If you're not learning then you're dying. If you're not planning then you'll die. In this beat business you must always be learning and planning. With the knowledge you acquire, you must now apply it to your activities and to do this effectively you must plan. It is not important to create a big massive business plan at this stage. Simply endulging yourself into an Excel or Google Spreadsheet where you can add various items and numbers is enough to get you started. When you first learn about things you can do such as tracking your beat website performance or the benefits of having a mailing list, you can then start adding items to your Plan Sheet of the things you will do and act upon.

It is human nature to want to get feedback especially in any creative field. However, when you get little to no feedback, that can potentially affect your creative endeavour as no one is telling you if they like it or not. One way to take the initiative in getting feedback (from a business perspective, as your sell beats), is to observe your traffic, clickthru rates as sales figures. This is equally if not more valuable feedback as you can readily improve such things as the layout of your beat website, your campaign strategies as well as linking tactics. A great tool to get started with tracking the progress of your beat website is Google Analytics. It tells you the amount of Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly traffic numbers, incoming/outgoing links, and more. You can also setup "goals" in which you set a path that your Beat Buyers would go through to get them a series of steps to an eventual beat sale or mailing list signup.

When you know that you haven't in any way marketed your beats for the day, instantly stop doing what you're doing and get onto an outlet (Twitter, FaceBook, a forum, YouTube, etc.) and promote your beat website. One thing to keep in mind is that you don't just have to market your beats for sale. You can simply post an excerpt from your blog with a link to the full article linking back to your beat website.
