Hi, My name is Chris Bala, and I have been selling beats online for almost a year now, making a steady income each month from my beat page on Soundclick.com. Soundclick.com is a great site to sell your beats on. Many producers make good profit each month from selling on soundclick. I can personally vouche for this as I myself make a steady income selling beats on the site each month. So if you want to get into the beat-selling game, I suggest you get yourself a VIP page on soundclick.com. But before you join and start uploading your beats, you should be aware of some fundamentals of selling on that site.
Pricing Your Beats
When you join any 3rd party beat site, you should be sure to know the average going rates for beats. The average price on soundclick for leasing beats is $24.99. Average for exclusives is $250-$400. So you can use these as guidelines for pricing your beats. Remember, you don't want to make the mistake of over-pricing or under-pricing your catalog of beats.
Updating Your Catalog
Many producers upload about 2 new beats a week on soundclick. This is a no no. Why? Because the visitors that come to soundclick see this, and they will realize that your product is not being updated quick enough, therefore, they will stop coming to your page. If you want people to keep coming back to your page, you need to keep the product (Beats) coming consistently. So a good thing to do is upload atleast 2-3 new beats every other day. This is a good pace to keep for updating your catalog.
Charts Position
Being up in the soundclick charts is key to making profit on the site. In order to stay up in the beat charts, you must have you soundclick player everywhere- on your myspace, forums, emails, twitter, etc. The more plays you get, the higher you will bounce in the charts. Alot of producers think there is a way to cheat the system, but the only true way to getting on the charts is by getting your songs played and downloaded. So make sure you have your player everywhere and that you encourage your visitors to download your beats from your soundclick page.
So that's that. You should definitely consider these guidelines before starting your run on soundclick. If you would like more marketing tips on selling your beats online, you can see my page - sellbeatsbetter.com
