You can learn how to sell more beats by enrolling in course on SellMoreBeats.com put together by Allen Brown, or Fat Fingers as some of you may know him by.

SellMoreBeats.com was made primarily to teach producers how to sell more beats, but on the whole it teaches much more than that. It teaches how to market on the Internet - in other words, what you learn from this course can be slightly adjusted and applied to other things you can do to make money online.

What it teaches you so you can sell more beats online is:

  • How to set up a website, with an auto-responder. (An auto-responder allows you to collect email addresses of customers/potential customers.)
  • How to set up a squeeze page and build a massive mailing list. (It goes in conjunction with the auto-responder.)
  • Where exactly you can find customers to buy your beats.
  • Additional sales tactics to increase your beat sales further.
  • How to promote your website on forums.
  • How to get feedback on your website before you officially launch.
  • How to use major websites to build prospects.
  • How to find other producers to JV (Joint Venture) with.

That is just a quick overview of what you can learn from this course. There are over 50 videos detailing step-by-step instructions on how to go about increasing your beat sales, for me to list them all here it would take ages.

Trust me, the content you get access to is top quality. I personally think Allen could have charged more for this, but I know why he priced it at $47, to make it affordable for everyone. Sure, it may seem a little pricey for a digital product, but these videos you can watch over and over again, as many times as you want, and what you learn from this you can earn a lot from. You won’t earn anything unless you take action with what you have learned.

The only thing I would really criticize is Allen’s first landing page for SellMoreBeats.com. What is wrong with it is he has Google Adsense ads on the page! Allen should know as well as I do, the whole point in a landing page is to collect the email address of the visitor, having the ads there distracts them, and if they click an ad they won’t come back to your site, you have lost them all for a few cents, if they signed up to your list you can market products (beats) to them and earn a lot more from them than you did from Google for them clicking your ad. (There’s a tip for you, if you enroll in the course and build your own landing page.)
Another thing which Allen could improve on his landing page is listing more benefits to visitors, he lists a few but I feel he could list more.

So, to finish up this write up I will say…

Allen really knows what he is talking about with this, he has been marketing online for a number of years and has been able to earn a 6 figure income from what he knows. He also owns a few beats/music sites; such as RocBattle.com, RocBeats.com, Vote4Beats.com and UrbanMillionaires.com.

I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t enrolled in this course, as I’m not a producer or interested in selling beats, and I believe from the descriptions and video titles, the internet marketing side of stuff is what I already know, but I have been properly researching internet marketing for 6 months to a year.

Most of you will learn a lot from this course, but again you won’t earn anything if you do not put what you learn into practice.

All in all, this is a great course to enroll in, if you are looking to learn how to sell more beats, and get started in learning internet marketing.

You can read testimonials on RocBattle.com forums, just search for “sellmorebeats” or “sell more beats”, and on the second landing page of SellMoreBeats.com.

Here is an inspirational thread on RocBattle.com - $14,787 in Beat Sales!!!!!!!
Here is one testimonial thread on RocBattle.com - Fat’s sellmorebeats really opened my eyes, man.

Perhaps some time in the near future I will enroll in the course, and update this write-up.

Some of you are probably thinking, how can he give this write-up without enrolling, well Allen allows me to view a list and description of the videos, he also gives away a few free videos, which were great quality and provided great info, and I’m sure he would keep the same high quality throughout the paid course. That brings me to another thing, if you sign up to his list, you get access to a 40 minute training video.

There are a couple of videos where Allen recommends domain registrars and hosts. I would recommend NameCheap.com to register your domain with, you can get coupon codes from RetailMeNot.com, and you can contact me to host your site for free, PM me on CrazyPellas.net.

Allen will be raising the price of the course to $97 soon, so get in now while it is only $47.

Feel free to leave any feedback, comments or testimonials if you are already enrolled in the course.
 
Cheers,
Crazy Pellas

P.S. If you sign up to sellmorebeats, and have any questions feel free to contact me, I will help you as much as possible.

Paqman Tha Kidd

Artist: Paqman The Kidd
From: St. Louis, MO
Age: 17
Birthday: 01/31/1991
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/paqmanthekidd
Musical Inspiration: Tupac Shakur
Thoughts on Hip-Hop: Hip-Hop of course isn’t the same as the 80’s or the 90’s but i dont think it’s all for the bad. Times have changed and so has the music. Hip-Hop has diversified into a lot of different catergories. It offers a chance to anyone with persistence and strong will (with a help of a little promotion).
Current Project: Hell’s Poet (Summer 2008)
Other: Im Currently Constructing A Group Called “Tha T3am”. We Are Looking For Members So Please Contact On Myspace If You Have Any Interest.

Julian K.: Ayo! im kickin it wit Paqman Tha Kidd! Tell the readers a lil bit about yourself?

Paqman Tha Kidd: Well, Im from St. Louis. Right now im just trying to get my music career off the ground. so im pretty much been busy with that
 Julian K.: Iight, Ive known you for a good lil while, and Ive never asked why you started music. So, Why do u start making music?
Paqman Tha Kidd: At a very young age I’ve been associated with music and writing. I think I really just learned to identify myself with it. A couple years back I started producing and began writing about life. I just want to inspire young minds, tell my story of life and hopefully others can vibe to it.
 Julian K.: What do you do best as an artist?
Paqman Tha Kidd: Well..I consider myself a very strong lyricist (coming from a poetic background). I think I do a good job of telling the story of this hard street life, having a wide variety of styles in my lyrics to reach a broad audience.
 Julian K.: What inspires you to write and produce music on a daily?
Paqman Tha Kidd: Music is my life right now. So without music…there would be no me. I have to make music. I feel like I gotta make music. That I’ve been given this gift for a reason. so I gotta try to reach out to people through my music….whethers itz tha hustla on the block, the little boy with no father…..just whatever it is….i feel i have to do it.
 Julian K.: How long have you been making music and when do you really start taking it serious?
Paqman Tha Kidd: Well, I’ve been involved with music my whole life. I learned to play the piano at a young age. and i guess that kinda grew on me. the hip hop thing started really about 2 years ago. i really didnt take it serious…til i recorded this song “who am i”….and this girl told me that she could relate to the song and it made her cry….after that…i looked at my lyricism as a gift. from that moment i figured i could go as far as i wanna go.
 Julian K.: Are you signed with a label or are you independent?
Paqman Tha Kidd: Im unsigned…doing independent projects with other artists…im kinda on the border with being in a group or pursueing my career solo…but whatever happens..happens..
 Julian K.: If youve done some, how many shows have you done and do you enjoy performing live for an audience?
Paqman Tha Kidd: I have not done any live shows…but im looking foward to doing that in the future
 Julian K.: Have you made any contact with anyone big in the industry or someone locally known?
Paqman Tha Kidd: i talked to a represenative from jive a little while back…but right now im just working with a bunch of independent artist around st. louis
 Julian K.: A big challenge for most underground artists is promotion. How do you take care of that?
Paqman Tha Kidd: previously i’ve relied on self-promotion…but for the album im assembling a promotion team…i’ll probably give my cd out for free…to kinda create a buzz for myself around the city
 Julian K.: In your opinion, what types of things should a newer artist concentrate on most to develop their skills?
Paqman Tha Kidd: well…i’ve always tried to write everyday to sharpen my skills…but as a new artists inparticular i think you have to concentrate on your personal style…its kinda easy to try to sound like a ‘lil wayne’ or ‘jeezy’. but i think you have to do your own thing and make it work for you
 Julian K.: When you first started recording music, did you ever do something different then how you record music now?
Paqman Tha Kidd: my flow has advanced as i progressed…but nothing has really changed but like adlibs and things like that
 Julian K.: Is there a specific way you record you’re music like, do you record your verse first then hooks or vice versa?

 

Paqman Tha Kidd: i usually record my hook first…..but lately im only using that for the first 2 hooks that occur in the song….then i lay on the verses….on the third verse i go all the way thru the hook…to capture more emotion…depending on the type of song…adlibs is usually one of the last things i put on

Julian K.: What gets you hype to record a song?

Paqman Tha Kidd: it really depends on the type of song im going to record…if im doing something crunk…im usually already in a hype mood lol…but im writing on a deep, serious topic…i git emotional about my lyrics…it gives me this cold chill inside…and i jus feed off that energy…and give everything i got everytime i step to the microphone
Julian K.: What software and hardware do you use?
  Paqman Tha Kidd: fruity loops producer edition and cubase le 4 is the basics of the software i use….i’ve been interchanging hardware for awhile trying to find the right sound….right now im using usb interface…to see how that works with my computer…im pretty much in love with my mic…itz an AKG Perception 200…it gives me some good quality
Julian K.: Who are some of you’re musical inspirations?
Paqman Tha Kidd: obviosly the greatest…Tupac Shakur…out of new school artist…you gotta put weezy in there…i really like his word play…plies , cassidy, jeezy, t.i, juelz, lupe fiasco, kanye west, willie the kidd, reed dollaz and jody breeze. i think i have a little piece of all of those artist…they make great music
Julian K.: Do you have any upcoming projects you’d like us to know about? 
 Paqman Tha Kidd: right now im working on my album…it called “Hell’s Poet”…should be ready sometime this summer…i plan on distinguishing myself from the crowd with this album
Julian K.: Any people you want to give a shout out to?
Paqman Tha Kidd: gotta shout out to my fam, Tha T3am, all the artists im working with….all the st. louis artists out here trying to put us on the map…gotta shout out Walnut Park! All my block boyz out in these streets trying to eat, ya digg. And just anybody tryna make it in this music world…itz a tough game out here…i wish the best of luck to everybody in the hip hop movement!

Willie The Kid??

Didn’t he diss Lil wayne saying he was his ghost writer? NO! Thats Gillie Da kid’s bald ass! Willie The Kid is a much better rapper and doesn’t need beef to blow up. Some of you might know him as “La The Darkman” ’s little brother. Others might have heard of him from Dj Drama’s album. He was on the single “5000 Ones”

He’s the one after Yung Joc. Pretty hot. He got some nice punchlines. He’s slowly blowing up. If you haven't heard of him it's time to listen, he's one of the hottest coming up right now.

Brett Favre Retires-3/4/08-Source:ESPN

It would have been nice if the final pass of his 17-season career hadn’t been intercepted. Or if the final game of his football life hadn’t been a loss in overtime. Or if the lingering memory of that Jan. 20 NFC Championship hadn’t been of Brett Favre looking like he’d just been removed from the frozen food section of your local grocery store.

But Favre has always defied logic. He played when his body begged him not to. He threw passes into slivers of daylight, or no light at all. And he retired when it seemed there was every reason for him to return for an 18th year. I don’t blame him. The NFL ages you like dog years. Every game extracts a price not only from your body, but also from your will. Favre can still throw a football through three sheets of drywall, but there’s more to it than that.

On Sept. 27, 1992, Favre started at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers and led them to a 17-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers

He never missed another start – regular season or playoffs – knocking out 275 games in a row.

Take a moment and let that roll around in your head because even though Favre got more than his share of praise from fawning fans and media during his iconic, championship career in Green Bay, his consecutive game streak may be the one accomplishment that is underappreciated.

You’re never supposed to say never, but this is the NFL record that will never be broken.

Win or lose, Brett Favre was always worth watching. The future Hall of Famer says he’s finished, but he will leave a lasting legacy.

My Thoughts: Even though i am not a packers fan…he’s a legend and made everyone look foward to an exciting game …as for retirement..he’s a future hall of famer and has nothing to prove, looking back on my same scenario its always the right move though it just isnt easy walking away from something you love soo much, i hope he becomes a scout or starts some kind of Mini camp and helps the youth get more involved in the sport and in their community.

Thanks for the great games & memories Brett….

Yeah, it’s been a while since I wrote something here so I was thinking this was a good time. Anyways, My prediction for the year 2008 is that it’s going to be the state Florida’s year. Why you ask?

He’s one of the reasons why. Yeah, one rapper can’t hold the whole state on his back. That’s why there’s Rick Ross back with his sophomore album Trilla Rick Ross Trilla Album Cover

There’s way more rappers to come.

Ms.Trina is back with her 4th album, here’s her first single.

And also, 2 Pistols, his new single with another Florida native, She got it is blowing up real fast.

Don’t Forget that Plies is coming back with his sophomore album “Da Definition Of Real”

That’s enough for me to declare that it’s possible that it’s Floridas year. BUT there’s STILL MORE. Dj Khaled is going to come back with his 3rd album in the summer. Do I need any other reasons? I think not. But if you’re not convinced, then be on the look out for these rappers on the come up: Brisco, David Lyn, Joe Hound, Triple C’s and many more. And also, be on the look out for the producers “The Runners” and “Kane Beatz”.

Fat Joe The Don Cartagena millions of albums sold the face of Latin rap music. The Voice that we have herd so many times on those old freestyles side by side with rap legend Big Pun. This is the same Fat Joe who has shared the stage with the notorious big in the early 90’s. This is the same Fat Joe Champion huddies and timz freestyling on the corner in the Bronx. Fat Joe is the Bronx and the Bronx is Joe he is doing what he and Pun use to dream of and that is to prove that Latins can do this too.

Why don’t we respect Joe? Because everything he touches warms up the air waves? Because all of his albums are either certified gold or platinum? Or maybe we hate Joe because Remy ma does either way us hip-hop heads have a problem showing Fat Joe love.
