Almost every producer wants to sell beats to hip hop artists who can take them to the next level. On that same note, tons of hip hop artists look to producers for the same thing. Music professionals need to sell music in order to survive the music business.
How do you sell beats?
This question seems to come up frequently enough to receive an updated response. I'll do my best Give you a simple answer. First of all, you need to understand that the selling is based on the number of people you talk to about your beats and mixtapes.
Every sale begins with a person saying something to another and, as beat sellers, that person should be you. I shake my head at producers who make beats but never tell anyone about them. And I laugh at producers who want to make money with their beats, but give them away for free. The music industry doesn't bring success to antisocial people, and giving away beats for nothing in return is comedic. After all, how can a producer sell a product once it's be given away?
Selling beats is simple.
Ask 200 artists, per day, if they're working on anything new. Do this 5 days out of the week, as if it where your job to sell beats. Most people will say, "Yes" which at that time you should try to gather more information about the music they like. The ones that say no should be passed up, without hesitation, because they're not doing anything. The whole point is to sell to active musicians, not the inactive ones. Once you know more about the music they like, and why they like it, you can pick a track(s) from your beat library and link it to them. After you send a link to the artists, ask for feedback.The ones that like your beat(s) will purchase them from you.
Talking to 200 artists 5 days per week means that you're asking 4000 people per month to consider writing to your beats. Ask yourself this...
How many beats would you sell if 1000 active artist heard them?
