What about soundclick? That’s the most popular site imo. Also been doing a lot of research on the subject and I think the best thing a producer can do is build his or her own site with their own domain,join all of the beat selling sites, discussion boards,etc. Then use those sites to direct traffic to their own website. Why you ask? Because that way you distance your potential customers from your competition (the other 10 thousand producers selling online) at least by a couple clicks and that could make all the difference. If rappers are browsing your beats on one of those sites, its too easy for them to click a link to another artist. On your site, you don’t want any links to take them to your competition. Only link to your site, not from it. Also if you sell a beat and a talented rapper blesses it nicely, people may ask him/her where they acquired such a banga. They’ll say your website for sure instead of soundclick(or whatever) with the very real possibility of them leaving your name out completely… those mutha*****z!

Any reason for not including Soundclick.com? I’m checking them out for success/failure stories from producers since they get a ton of traffic compared to some of the other sites I’m familiar with.

thx

Thanks you for your post. I’ve sold nearly 100 tracks on thebeattrader. But it’s been down for months and I’m still waiting on payment. And their customer service is horrible too.

Yeah it is possible to sell the same beat on multiple websites, but only “non-exclusive” rights. Exclusive rights can only be sold one time.

Hello, I’m producer also and I just found your article. May question is: is it possible the same beat for sle on all four sites or more?
