subject: How To Sell Beats On Rocbattle [print this page] Learning how to sell beats on RocBattle isn't a very hard website to understand, so you don't have to take any time thinking about it. All you have to do is know how it works and just take over the system completely, and in this article I'm going to teach you how to sell beats online easily even if you're a complete newbie.
Soundclick is extremely hard to rank in the charts. You have to get an extraordinary amount of plays if you expect to be breaking the top 10, because even at tens of thousands of plays per day you're not going to break the top of the charts.
RocBattle is a lot simpler to utilize as a promotional tool because the charts are based on a much simpler, much smaller technology... Whoever gets the most wins and the least losses per month will rise in the charts. The top 10 winners of that month are listed on the front page, and they stay there as long as they stay there! You can use this same website to completely catch the competition blind sighted.
Only one thing can come of this kind of situation that RocBattle has created... People are going to basically get a bunch of friends together, vote for each others battles constantly and rise in the charts because of this. This means that it's whoever has the biggest click, not whoever has the best beat. The charts system is not fair, so I suggest you stoop down to their level and do the exact same thing, but more efficiently and with less time lost.
You can take over the website in a kind of bad way, and its considered gray-hat (I'd say), but it's awesome and I think it isn't hurting anybody's experience. All you have to do is get a click full of friends together, and literally 10 people will do just fine. Create and manage these 10 guys, so everybody votes on each others new beat battles, EVERY SINGLE time. The easiest way to do this is to set up a small mailing list for all the people in the group to communicate to the whole group through. It's easy to do, simple to implement and if you do it, you'll be getting some seriously good charts rankings. You can compete in the basic charts easily using this method because nobody even has to pay, so its a win win win situation.
RocBattle's exclusive membership costs $7 a month right now, and it might go up sometime in the future... Does that sound expensive? If you could get into a group of 5-10 people and you guys could all start seriously dominating for just $7 a month each, wouldn't that be worth it? I mean, one beat sale will definitely cover the cost, and in all likelihood you're probably going to make more. The only way this won't work is if you and the other producers in the team are really bad producers... Remember not to promote yourself until you feel confident with your beats' sell-ability.
Soundclick is very hard to take over, but using these simple methods it's easy to learn how to sell beats using RocBattle. You can use Soundclick too, though, because though you probably won't crack the top 10 you'll definitely be able to get thousands of plays, even by cracking the top 100!!!
