BeatStars is a platform that allows beat producers to sell their beats exclusively and non-exclusively to artists. Sounds awesome, right? BUT, how does one ensure that their beats sell? There are no Dos and Donts here, but there are definitely some things that every beat producer should make sure that they have got covered.
1. Have a Profile Photo
No one likes a blank space in place of the artist’s photo! Having a profile picture makes your profile seem legit to the buyers. Accounts with profile photos have a higher chance of attracting buyers to them as compared to accounts that don’t have any photos. So, make sure you get your photo up there!
2. Do a Little Thing Called Self-Promotion
This is something that every beat producer would agree to. You might not instantly start selling your beats, but what you could do is promote your beats within your circles, asking them to promote it further. This will ensure traffic on your page which will help boost your social metrics, increasing your chances of getting recognized by a potential buyer.
3. Build Your Network
Building your network sounds like an easy task to do, but it can also be a tricky one. The trick is to follow fellow producers from your genre and interacting with their content. This creates an opportunity for their audience to interact with your beats.
4. Numbers Do Matter
Who do you think has a better chance of being approached by an artist? Your numbers speak for yourself.
Working on your social metrics is extremely important. Of course, numbers don’t determine how good a beat or an artist is, but these numbers do determine the probability of the artist being recognized by a potential buyer. To increase your social metrics and the traffic on your page, go back and read the first three points!
