Here is a quick guide by Allrounda on how to sell your beats online! 💰
Selling Beats online has become popular over the years and nowadays almost all music producers and beatmakers have already put out their music for sale or licensing. However, amongst all the different marketplaces, platforms and beat-stores, it may be hard to figure out what’s the best solution for you and your music. I have been selling beats online since 2009 and been on almost every big website, making more than 200 million plays and selling over 18000 licenses to rappers, singers & companies worldwide. Therefore I gained deep understanding and knowledge through the longterm experience of being an online music producer and running my own website and company. To help you out and give you some valuable tipps, I wanted to share this information with you to shine some light on the beat-selling game and make it easier for producers to get sales and make a living off of selling beats online! Now let’s start with the individual platforms and beat-store websites that are available 🙌🏼
Airbit (formerly MyFlashStore) is the oldest provider of instant delivery beat-store systems. It has gained a lot of users back in the days on soundclick and other HTML based websites and profiles where producers could implement their store widgets/players via CSS and HTML and for the first time, have a fully automated store system that instantly sends out the beat files and licenses to the buyer after payment. Of course, in the meantime, things have changed a lot in the online world and Airbit has grown to a full marketplace with its’ own chart system and offers a varitey of additional options. Click HERE to join Airbit as a producer and take advantage of their great beat-store experience and handy tools to sell your beats and music.

⛔️ Not many Buyers on their Marketplace

Beatstars is no doubt the biggest beat-selling platform out there with over 5 million visitors monthly (due to SimilarWeb) and hundreds of thousands of users. Most beat producers got their beats on their platform and make a good income selling beats on their website. Beatstars offers a browsable marketplace, charts system, customizable store widgets that you can implement on your website, a full website integration (Pro-Page) and a marketplace section for buying and selling soundkits like Drum Kits and more. On my opinion, it’s a good thing to post your beats there as it increases chances of your beats getting new sales and their uploading process and store system is very solid. Just the overall platform does have some bugs and errors here and there, while the user experience on Airbit is better.
