Learning how to sell beats online doesn't have to be an extremely hard task. You can do it easily especially if you set up the right foundations for your website. For instance, Soundclick has a free mailing list form which you can use on your site, though many people forget to do this. Gathering emails is one of the best ways to grow your business and reach more potential clients interested in buying rap beats.
Email marketing is definitely far too underestimated in this business... Producer's all around the world hardly even try to promote their mailing list, much less make good use of it's capability to make money.
It's not about how many emails you got or how big your list is, it's simply about just how targeted you can get. I love grabbing emails from new clients because I find that they're extremely likely to buy, buy and buy again. If you have a small list of 1,000 people but all of them have bought from you in the past, it's very possible that you can make $100-$200 PER beat you post within the first few days of it being posts.
The best part is, a lot of those people on my mailing list choose to buy beats from me again and again! It's not uncommon for me to send out an exclusive discount to my mailing list or an exclusive deal. They love being let in on good promotions especially if it's only accessible to list members.
Giving away free beats is a common tactic used to get people to add their name to your list, but honestly I don't feel like this is quite good enough. The fact of the matter is, most of the people who join are only interested in free beats... Meaning they're not trying to buy. I haven't seen much success giving away freebies, though it definitely does make your conversions fly through the roof. I was getting 20 emails a day by giving away free beats, but none of them really bought a lot down the line.
Don't forget that an email list with 100 buyers is much better than an email list with 1,000 mooches.
