Make Beats Online: The Real Key to Today’s Music Business Riches
There are a growing number of producers who have learned to make beats online and sell them online for a profit. Even if you do not actually make beats online, you can still sell them online and make a comfortable living. There are several reasons music producers can make a killing selling beats online. These reasons include:
1. Low overhead
2. Global marketplace
3. 24 hour – 365 day ability to sell beats
4. Other people can sell your beats for you
Let us cover each one of these key factors.
1. Low overhead
Anyone with access to a computer and music equipment can make beats and sell them online. Only a short time ago, in order to make money as a music producer, you had to have expensive equipment dedicated to making music. With the incredible advances technology has made, all anyone needs is a computer with software to make beats, access to the Internet, and the will to succeed. No on has to pay thousands of dollars for music equipment or make demos to be successful.
2. Global marketplace
With the global reach of the Internet and the World Wide Web, you can sell beats to anyone who is interested. If you are a producer in Atlanta, Georgia, you can easily sell beats online to someone in Los Angeles, California, Tokyo, Japan, and London, England all in the same day without leaving your home. There are numerous websites where you can post your beats for sell and make a profit.
3. 24 hour – 365 day ability to sell beats
Again, the Internet is up and running 24 hours a day. It never sleeps and even while YOU sleep, it can and will be still making money. It is like have a salesperson out in the world that makes you money night and day. You can basically set up your music production business to be on automatic pilot so that all you have to do is keep making and uploading beats to sites all over the Web.
4. Other people can sell your beats for you
Yes, you read that correctly. When you harness the power of the Internet, you can have other people selling beats for you online. The people are called affiliates and they bring buyers to you and you sell them beats. They only get paid by performing and you do not have to pay them until you get paid. They get a percentage of what you earn and you get a paying customer. It is a Win-Win situation when done correctly and nobody loses.
Are you a music producer who is having trouble selling beats the traditional way of making demos, submitting them to as many artists as you can and waiting to get results? That way of making music is D-E-A-D. The whole music industry is changing because of technology and those who are not embracing the technology and it’s power will be left behind.
I am familiar with some producers who earn well over $100,000 making their beats available online and selling them to aspiring artists. There is a huge market for beats online because there are more aspiring music artists than there are music producers.
This is called the law of supply and demand. The demand is high for beats in today’s music industry. More and more artists are getting discovered online. Everyone is ready to become the “next big thing”.
Are you going to capitalize on this trend or are you going to watch other producers get paid and wonder how they did it. In a few years these music producers will be filthy rich and people will still wonder how they got that way.
Get started making your beats available online today if you have not already done so. Also you should take a course on Internet marketing to be really successful. The investment you make in yourself will far out weigh the cost of getting a good education on learning how to sell.

How to Sell Beats Online Using a Flash Player
One of the main factors to consider when you begin to sell beats online is how are you actually going to sell the beats and deliver them to your buyer. Yes, there are many websites that offer to play your music and there are also sites that sell your music as well. Most of the time, these sites will ask for a fee to sell your music for you.
There are also programs called Flash players that you can purchase and install on your own website and other websites around the Internet. Some of these Flash players require you to know some programming and some basic knowledge of the HTML programming language may be required.
In my own search to find a good Flash player for my website, I discovered several features I wanted a player to have before I invested my time and money into one.
The first feature I wanted was a way for my website visitors to listen to music. This way, potential buyers could sample the music before they actually bought it. This is the primary purpose of any Flash player.
The second feature a good Flash player should have if you want to sell beats online is a way to process payments. The best way is to process sales directly from the Flash player and not through a third party site. Some players process your payments and send you your money directly through Paypal without going through a third party site.
After the payment is processed, the Flash player then sends the purchased beats to their email address for easy downloading. This saves you time and automates the whole selling process freeing up your time to make more beats.
These are the main features you need to sell beats online with a Flash player. Some other features that I’ve seen include the ability to add discounts to your beats. For instance if you were running a “Buy One, Get One Free” special, the player would actually apply the discount for your customer without you doing any extra work and negotiations. Once again this save you time to make beats.
Another feature I’ve seen on some Flash players is the ability to tag your beats so people do not steal them. When a beat is tagged, there is a distinctive voice or sound that plays along with the track making the beat difficult to steal or copy. You can simply record a vocal tag, upload it to the player and the player does the rest.
Some Flash players are offered in several different player skins that you can customize for your website. Player skins are basically creative designs for your players. There are some player skins that offer step-by-step instructions for your buyers already built into the player skin so you do not have to try to figure out how to get your buyer to take the necessary steps to make a sale.
When you find a Flash player to install on your site, one extra feature you may look for is an online user forum provided by the company where you purchased it. You can network in these online forums and you can get answers to questions you may have in order to make the player work like you expect it to do.
Another extra perk you should be on the look out for is some sort of training to guide you to success. A good Flash player provider has training to help you get the most out of their product. This training will help you to market and sell your beats online and ultimately make you money.
While there are some free players out there in the market, there are also others you must pay for. The payment can be one lump sum or it could be a monthly fee. You should weigh your options between players and find the best one you can afford to get the job done right.
Remember, you want to put selling your beats on autopilot and a great player will help you do this.
One last bonus feature some Flash players offer is an affiliate program where you can also make money referring their player to other people.
If the person you referred signs up with the Flash player because of your special referral link, you get paid a commission.
If you would like to know more about how to sell beats online and how to find a good Flash player, then you can get some great beat website reviews at www.RapBeatCreator.com.
