nah they sell you beats with a 20% fee on it. SOundclick is free and they get paid off your membership. Beattrader wants to sell your beats that is who they make their money hot track and a good way to sell beats

It's more difficult than you think to actually sell beats. Sometimes the right people might find your soundclick page an you'll make a sale through that but that requires that you get a lot of heads listening to your stuff (and of course that your bringin it on your end with the beats). Going to shows with your beat cd's are a good way 2 make contacts and possible leads. Either get a cd to the artists performing or to the people in the crowd. Talk to peeps in the crowd an you'll find there will be dozens of people who rhyme a lil on the side. Never know who you'll find if you go out like twice a week just gettin your material into the hands of artists. Someone will eventually come through.

Peace

AMEN BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn it's so hard!

My best years of track selling was 92-97. Satisfying customers was easy. All you needed was some wahs and some basslines.

Presently, I sell to a few small (micro) labels who pay me with Bus, Motel & Food accomodations with just enough left for a couple pairs of Air force 1s. This is a tough business!

Thanks for the link. Though I agree that it is probably better for you to work a crowd locally and build up a buzz so people come to you, plus you're more likely to make sales.
