How to Make $10K a Month Selling Rap Beats and Lyrics

As the economy continues to tank and the music industry continues to get hit by illegal downloads on a daily basis, it has gotten harder and harder for recording artists and music producers to sell their music.

As a result of this, recording artists are getting signed but never completing projects and music producers that specialize in rap beats, r&b beats and hip hop beats are seeing their production fees cut by almost 75%.

Also as social media sites like MySpace help recording artists and music producers build their “so called” fan base, many independent artists hardly ever sell and downloads.

So how can recording artists and music producer circumvent this market shift?

Music Producers:

Music producers that specialize in hip hop beats, rap beats and r&b beats can turn their catalog into a money making machine. This can be achieved by going to sites like eSession and OurStage to open up an account.

eSession is a good place for recording artists and music producers to connect in order to collaborate on upcoming projects. The site also lets you bid on upcoming and existing projects.

OurStage is site that offers music producers a place to connect with industry players, get studio and production gigs, build a die hard list of fans that want buy your music and free EPK.

Recording Artists:

Recording artists that specialize in voiceovers, background vocals, studio vocals and writing lyrics can turn their craft into a money making machine in no time flat.

Voices123 offers a huge database of radio stations, multimedia companies and independent production specialists that are looking for people with the right voice for their project. Many of these projects pay $100 to $10,000 and often have royalty benefits attached.

OurStage is a site that offers free membership and a chance for recording artists to gig with some of the biggest names in the industry and also a chance to win $5000.

TuneCore is another good site that helps independent recording artists distributes their music just like major record labels. TuneCore is free to join, $0.99 per track, $0.99 per store per album, and $19.98 per album per year storage and maintenance.

I came across (3) websites that can you get your music in front of millions of crazy fans that's ready to buy your music.

A&R HookUp.com

The first website is A&R HookUp.com and they guarantee that your music will be heard by A&R's from major record label like Def Jam, Koch, Shady, Atlantic, Jive and more.

How Does It Work?

Each A&R Live Hookup includes one industry guest (typically a major label A&R Director or A&R Manager), moderator-music consultant and 8-12 attendees logged into the A&R HookUp website playlist from around the world.

The format of the session includes an attendee and industry executive get-to-know-you session, question and answer, and record company A&R demo review and live feedback session. During A&R Live Hookup demo review session A&R HookUp's industry guest will listen to your music through their website playlist and give you live feedback on the spot by phone.

If the industry guest likes your music they will request it from you personally and instruct A&R HookUp to provide you with their direct contact info to work your situation to the next level.

OurStage.com

The next website is OurStage.com and they have partnered with NimBit, Unsigned The Magazine, Virgin Festival, BackStage and WagTail Productions just to name a few.

How Does It Work?

OurStage was created for indie musicians so they can get exposure to a wider audience base. Artists are encouraged to rate each other which results in the best artists being placed in the "Best Of" category.

The highest rated artists usually end up winning cash, prizes and media exposure or get selected to go on tour or do major gigs.

TuneCore.com

The next website is called TuneCore.com and they specialize in getting independent music
accepted on iTunes.

The good thing about TuneCore is that they allow the artists to collect and keep every penny of their royalties.

How To Sell Rap Beats Online

Many music producers struggle to get there beats reviewed by major record labels and recording artists, however, as the internet becomes increasingly popular many amateur music producers have turned to selling their beats online and are making thousands.

If you want to sell you rap beats online and become a success you must follow a few simple rules.

Learn How To Play An Instrument

Despite what the majority of most music producers think and have heard from their peers, many of them have no clue how to structure a rap beat, r&b beats or hip hop beat. This is because many of them do not understand basic music theory and timing.

In order to overcome this problem, music producers that specialize in rap beats, r&b beats or hip hop beats must learn to play at least one instrument. By learning how to play an instrument you will understand key and chord structure as well as timing.

Most music producers that sell their rap beats online have no clue that most of their tracks are out tune, out of key and pitched wrong. This is because they do not have the understanding of at least one live instrument. Here is good website I recommend that can help you play the piano.

Only Lease Your Hottest Beats

That’s right… if you want to create a viral buzz on the Internet, I would suggest you sell your hottest beats. Contrary to what many music producers might think, this tactic will help you be seen as one of the best beat makers online and will most likely get the attention of a major record label or artists.

Start With A Catalog Of 100-200 Rap Beats

That's right...only give them heat!

Build a website that offers 100-200 pieces of your hottest work and sell them and get paid by using PayPal.

Secure Your Downloads Or You Will Get Ripped Off

As many of you know, there are thieves lurking at every corner of the Internet looking to steal your rap beats. A good way to bypass this issue is to use a secure download site like TradeBit.com or E-Junkie.com. These companies offer cheap hosting services for your digital products and integrate well with PayPal.

Also make sure you get your beats copyrighted before you let anyone hear or download them.

Price Your Beats So That They Are Competitive

Make sure you do your research before you attempt to sell your first rap beat online. Go to every major search engine and look at the first (5) pages of sites. This can be done by using the keywords (rap beats for sale, beats for sale, rap beats, hip hop beats, and hip hop beats for sale).

Most of these sites will be your competitors. Figure out a good pricing structure for your rap beats based what your competition is selling their beats for.

Also figure out how to make your marketing plan better than theirs. A few websites that have perfected selling their beats online is Beats365.com and Beats2Rap2.com.

Develop Your Reputation As A Beat Maker

A good way to develop your reputation as beat maker is to work with as many local artists as you can. This will help you build your catalog of work to display on your website, blog and MySpace page.
