is gonna go with the lower price budget, so he can afford something else, and bam, guess what, you moving your beats out there more and youll get a bigger fan base from credits. (you can also look at this like like ps3 vs 360... without RROD lmao). Then when you get your money up, you can make BETTER stuff and be a direct competition to people that once had you at a disadvantage. (
RANDOM FACT: Did you know OLD NAVY was the first retail store in the world to hit 1 billion in sales?)
yeah... this isnt to offend you Obi, just a disagreement. and id love to hear your POV.
So... what do you sell your beats for?
