Affiliate marketing has been far more lucrative for me. I kinda use my beats as a lead generation tool. Then I promote products, tools and course to help solve the problems of the audience that I have cultivated.
The Beat Player is a great file storage and contract delivery tool, but it has major conversion issues.
A wall of beats is completely overwhelming for any audience. Selling beats individually has always been ups and downs with me.
I have some success selling beat packs and using the beat player as a cheap check out processor and file delivery service. I am no means a chart-topper on Airbit? Selling beat tapes on Airbit doesn’t register as individual beat sales. But it’s easier to sell 1 product with one price than having 160 different products and 4 different pricing tiers and 4 different lease licenses. [No wonder rappers don’t buy beats]
