The illest beat selling links

[Kane the MOD]

Yo ill members

Drop the link of your beatselling websit of choice below so we can lurk some rappers over here.

I don't start because I don't have enough non-sucking beats.

 

[Iron Keys]

I sell my beats from ILL.

1 play costs 1 hour in Fade's dungeon.

So, depending on how many plays you intend on getting...

Good luck with that business model I guess...

 

[2GooD Productions]

I dont sell beats, nobody wants to buy them.

Should be selling beats for no less than $5000

I think the keyword is marketing. Your beats are dope so you could probably sell some beats imho.

Well, I'll get it started:

SOCIAL MEDIA

Of course, anywhere on social media. Years ago I recommended Twitter, which is now X, which is a disaster, so don't bother.

But in 2023:

• TikTok (it's insane the amount of traffic on there plus their algorithm is very good)
• Facebook (most of the world is on it)
• Threads/Instagram (can't forget the 'gram and the new Threads to go with it)

SELLING WEBSITES

• BeatStars https://www.beatstars.com
• AirBit https://airbit.com
• TrakTrain https://traktrain.com
• Soundee https://soundee.com

Thank you @Fade

My idea was actually that everyone put the links to their personal profiles so everyone can check it out. Generating some traffic or sending rappers that way.

Okay I try to reanimate the thread again:

Thanks to @Fade I just signed up again on beatstars.com. I deleted my account after they were hacked years ago.

Look how garbage this all is.
All these beats sound the same and aren't very good.

 

[Iron Keys]

Still don't get any better...

But I'm glad to see there are beats up their for bigger coin. I wonder how many (if any get bought?)

Seeing as they get listed I might chuck a few up for a few thousand.

Is your point we should not aim to sell beats because the beats on Beatstars are trash?

You know the majority on the songs on Spotify I don't rock with but still find good music on there...

Nah. That's not my point.

How much do you think a beat is worth?

 

[Kane the MOD]

Nah. That's not my point.

How much do you think a beat is worth?

Which beat? From whom?

From 0 to many thousand bucks.

 

[Iron Keys]

That really can't be too true tho.

How much should a beat that is ready for commercial use cost? Minimum

There is no minimum wage for beatmakers. Also, the majority of artists are not making money with music as a product.
If you work with a smaller artist, even if you split the revenue 50/50 of a track, which would be really good for the producer, it is very likely that the cut is 50 % of a few Dollars.

 

[Fade]

Years ago I said at least $50 for non-exclusive and at least $500 for exclusive.

Times change and I believe it should be higher today, but it just depends on the beat and what you think you're worth, plus what the market is like. Some might charge $5000 but that's probably more for those with connections. I think the majority of sales come through marketing and networking, not so much on the beat selling websites.

The main issue with the beat selling sites is it's been over-saturated for a long time now. Once everyone saw they could sell beats, a bunch of kids in their rooms started pumping out generic beats with Garageband and FL Studio. (No disrespect to Garageband and FL Studio.)

Twitter was a great place for networking like that, but now that site is in the trash.

 

[V.J. Retro]

There's a new website called Inadot that's joining the game. I might just be selling sample packs and maybe only exclusive music.

So reason I ask is cause of this.

Any kind of professional selling of beats/music, I've known 5k to be the going rate.

I'm glad to see you know a out 50 50 splits.

Personally if I was selling a beat for cheap I would go with the sell price AND 50 50.

I think in some places you're not supposed to be able to sell your copyright like that. But yeah.

I see where your perspective is coming from.

But a lot of people make music as a hobby (like me) and there is usually not much budget to pay 5k for a beat.

I get that 5 grand for a beat from you is reasonable. It wouldn't be reasonable for my beats.
