How to sell more BEATS online - part 3 - Get on Forums

 
The most important thing about being in the music industry is to get as much exposure as possible. The great thing about selling beats online is that you can get so much exposure for free. One great way to get exposure is utilizing forums. 
 
Now I know we spoke before about having your own forum, but this is different, this is actually making yourself known on other people's forums. For example, one of my favorite forums is FutureProducers.com, I post on here regularly helping other people and adding real value to discussions.
 
Search around Google for forums where you think artists may hang out, then make some really valuable posts on that forum. Posting valuable information does not mean spamming the hell out of the forum, this is unethical and just doesn't work. Spamming is counteractive and will only lose you respect.
 
When you join a forum, you'll want to set a signiture which appears at the bottom of every one of your posts. In this signature you can post a link to your website. People only tend to click on this link if you are active in the forum and post valuable information so make sure that's exactly what you do.
 
Staying active on as many forums as you can possibly manage is priceless to your business and will bring you in huge amounts of traffic and cost you absolutely nothing. Don't underestimate the power of this technique.
