Great concept. I didn't see the link on your site though, so I'll post here.

1. If I want to sell beats, should I keep doing my style, or try to produce music that is popular/mainstream?
2. How do I find rappers willing to pay a decent amount for my beats? Or is that just not going to happen?
3. I see a lot of producers/beatmakers selling their beats on various sites and in various ways, but who buys them? Is it mainly rappers or some sort of production company? I would assume a company would want producers to go to them, not the other way around.

Is this specifically music production related questions, or anything to do with the music business?
