subject: How To Sell Beats: RocBattle [print this page] If you want to know how to sell beats on RocBattle, the answer is actually very simple. Quite frankly, the website isn't very hard to understand and it's probably a lot easier to sell beats on that site than others because it takes a great deal less work.
Websites like Soundclick are extremely difficult to rank for because the fact of the matter is, you need an enormous amount of plays to do so. I'm talking about getting tens of thousands of plays every single day and not even breaking the top 30, much less the top 10... And the top 3 is where the "legendary" status remains.
If you're looking for an easier method then you might want to go after RocBattle. The website's charts system is based off simple wins/losses. The general idea is: you take on a bunch of producers in beat battles and the winner gets the win point. The loser gets a loss on the record, obviously. The person with the most wins and least losses will get into the top of the charts.
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.
It may sound a little bit gray hat and quite honestly most people will probably tell you that it is. But I don't really care about that because the entire charts system on RocBattle is extremely unfair and I don't think that you should put up with it. All you have to do is get a group of really good producers, including yourself, together and start helping each other out. The best way to do this is to set up a small mailing list on your gmail and manage 10 producers or so. Just notify all 10 people when somebody in that group has posted a new beat. You guys can vote for each other every time and just start taking over the game on RocBattle. Do this in both the free basic members section of the site along with the Exclusive members of the site. Take over both charts, not just one. Why not?
It's true that the RocBattle exclusive membership is about $7 a month so it costs a little bit, but the truth is that if you can pull this off exactly as I've explained it in this article, you're going to profit so much it's insane. The only way this wouldn't be profitable is if all the people in the group had weak beats. I mean, quite honestly your beats should be tight enough to snag some extra votes without these somewhat dishonest methods being taken into action. Like I said, it's not rocket science and RocBattle really isn't that difficult to rank for if you really take the time to think about it.
Soundclick is basically impossible to rank for because it takes so many plays to get into the charts. But the thing about it is, you don't have to get anywhere near the top 10. Soundclick has so much massive traffic that you can generate thousands of visitors even in the low 100's!!
