Learning how to sell beats online doesn't have to be an extremely hard task. You can do it easily especially if you set up the right foundations for your website. For instance, Soundclick has a free mailing list form which you can use on your site, though many people forget to do this. Gathering emails is one of the best ways to grow your business and reach more potential clients interested in buying rap beats.
Producers definitely don't take email marketing seriously enough for the most part. Many beat makers don't even have an opt in form on their website, which is stupid because Soundclick has a free mailing list form available to even non VIP members.
Gathering the right emails is key. If you're getting a bunch of non targeted emails onto your list, then you're wasting your time and the time of those people. The best emails to grab are those of clients who have just bought something from you for the first time. If you can get nothing but customers on your list, DO IT. You will see huge amounts of success if you play it right.
The best part is, a lot of those people on my mailing list choose to buy beats from me again and again! It's not uncommon for me to send out an exclusive discount to my mailing list or an exclusive deal. They love being let in on good promotions especially if it's only accessible to list members.
Giving away free beats is a common tactic used to get people to add their name to your list, but honestly I don't feel like this is quite good enough. The fact of the matter is, most of the people who join are only interested in free beats... Meaning they're not trying to buy. I haven't seen much success giving away freebies, though it definitely does make your conversions fly through the roof. I was getting 20 emails a day by giving away free beats, but none of them really bought a lot down the line.
Just remember that having a mailing list with 1,000 buyers is much better than having a mailing list with 100,000 guys wanting freebies.
