Tools to Sell Beats With Email
Aweber – By far the most important tool that I use to promote my beats, product, and services is Aweber. This should be the first step you take for your business if you want to sell beats online at a consistent rate. Start building that email list from day 1 and use a service like Aweber to manage your list of email subscribers.
Content Upgrade Pro: Are you using your blog to sell beats? If so, this WordPress plugin is a must have to add new music artists to your email list using pop up/opt in forms throughout your blog post. This is like a mini version of leadpages but without the high cost of the $37 per month fee. Try it out; it’s well worth the small investment.

Tools for Testing and Tracking
Google Analytics – Get a deep insight into your website visitors using google analytics. You can – and should – find out where your traffic is coming from, what pages they are clicking on, and how long they are staying on your website. You can also set up website conversions with google analytics.
If you’re doing paid advertising using Facebook, banner ads, solo ads, or google adwords you will have to track all that traffic to see which one is bringing the most sales and subscribers. It also provides additional data that is hard to track using google analytics.
Social Media Tools I Use to Sell More Beats
Bufferapp – Do you spend most of your day on social media trying to sell your beats? I don’t and it’s because I use this app to send my tweets, Facebook updates, Google plus, and LinkedIn posts on autopilot.
Pre-schedule all your updates for a week. It only takes a couple minutes a day and, believe me, you won’t have to worry about spending most of your time on social media.
Click to Tweet – If you’re creating great content on your blog, having click to tweet boxes throughout the articles is a great way to get the visitors to retweet specific quotes from your article.
