How To Make It Selling Beats For Sale And Instrumental Beats

By Delroy Wilkins


For aspiring hip hop artists everywhere, any piece of advice on how to make it as a big star is more than welcome. However, it is not as easy as playing one song and getting positive critical approval. Any current hip hop artist that you admire currently has worked quite hard to get to where he/she is.

The first step is to gauge your love and determination for hip hop. Ask yourself: do you see yourself making a career out of it? Or do you simply see it as a hobby with which you can spend your leisure time in? You can establish your level of determination by looking at how frequently you practice your rapping skills. Do you practice every day or just when you feel like doing so? If your answer is the latter, then you still lack the passion to make a career out of hip hop.

The first practice is to study out the current market and its trends. How are musicians making their music? What kind of tools do they have? Do they create their own music or does someone do it for them? Is there anything new that you need to learn? Due to the ever changing world of music, you constantly have to keep abreast of modern techniques that are being used and new ways of doing things. If you choose to rely on what you know, you will find that things will pass you by and you will hold no appeal to your budding fan base.

The second practice is to create, and this refers to creating sounds that are completely unique and fresh. You can do this by sampling beats and instrumentals from other beat makers. You can also use different software to come up with sounds of your own. You can even hit off something very random and be surprised to find that you've created a unique sound.

Thirdly, you will need a proper marketing strategy. It would be pointless to create beautiful beats that you cannot sell. However, if you find that none of these works for you, then you may want to simply try purchasing ready made beats.

There are affordable beats that can be found on websites that bring both buyers and sellers together. Most of the sellers will allow you to sample the beats before you actually purchase them. It is important for you to know that some sellers will relinquish all rights of ownership of the beats to you, while others will want to retain them.
