Learning how to sell hip hop beats online can be tricky as most beat makers already know. The fact of the matter is, everybody wants to become a music producer and yet nobody seems to grasp the concept of how it’s done. The truth of the matter is, to sell hip hop beats online is as simple as discovering how it’s done… That’s that!
 

Soundclick, MySpace and Forums are all great places to promote and sell your beats online, but what are the general concepts you need to understand in order to sell hip hop beats?
 

The first thing I would say is important knowledge would be the different routes at which you can do this. You need to understand concepts such as Word of Mouth or Viral Marketing, SEO Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Email Marketing and so on. You need to understand what it means to be a salesman before you can understand what it means to be a beat salesman, hustling to sell hip hop beats…
 

Viral Marketing is great for selling hip hop beats online because it’s absolutely free to utilize in most cases. Not only that, but it’s the most commonly used method for promoting rap beats on the internet! The basics: get people to spread buzz for you either by holding a contest with some great prizes (beats, perhaps?), giving away free beats or something to that sort… Anything that will get people talking will help sell hip hop beats, even if it’s contraversial. Just remember that you’re always building your brand name, so your main goal is definitely not to offend anybody.
 

SEO Marketing has been on the tip of everyone’s tongue about since the time when the internet first began. It stands for Search Engine Optimization. This is because it’s a way to get free traffic over a long period of time without having to do a tremendous amount of work. The only problem is, there are so many fake “gurus” and wanna bes out there talking about SEO Marketing, sometimes it becomes hard to accomplish. You can sell hip hop beats on a daily basis if you can figure this one out. The best way to use SEO marketing is by utilizing Niche Marketing, which is SEO specific. You can get up in the charts on Google, but honestly it’s harder than getting up in the charts on Soundclick.
 

Affiliate Marketing is where you get other people to promote your site and your products in exchange for a large commission on every sale. It’s very common for an affiliate program to offer 50%-75% of the total commissions for a product’s sale in exchange for promotion. This only works for you as a beat maker if you strategically find a way to implement it onto your site. Beat CD’s are great for affiliate programs which will help sell hip hop beats, and you can always sign up at E-Junkie to upload the CD because E-Junkie has an affiliate program in place for you already.
 

Email Marketing is not even used by many producers on the internet which is odd because it’s the simplest and easiest way to get profit from any website. All you have to do is collect emails as you promote, collecting them from buyers and interested leads. If you can get your email list full of rappers, then I guarantee you can make some money off your list. You can give away free tips or beats in exchange for an email address.
