Break this shit all the way down.
Soundclick has 4 million people...600k bands (the irony...bands).
Now let's look at this.
4 million people (- bands)
100,000 beat makers selling beats out of 600k band members (maybe way less than that.
Producers making $30k = 25 beats a week. 1300 beats a year/producer
Even if 100 producers out of 100k were doing it like that.......that's 130,000 beats sold a year using soundclick alone.
________________________________________________________________
130k beats right? That's a lot of beats. IDK........I might have heard the same beat on 5 songs last year and probably didn't notice.
Now...I do believe it's dudes getting it in on leases and exclusives like that. This Ice Boy dude sells exclusives for $150....says he the highest paid nigga and everybody else is a sucka. The beat ebook dude made $50k a year selling beats...(claimed he made close to $500k in 10 years). Let's say the title for Ice Boy is $50k in a year. He needs to sell 330 beats.
Let's break it down in 4 sections then.
55 people bought 1 beat.
55 people bought 2 beats.
14 people bought 4 beats
5 people bought 10 beats
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Looks crazy don't it? That's how I see sounclick producer's thoughts. Sitting at a computer crying and shit because nobody is biting their promotions. Then get happy as hell with a sell..get the big head.
Dude is selling 6 on a normal week
That's very believable. 6 people that he knows personally who buys a beat and records every week. $150 to a person you trust to make you beats....very believable. Imagine 10 people? 12 people like that? Now we talking.
Now....are these dudes buying beats for five years straight? Hell no....I hope not. I hope they got some mixtapes going.......all six of them. With that said....I would have built a relationship strong enough with those six people to know they releasing something.....and that gives me something to talk about on my blogs, twitter, Facebook.......FUTUREPRODUCERS...ect.
That's why I think a lot of dudes be lying they ass off and need to STFU and show something if they going to talk. This is reality not some pimp shit. If you made 50k in a year and don't have nobody's name to shout out....they ain't shouting you...they ain't got no mixtape released or releasing........why in the hell the first thing I see of you is a video complaining about people lying about the sales they make? In that got damn time I could've heard...."make sure you check out SOandSo's album on itunes........also my homeboy SuchandSuch releasing his mixtape next week.
I might be all the way wrong but that's the type of shit that make dudes look suspect.
