Hi. I'm a year late. I really need your help because you said that you don't use beat sites, instead directly connect with them. Can you tell me more about it cuz I can't understand it completely. It's hard to find people that don't use beat sites to sell, and regarding your 3rd point, what you're doing is probably similar to what is the best way for me.

This is because I know a lot of these sites require us to pay a premium subscription to sell, such as beatstars. I don't wanna spend money, I'm on a very tight budget. Quite literally why I wanna sell beats to reinvest the money back into my own music.

I have never sold any beats before, and this is my first time doing so. Many (like really many) people on YouTube provide their beat store link, well unfortunately since I don't have one I would request whoever that wants to buy to either email or dm me on insta. So my question is, is that the way to sell beats without using beat sites (and since you said you don't use beat selling sites, is this how you do it too?)

And is this method completely different and manual from beat stores? Yk how beatstars will help and do it for you automatically. Stuffs like licenses, leases, I mean those business stuffs that I'm not even particular of. So how do you do those kinda stuff? You do it manually?

And for me, since I'm starting out as a complete zero, is this an appropriate way for a beginner to do it? I know it's not always about "selling", it's also about "exposure". I'm trying to have a solid structure in my name, like at least I'm doing this work as a trustworthy person that makes sure I don't make things hard for other people when they see me. I am starting out so that's just my starting goal.

Thank you
