Dollar Deal Beat Selling Opinion

There are countless discussions about the pricing of your beats for a dollar.

The truth is that there is absolutely no problem selling ANYTHING for a dollar.

The key is to understand and embrace customers that are more inclined to spend that amount rather than any other price.

You can sell beats for $1, $5, $25, $100 up to $1000.

There are many products in our global markets that are priced for $1...in fact, one of the worlds largest company happens to distribute/sell 99 cent songs.

$1 or $1000 still adds to your bottom line as a business. 

Don’t squirm when you see dollar-priced beats. Simply embrace it and even consider how it can expand your beat business.

 

To your success,

How To Make A Solid Income Selling Beats Online!

Dear MFS blog readers, it's been a while since I've posted here & there's a good reason for that (more about that later). I decided to get back & let you guys know about some great techniques & steps to make, so you can get a pretty solid monthly income selling beats online! Let's get right to it.

As I said, I've been away for a good reason. Well, the reason is that I've been working on some pretty crazy stuff lately, real big stuff, that's also the reason why I stopped selling beats on my website. But something weird happened. Let me tell you this short story:

So I got in touch with some great industry personalities, songwriters, managers, A&R's. My job as the producer was to make a bunch of songs. Not a big deal for me, since I'm a bit experienced already. 1 Song (fully produced & written) takes about 1 day of work. As you can imagine, after I made a bunch of songs I had a lot (really a lot) of free time.

What did I do in that free time? Partying, drinking, smoking? Those who know me, know that that's not my thing. Of course I started a few more projects to make EVEN MORE money...that's my mentality, can't change it...haha. Anyways. Something crazy happened. As I was trying to make some money some funny ads pop'd up. Of course I closed them, because I hate ads, just like anybody else. But I had that banner in mind all day long, because it said I can make $463,46 (or so) online, all on auto-pilot. Ok, so I had to google that, it sounded too promising to me.

As you can image, I kept digging & tried to get more & more information about making money online by not working at all (meaning all on auto-pilot). So I bought many courses, software & ebooks...just because I was really curious about this whole thing. I can't tell you how many hundreds of $$$ I spend within a few days, haha, but I don't regret it to be honest.

Before I tell you the simple method, I'd like to warn you: You will never make money by 100% No Work. There is always a little bit of work you have to do, but once you're done, you're on auto-pilot & you can watch the money come in. Simple, but it takes a little effort! Ok, let's start:

 

  1. Beat Catalog - The very first thing you need is a catalog of beats. I'd suggest about 50 or so. Very important: upload new beats regularly! I always noticed, in the weeks that I didn't upload any beats to my website, I kept having less & less sales. So keep that in mind. Big question: How can I make so many beats in so short time? I know it's a lot of work to make 10 new beats every week, but let me tell you a little secret. I'm pretty sure you guys heard about DubTurbo. I know, I know...it's for amateurs. But guess what: Rappers & Singers who lease beats online LOVE DubTurbo beats. Why? Don't ask me, I have no idea! I guess it's the simplicity that attracts them, but you will have guaranteed rapper-friendly beats, when you use DubTurbo. I wouldn't use it for industry artists, but it's cool for the young kids, who buy beats online! If you want to check out DubTurbo click here.
  2. Website - I know many of you guys hate this part, but you really need a GOOD website to sell beats online. Yes, a website - not a SoundClick page. I know that some of the myFlashStore top sellers sell their beats on SoundClick - yes, but they have something that you don't have - A HUGE FANBASE. But trust me, you can make way more money than that by having your own website. Everyday more rappers leave SoundClick & buy their beats from websites they find on Google! If you don't know how to design or code a website, hit me up & I'll help you. Since you're part of myFlashStore, I'll give you a very affordable offer. I've coded about 50 websites so far, I can have yours done in 2-3 hours. My contact information is at the very on of this post! Let's move on...
  3. Traffic - What's a good website without traffic, right? I have to admit, that this is a big pain if you have no idea about it. But nowadays it's easy - we all have the web & we can use it for research. I'd suggest you check out Underground Traffic Secrets. It's basically a very cheap way to learn how to drive a lot of traffic to your website & start earning money!
  4. Keep your website updated - Ok, this is the last step & probably the most important one. Why? Well, your visitors LOVE to see that you still care about your website & about the products that you offer. They appreciate the seriosity. Just like you - when you buy a bottle of Coke, i'm sure you don't want it to be a few years old & with dust on it, right?

That's it basically. Let's make it clear - you won't make $300 Million dollars every day using this technique, but you'll have a solid & regular income by exactly following the steps. I'll post a lot more in the future, because I learned so many techniques & tricks that can be done on the internet - you can't even imagine how huge the internet marketing is right now, but I'll reveal some of the knowledge every time I post on here.

I hope you enjoyed the article - if you did - please, please, please: Share it on Facebook & Twitter by simply using the buttons that are provided by myFlashStore - it's just 2 clicks literarily. THANKS!

Youtube Do's & Dont's For More Traffic

Here's Few Quick Tips On How To Make Youtube Work For You.

 

1. Do Beatmaking Videos, But Make Sure Not To Have The Video Dragging On Forever. 5-8 Minutes Max Is Good Try To Keep It To A Weekly Basis.

 

2. Capitalize Off Major Events. Rappers/Singers Death. Some Major Event In THe News etc. Whatever It When You Name Your Beat/Youtube VideoInclude The Major Event or Spinoff For More Hits and/or Views.

 

3. When Putting In Annotations and Subtitles, Dont Place Them Directly In The Middle Of The Video (As To Be A MAJOR Distraction) and Don't Put A Million Different Ones In The Video.

 

4. ALWAYS Leave Contact Info In The Description Box. I Can't Stress That Enough.

 

5. Post A Lot Of Video Responses To Videos That Are Relative To Your Beat, or Videos.

 

6. If You Use Transitions, Use Your Own Beats In Them To Give Viewers/Potential Customers A Good Feel For Your Music.

 

7. Make Sure During The Video Have A Message Saying Something Along The Lines of "If Interested In This Beat, Get It Here: bestbeatbro.com" etc. and At The Bottom Of The Video

 

When I Did Videos In The Past, These Are The Techniques I Used. I May Get Back Into Doing Videos To Give You Guys A Feel Of What I Mean.

Building One Way Links To Your Music Site

SEO Tips

You're an online beat maker, therefore you have a site where you showcase your product for consumers to buy.  Whether it be soundclick, myflashstore or your own personal web page--optimizing it for search engines is the key to getting more traffic and more traffic equals more sells.  Assuming that you already have the "On Page" optimization looking good with information and keywords describing your site in no less than 250 words, that's just the tip of the SEO iceberg.  Off page search engine optimization is the bread and butter to getting your page ranked high and overflowing with traffic.  Things such as Forum marketing, article marketing, blogging etc, they're all forms of one way links and that's the most important factor to your site's success.

What Is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization is just a fancy word for popularity contest.  The more people that recommend you for a certain keyword, the higher your search engine positions will be.  For example, if someone Google the term hip hop beats and you only have 100 sites saying that's what you have but your competition has 5,000 then he will get all your traffic because he's more popular than you.  It's sad but true.  Just think about all the money and prospects you're losing every single day.  However there is no magic formula that will sky rocket you up the search engine listings but there's a formula you can use to speed up the process.

The One Way Link Formula

The formula is simple--have a high quality, well managed, user friendly information rich site and be proactive everywhere you go.  Doing those two things will build up your one way links exponentially.  Webmasters will link to your site because you offer valuable information that will benefit their viewers.  Being proactive everywhere you go means participating in everything that has to do with music and leaving your link along with valuable information that contributes to the site(Forums, Blogs etc).  Webmasters will also place your information from those sites on theirs thus giving you another one way link.  Before you know it, you will have thousands of one way links and your site will get more traffic as a result of better rankings and more traffic means more sells.  You can find out who links to you by just simply Googling your domain name--if you've been proactive all around the internet it'll surprise you how many one way links you already have.
