Sell Beats Online - Give The People What They Want
By Rich Sample
The most important factor in making big money from making beats is one you might not like. Actually it's one that took me some time to adjust to. That factor is making beats that the ARTIST WANT.
I'm not saying don't make beats you enjoy making, but to make big money with them online you need to make beats artist want. I've always had my own style, but I had to adapt other styles in order to make money.
You have to remember you are running a business. Do businesses sell what the owner wants or what the customer wants?
Break out of that mindset (If you're in it) that you are making beats for "you". If that's the case you don't have to worry about ever making money with them.
I use to frown upon other producers when I would see them making beats saying "Lil Jon type beat", or "Dr. Dre type beat". I always thought it was better to be original if I wanted to make it in the game. That is true, but not if I wanted to make lots of cake selling beats online.
The secret is making simple beats that are hot
"right now". I remember when Lil Jon held the airwaves hostage. Every body wanted a beat by lil Jon. So what the smart producers did was swallow their pride and make a bunch of Lil Jon knockoffs. We made a killing.
See most net producers were talking down to us. Saying things like "Oh you need to be original", and "You're not going to make it in the game copying other producers".
If they only knew we were laughing all the way to the bank. While they were "Shopping" their original beats praying for a placement, we were making thousands per week just leasing these beats. The best part is these beats took 10 minutes to make at most.
I'd just take an 808 kick, 808 clap, whistle, and a trance synth then make a quick banger. Honestly the beats weren't that good in my opinion, but they had bounce. Most of all the up and coming rappers wanted them.
Don't get me wrong I leased some of my original beats over and over and make some good money, but the majority of the money came from the knock offs.
What you need to do is turn on your radio, switch your channel to BET, and find out what is hot right now. Find out the type of beats that are popular right now.
If you hate commercial music and think its "Stupid", that's your personal opinion. The cold hard truth is you won't make much money that way. There just isn't a market for those types of beats. You just have to deal with it if you want to sell beats online.
